Custom Framing to You has been in the works for several years trying to figure out what the consumer would want in the framing and art business.
The recent years of recessions and slow economic growth have contributed to the solution.
We created the idea of bringing the framing gallery to the consumer.
In this more personal one-on-one manner the consultant can coordinate the colors with the art and the interior and décor of the room so the framed piece will look beautiful in the room. With the ability to see the samples in your own home there are more opportunities for the mouldings and mat colors that you might not think would work.
We work from a fully equipped workshop utilizing state-of-the-art framing equipment and pride ourselves on a high level of quality and service
including the ability to handle urgent requirements should you require quality frames in a hurry.
We operate a personal service where we come to your home or business
with a large range of samples for you to select from and deliver the frames back within an agreed timescale, all at no extra cost to you. We can also furnish installation services, which are complimentary on certain orders.

Paul M. Allen, an experienced framer, has been framing for many years and recently has completed the professional and advanced continuing education courses at the American Picture Framing Academy.
Featured Services
Custom framing
Custom Framing To You is proud to offer fine conservation framing using some of the world’s most beautiful and elegant mouldings. Our moulding samples include: classical hardwoods, contemporary metal mouldings, antiqued gold and silver profiles, and intricate carved woods.
All forms of artwork
Oil on canvas, pastels, watercolors, prints, etc. Whenever possible, we frame to conservative grade as a minimum, this ensures your art is protected from contamination and deterioration, such as acid burn, while in the frame. The framing project should last a lifetime.
Fabric Art
Cross-stitch to Batiks, we stretch the Artwork using the traditional method of loop stitching to ensure a professional finish, which will not slip in the frame. We do not charge for fabric stretching. We do not use double-sided tape to secure the art.
Photographs
Amazing things can be done with digital photographs. Weddings, graduations, holidays, vacations, all can be enlarged and framed. With our digital printing capabilities, enlargements up to 40” wide are possible. Artists - even amateurs, can save hours of labor by making high quality prints of your work. Simply scan your piece and send us the file and you can have extra copies for family and friends or to sell.
Custom Designed Shadow Boxes
Custom Framing To You will help you display prized objects in a shadow box or simple table display. We pride ourselves in shadow Boxing anything!
