Masterpiece Framing + Imaging team gathered for dinner, reflecting company culture and purpose since 2002.

Our Story

Since 2002

Built One Frame at a Time

Masterpiece started in a basement workshop in 2002 and has grown into two frame shops serving customers locally and nationwide. Along the way, we've framed everything from family photographs and artwork to sports memorabilia, guitars, and some things we never imagined we'd be asked to frame. More than 20 years later, we still enjoy figuring out the next one.

Made to Last

Our Mission

Make good frames and take good care of the things people bring us.

Whether it's a photograph, painting, keepsake, or something completely unexpected, we treat every project with care and frame it to last.

Artists at Heart

Our Team

Masterpiece is more than a shop, it's people. Designers, artists, framers, problem-solvers. We work together, we eat meals together, and we believe culture is built day by day, not declared on paper.
