Fine Arts Giclee & Frame

We were looking for a professional that would take care of this ’77 poster (30+ years) we brought from Europe. Even with a tiny margin at the bottom they manage to get the poster perfectly flat. The mat was picked among a full palette of white to match the aged white of the poster. Very well done.

I had three large, 24×36 paintings photographed by Mike. He answered the phones, received the artwork, and presented the final files — it’s always great to work with a single point-​of-​contact to prevent any miscommunication. Great job, good value for the price, and a flawless transaction. I will absolutely return for my next photography needs.

Mike runs a mighty fine shop here. I’ve got a very critical eye for detail, and mike nails it every time! Craftsmanship and his nice eye for composition and ideas are top notch. As long as I live in San Jose, this guy gets all of my art collection business.
Trust this place. You will not go wrong! Thank you mike!!!

I’ve found my new go-​to shop for framing. Mike at Fine Arts Giclee & Frame was incredibly helpful in making my vision become reality.
He printed the photo that I brought in on my thumb drive, tweaked the photo colors for me, laid out a bunch of matting, framing, and glass options so I could see them next to my art, and even lent me his artistic insight, without being pushy at all.
Then BAM! Less than a week later my project was done. The finished product is absolutely beautiful; even better than I expected. And I saved money because Mike told me about the Unilocal discount. I cannot wait to come back with other projects!

The owner is incredibly nice, and you really can’t beat the service. I took a print there with the hopes of getting a high quality frame. And the owner just went over the top, which was wonderful. Museum glass, custom options, the works. Definitely will go back!

Highly recommend Mike at Fine Arts Giclee & Frame. He is friendly, professional, timely and reliable. All of the prints and giclees I’ve had done have been top quality.
Mike gets extra points for giving me some great business tips as an artist just getting my own business started. Thanks!

Very helpful, Completed on time and did a beautiful job

I’ve had two things done by Fine Arts Giclee & Frame: a frame made for a collection of pictures, and a photo restoration. I am extremely pleased with both jobs. Mike is a friendly and customer-​service oriented business owner who wants his customers to get high quality service. Everything I had done was completed in a timely manner and I was given many options for both style and pricing. Mike is definitely someone who stands behind his work and wants his customers to be happy.

I learned of Fine Arts Giclee from my fiancé. She had Mike frame a few of my photos.
Mike recently helped me ready a photo montage I made for my Father as well as did the printing and the framing. All work was done professionally and perfectly. Mike does great work and my Father was very happy.
Mike has a quite shop with high-​quality equipment and is capable of doing a number things besides framing/​mounting. Aside from the professional aspects, Mike, personally, is a great guy. He’s very attentive, easy going, super helpful and on time! All of the jobs to date were done ahead of when he said they would be done.
Give him a try.

We found Fine Arts Giclee & Frame under unfortunate circumstances — my brother-​in-​law had passed away, and we needed portraits printed and framed in a hurry. My first instinct was to print at CostCo and find a frame at Michael’s or Aaron Brothers, but as luck would have it, the turnaround time would’ve been just a tad shy of what we needed.
My wife used her mighty search-​fu and that was when we came to Mike at Fine Arts Giclee & Frame. And the first thing he said when we explained our needs were, «Don’t worry, I will get it done on time.» That’s exactly what we needed to hear — at a time of grief and mourning and trying to get a funeral service in order, it was a Godsend to find Mike and his craftsmanship and willingness to push to meet deadlines.
To be honest, when I first heard the prices, I thought they were perhaps a bit high — after all, my point of reference was a CostCo canvas print and a ready-​made frame from Michael’s. But oh my goodness — when I went to pick up the prints, they were beautiful, absolutely beautiful, and the frames themselves were absolute works of art. The color, texture and material that Mike suggested for both portraits really add an air of honor and respect — I’m really not sure how to put it into words, but if you saw the portraits in person, you would understand. It was everything my brother-​in-​law deserved in his memory.
Thank you, Mike, for your professionalism and your help in our time of grief. I hope we can do business together again.

