The owner, Max K, was extremely helpful with all of my framing needs, including, framing a Pele and a Maradona jersey, and giving advice on where to scan an antique photo before having it beautifully framed. Highly recommend Max and OJ Gallery

This is an overdue, but very necessary review. I brought a special piece of art, a water painting on a stretched canvas, for Max to frame. Not only did he very precisely and professionally pick out the right frame, but did a beautiful job, at a reasonable and fair price, and delivered and hung it too! He was able to translate the image my decorator had and execute perfectly! AND he is an absolute pleasure to work with...so much so that I am having him frame another very large piece now!

I believe in giving credit where credit is due. I am adding to the below review that I have previously written. Awhile ago I purchased a very large framed picture for my wedding anniversary. I took it to Max because I needed it shipped to California. I had nightmares about shipping this thing. Max assured me it would arrive in perfect condition. He reframed the picture, changed the glass, prepared it for shipment, and sent it off to California. When my wife received it she said it literally took her 30 minutes to unpack. She said there was not a scratch on it due to the attention to detail from

This was my first framing experience, and Max made it a great one! He offered honest advice and suggestions on how to best frame my art, and gave me a first time customer discount. I will be returning!
