Custom Framing · Lubbock, Texas

Some things deserve more than a frame off the shelf.

Fine art, photography, mirrors, paintings, certificates, military, shadowboxes, diplomas, canvases, jerseys, heirlooms — the pieces you bring us are one of a kind, and we frame them that way. Designed with you at the counter and built by hand in our Lubbock shop, the way it's been done here since 1975.

  • Framing Lubbock since 1975
  • Every piece completed in-house
  • One-on-one design help

How it works

Framing something is easy. We do the hard part.

  1. Bring your piece in

    Art, a diploma, a jersey, something odd — bring it by the shop. No appointment needed.

  2. Design it together

    We'll lay it against real corner samples and mats until the combination feels right. You decide, we advise.

  3. We build it in-house

    Cut, joined, matted, fitted, and sealed in our own workshop — nothing gets shipped off.

  4. Pick it up, hang it up

    We'll call when it's ready and make sure it's ready to hang the moment you get home.

Our story

The shop behind the neon.

Lubbock has been bringing its art, diplomas, and family treasures to this shop since 1975. For over five decades we've framed for West Texas homes — and for pieces that have traveled all over Texas and into New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, Nevada, California, and even Massachusetts.

In 2022 the custom framing shop transitioned to its second owner, carrying the same standard forward: honest professional advice, quality materials chosen to protect and enhance what's inside the frame — and every piece built custom, never sent off.

The neon out front says Uncommon. That's the promise. If it matters enough to frame, it matters enough to frame well.