Mike is an extremely patient, skillful, and thoughtful person to work with.
Over the course of about a month, we corresponded via email and phone regarding a project in the works which included a community-​made mural (large 7×5 foot painting on canvas) which needed to be gallery wrapped. He listened to the aspects of our public art project, suggested solutions, provided reasonable quotes, and worked on it tirelessly once it was in his shop. He even called me personally when he ran into an obstacle so I could drop by to see our mural’s progress. Sure enough, upon pick up today, the finished product was outstanding. What he was able to pull off given what little he had to work with was phenomenal. And now the community will get to enjoy this piece of public art in time for its grand reveal this Saturday!
Thank you for everything, Mike!

absolutely fantastic, as a complete newbie to the world of picture framing, I had almost no idea what I was getting into when I needed a high quality poster framed up. mike was superb and very helpful, explaining the basic process and making it much less scary.
with a large poster I was unsure of what to expect in terms of price, all I needed was a simple, but good quality framing. with the Unilocal deal, it brought the job right into my price range, letting me get exactly what I wanted, a great high quality basic frame job to turn this into a fantastic Christmas present.
thank you mike, and thank you for the special offers, I can’t always afford the level of quality I want to procure for gifts. I feel very confident in this now.

Mike was very patient in helping me select the perfect matting and frame for my charcoal drawing. He took a few samples of frames and mats that I liked and showed me how they’d look on my drawing. He provided good insight and had an artistic eye on which colors and frame designs would look best with the art. I never felt rushed at all.
The framing was done in a timely manner and it came out PERFECT. Very clean bevel cuts on the mats and the alignment was perfect. No smudges or debris inside the glass and the whole frame is solid. Nice black backing and the whole thing was packaged and wrapped nicely.
Pricing is on the high side but its worth it if you want the best. This guy does high-​end stuff. This is not your typically Michaels or Aaron Brothers frame shop. Mike will be my first pick if I need anything else framed.

What a wonderful framing store! The owner is so helpful and really has an artistic eye to help with framing options. I highly recommend coming here for all your framing needs!

Mike did an outstanding job and the service was fast and friendly! I will certainly be coming back for any future framing needs I may, and highly recommend coming here! Mike has the vision, all you need is something that needs to be framed and just leave the rest up to him!

After driving around town to several shops trying to match the current frames that we have in the office, this was the place that had it. I so wanted to shoot myself because I could have save those trips if I only I initially use Unilocal to search for a framing shop. This place is literally around the corner from me. Like many other reviews, this place is top notch. Elite of the eliteness. The owner Mike is awesome. Just one look at the frame sample that I brought in, he knew exactly what I needed. Went to his walls of samples, and matched my sample to a T. The price was very reasonable, considering you will get a professional framing your piece. If you check in on Unilocal you will save $ 25. This is the place that you need to go to when you want something professionally done. You will not get any more professionally than this. The work was done under 2 weeks and when I picked up the pieces they were professionally wrapped. I will definitely bring more business to Mike.

Found this guy on Unilocal after the previous place I frequented for framing closed. I want only the finest materials and workmanship for things hanging in my home. Giclee did not disappoint. Countless mid to hi-​end framing materials and options to choose from… and the work was perfect. I’ve had many pieces framed in the past several years and I know perfect.

The owner is a very nice man and the service is quality. I like that he can take a picture of whatever you’re looking to have framed and show you how it might look with different frames. If you frame multiple items, he’s willing to give you a deal.
I generally don’t get things framed professionally so I was a bit taken aback by the pricing, but overall I’m very happy with how things turned out, and given my sentimental attachment to what I had framed, I think the cost is justified.

Late last year I purchased an oversized (5′ wide x 3′ tall) poster signed by Michael Jordan. I brought it to my usual frame company to have it framed, but they said that because it was so big, that they did not have the means to mount it prior to framing it. I tried and failed with 3 other places to get this service done before I was finally referred by one of them to Mike. He knew exactly what to do and dry mounted it for a reasonable price.
I have to be honest, due to the value and cost of this item, I was quite concerned about how it would turn out. The autograph was in silver paint pen and could easily be ruined if the machine they used smudged it at all, but I picked it up a few weeks later and it was perfect!
I will soon be bringing a second piece to him for a similar service and would recommend this company to anyone wanting top notch quality and craftsmanship.
Many thanks to Mike!

I picked up my diploma (it was ready for me ahead of schedule) — it looks amazing, especially considering that it had been crumpled/​rolled up for so long! Thanks, Mike!
