Services
Custom Framing
Our custom framing service creates museum-quality displays tailored to your artwork. Using acid-free materials and UV-filtering glass, we protect and enhance pieces ranging from fine art to family photos. Clients collaborate directly with our team to select frames, mats, and mounting techniques that reflect their style while ensuring longevity. Each frame is handmade in our Los Angeles studio for precision and quality.
Canvas Stretching
We stretch canvases using keyed stretcher bars and cross bracing for structural support. This method ensures durability and a taut, professional finish. For delicate pieces, we employ conservation techniques like strip lining to reinforce edges. Our process preserves the integrity of your canvas while preparing it for framing or display.
Shadowbox Framing
Shadowbox framing showcases dimensional objects like sculptures, textiles, or memorabilia. We design custom acrylic cases or deep frames to securely display items while protecting them from dust and damage. Our team works with clients to balance aesthetics and functionality, ensuring even unconventional items are presented beautifully.

We offer custom mirror framing using beveled, antique, or specialty glass paired with decorative frames. This service enhances mirrors as statement pieces while ensuring secure mounting.

A & A have framed so many pieces for us over the last couple of years, and we won't ever go anywhere else. They go far beyond the basics of a typical framing shop and work with care, passion, and an artist's eye to create beautiful & creative framing that brings the piece to life. They love what they do, and it shows.

Swing by your local frame shop for a level of perfectionism that would make a museum art curator proud. Andrew and Andria are not only two of the most genuine and kind people we know, they are also totally dedicated to their craft and incredibly talented. Andria's eye for color and material will help guide you towards elevating your piece. Andrew expertly handles logistics while flipping the vinyls in shop to keep the vibe just right during your private appointment. We found their store through YELP and were so happy with their work that we keep going back. We have gotten a total of 18 pieces framed

I've been to Hang Steady multiple times for framing some very important art. They "nailed it" every time, and they finished the projects early, as well. They work by appointment, which is especially convenient because you're not waiting around for other customers to stop talking about their pets, or whatever social humans talk about.
Plus, I love the thing they use for mounting the pieces on the wall so that it's always even. Thank you, guys!

I wish there were 5 more stars. I'd recommend Andria & Andrew to any and everyone who'd listen. They're both as kind, thoughtful, and skilled as they come. My entire experience, from beginning to end, was first class. The finished piece inspires me in ways I can't describe. Looking forward to working with them on many more projects.

Hang Steady provides the best framing experience you'll ever have. I've gone there to get multiple art prints and original pieces framed and have always been blown away by the final product. Besides their skilled craftsmanship and passion, Andria and Andrew's easy-going nature make the process super fun whether you come in with an idea in mind or open to anything. My first time there I asked a lot of questions about framing and they answered them all with professionalism and thoughtfulness. They also take great care and precaution in handling the art you need framed. Don't hesitate to give them

Had a fabulous and fun experience working with Andria & Andrew on framing the art for my office. They are so talented, sensitive, caring; simply delightful. Cannot praise them highly enough. Don't even look at any other framers; honestly, these are the best in town.
