Amazing work and great attention to detail! I trusted Norm with my early 17th century map and he took excellent care of it. Really happy with the final product.

I couldn't get home fast enough to write my review of Trewin Framery in Modesto, California.Norm the owner is a true master of the art of framing pictures. I brought in a rather rare photo of Ava Gardener from the 50's and Norm created something I will always cherish. From an Italian handmade mother of pearl inlay frame to a perfectly colored mat that really made the photo pop, I actually had to take a few steps back when first I saw it completed. It is beyond stunning. Breathtaking. Don't be dissuaded by the amount of time it may take Norm to complete the work. Trust me, it is WORTH IT. One of the most precious things I own. Thank you Norm, you are incredible and I will never go anywhere else!

Norm is simply the best. He is truly skilled at the art of framing. His artist eye and his ability to get the of feel of the artwork lead to a beautifully framed piece that is in harmony & beautiful to the eye. Norm took the time to get to know what we had in mind for the painting and where it was going to be hung. He is a joy to work with! As soon as I talked to him on our initial phone call, I knew he was the man for the job! Trustworthy & meticulous, I would trust none other!

Thank you Norm!!! For anybody needing custom picture or project framing, I would definitely recommend Norm @ Trewin Framery. With Norm’s great customer service & knowledge I don’t think there’s any project too big or small.

I came in with an irreplaceable poster that happen water damaged. I didn't expect much could be done I thought I should try anyway. Norm took the time to reassure me that it was fixable and help me pick out the right frame and matting for it. When he put everything together he realized that it didn't work and made new suggestions. I'm glad he did because the end result is fantastic. It is obvious that he put in a lot of time and effort to make sure that this poster was restored and framed perfectly. I'm so glad I went to see him and will definitely go to him for all my future framing needs

Absolutely stunning job. Norm is a true artist and the finished work speaks for itself. The process was very personal and took a couple weeks. He is very busy so make sure you follow up a few times to make sure things are on track.

After spending three years in Grad School for two degrees, I decided they both needed a nice frame to preserve and display them. Knowing nothing about framing or the Modesto area I spent a lot of time on Google/Yelp reading reviews of large chain stores, I found Norm's Frame Shop on the list and the reviews raves about his extensive knowledge and attention to detail. On my first visit, Norm was extremely welcoming and not pretentious about his work- he explained to me what he thought I needed and how he would choose materials that would ensure the longevity of my documents. He was extremely communicative and found ways to work within my budget. Norm is such a great business man, who cares a lot about his work and about his customers. We never were able to finish my second diploma because time got away from me and I was moved to Memphis for work. Still, Norm shares notes with me to give to my next framer so they can complete the Job. I don't know if I'll find another framer as good as Norm, but I'm so happy I own one of his pieces.

Norm is fantastic! He does excellent work at a fair price. He takes the time during your consultation to really get your framing done right. His work really makes your art work come to life. Prices are transparent and fair. He's done 3 concert posters of mine so far. Keep up the great work Norm, I'll keep coming back!

I found Norm on Google Search when I was looking for a custom framer for my Graduate Degrees. New to the area, I visited his site and asked him what he could do for me - and I was extremely pleased with how knowledgeable and welcoming he was as he shared his opinions and ideas of what we could do to make my ideas come true. I like how personal the experience is - Norm takes a lot of pride in his work and focuses on ensuring customer satisfaction, something you miss when you visit Michaels. I was able to discuss prices and changes throughout the process and he assured me that when I was ready, if I wasn't satisfied, he'd fix it! I enjoyed working with him and look forward to bringing more pieces for him to work on.

I've brought Norm everything from high end photography to vintage warped painting and low end posters- he is an incredible artist who cares deeply about creating an authentic framing experience for the piece. He will really put creative thought into what makes your pieces pop and complement. The real deal. 6 stars.

Norm at Trewin Framery is exceptional to work with! He's very accommodating (I've asked him to help me with 2 separate rushed projects, and he helped me with no hesitation!), professional, and kind. Norm also always makes it right. He will help guide you through the selection of frame and matte, will recommend the best quality available, and help you achieve your framing needs. He delivers a beautiful product that anyone would be proud to display. Thank you Norm!

At the beginning of Summer 2019 I needed some pictures framed. I came across some pretty good reviews for a hole-in-the-wall framing store (it's literally located within a larger flooring store) so I decided to give it a try. The old "quality or quantity" adage could not fit this business any better. Norman Ham (owner) has over 30+ years experience and I never would have imagined all that goes into a single framing job. And it's not just the physical work, he has an extremely keen artistic eye. With a majority of our conversations we saw eye-to-eye (no pun intended) with regards to color, composition and style. His years of experience can offer up suggestions or recommendations you would have thought of. There are A LOT of high end lithographs, prints & photos in his shop awaiting their frame. He takes immense pride in the work he does as he understands that every single person that walks into your home is going to see his work. You can go to a "big store" and pay less to frame a picture but all you have to do is simply pick up and hold one of Norm's framing jobs and you can immediately tell it is quality work. I highly recommend Norm at Trewin Framery.
