About Us
Welcome to Spring Mountain Framing & Gallery!
Spring Mountain Picture Framing and Gallery has been serving Half Moon Bay since 1980, under the name of Spring Mountain Gallery. Owned and operated by Michael A. Wong and Deb Wong
Hand-Crafted with Archival Materials
We use archival, acid-free materials in our Picture Framing Department. We frame a wide variety of photographs, artworks, textiles, documents and keepsakes.
Our mats are hand-cut with archival mat board. We are authorized dealers for Larson-Juhl, International Moulding, Crescent, Peterboro, Omega Moulding, Studio Moulding, and Neilsen-Bainbridge. We also sell ready-made frames for those on a budget.
Framing Options: Custom or Ready-Made
FOR THOSE ON A BUDGET: We offer our standard-size ready-made frames, and ways to present your artwork and photos affordably.
CUSTOM: For those special artworks and photos, we offer a wide variety of mat colors, completed by custom wood or metal mouldings, with your choice of glazing (Standard glass, traditional non-glare, Conservation Clear 99% UV glass or high-quality Museum 99% UV filter glass.)
For simple poster and print mounts (no frame, glass, or mats) we use Acid-Free foam core and adhere the print onto the board, then we install supports in the back, with a hanger. Just hang on the wall! From $20. (8x10" size) up.
Examples of Our Work
A canvas of a painting by John Roddam Spencer Stanhope. We chose a baroque- museum style frame - perfect to surround the scene.
Testimonials
I recently deposited a collection of my artwork that I brought from my home on the east coast to Spring Mountain Framing. I had a short window to get my work framed for the art show I was exhibiting in. When I read the reviews on yelp, I decided to take a chance with this otherwise unknown to me framing shop. To say that Deb and Michael Wong exceeded my expectations would be an understatement! Their suggestions for framing and keeping the budget down really helped to enhance my display and my sales. Mike especially loved a watercolor that I had done of the Pacific coast on maps, and he encouraged me to frame it in a way that really beautified the art and increased the value. When that piece sold, I once again reminded myself that I was super lucky to stumble upon Mike and Deb's shop. - Carol Shalom
Personable and friendly 'hometown' service. Deb and Michael were great with my prints, and gave me fantastic advice for matting and framing. No need to go over the hill to get my pictures and artwork framed (thank god). Thumbs way up :) – Cynthia K.
Excellent work as always and done much sooner than expected!! Have gone to Spring Mtn for years and will continue to go for years to come!! - Vicki
I recently received certificates from several government officials. I was chosen as The 2013 Bert Carli Volunteer of the Year for Half Moon Bay. I was not sure how to frame the awards. I took them to Spring Mountain Gallery. They are friendly and professional, and listened to my ideas about the frames and were very helpful. They did a beautiful job selecting the mats and frames. I am very pleased to hang them in my office. Thanks Michael and Deb. You are the Best! - Teresa Adam
If you have photographs that you want to frame, bring them here. Deb and Michael are photographers, and know immediately how to crop and frame photographs. They are seasoned professionals. - Christie Carson
I just went to this Gallery today on a rush basis, and they amazingly framed two photographs for an art show in just five hours. I probably hit it lucky time-wise, because they were not too busy on the first day after a holiday weekend. Don't count on being that lucky. Nonetheless, it shows that they know what they are doing, can concentrate, and get the job done in a methodical but creative way. I had photos that were a non-standard size, and they handled it. – A.
