Trewin Framery

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!

I was in need of having glass replaced on a photo of mine that was very dear and Norman did a really nice job. He is very Meticulous in every detail. Cares deeply about he's work.

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

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.

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.

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.

If you have that special art piece you're needing to frame, Norman Ham with Trewin Framery is the man you want to do the job. Give him your ideas on what you'd like and he truly has an eye for what's needed to enhance any picture. He is very professional, knowledgeable and enjoys his work. It's important to him that you are happy, which I was very happy with how beautiful and detailed to perfection he made my art piece. Everything that needed to be done to preserve the art he went over with me, so that I'll be able to cherish this piece forever. You can trust that Norm will make your artwork look very special just like mine. Thank you so much Norm, It looks amazing!!

Excellent experience working with Norm at Trewin Framery. I brought in two original pieces to be framed and, when all was done, left the framery truly satisfied with the product and my overall experience. Norm is extremely communicative and has amazing customer service. My schedule is quite erratic yet he was able to always stay in touch and accommodate my availability. The custom frames he produced for me were done with great focus on detail and beautifully compliment the pieces they encase. He truly did them justice. It is evident that Norm cares deeply about his work and his trade. I will definitely be returning.We just moved into our house so pics coming soon.

This place is fantastic! My family and I were getting ready to move and we asked Norm if he could help us frame an old poster of me and my platoon from my first deployment to Iraq and another poster. We needed it completed in just two days and he went far beyond what we expected to get it done in one day! He's an honest business man and we just couldn't be happier that we tried this place. We had checked out a couple other places and Norm offered a better price and also did a great job giving us some options as well as explaining the process of completing the job. Five stars for the service he provided and six stars for his customer service! Thank you so much Norm, it was a pleasure to meet you. Jon and Basia

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!
