Our Story
Serving the Coachella Valley with handcrafted custom framing since 1989.
37 Years in the Making
A Legacy Built Frame by Frame
Expressframe opened its doors in 1989 with a simple belief: that the moments we treasure most deserve to be preserved beautifully. For nearly four decades, we have been the Coachella Valley's trusted destination for custom picture framing — serving homeowners, golf clubs, country clubs, businesses, and everyone in between.
Alex and Sue first joined the Expressframe family in 2000, and in 2010 they purchased the business — committing themselves fully to the shop and the community it serves. With over 25 years of hands-on experience, they have helped thousands of customers find the perfect frame for everything from hole-in-one milestones and military honors to beloved family portraits and treasured needlework.
What sets us apart is not just our experience — it is our genuine care for every piece that comes through our door. We take the time to understand what each item means to you, and we bring that same thoughtfulness to every framing decision we make.

What We Stand For
Craftsmanship
Every frame is cut, fitted, and assembled by hand in our Palm Desert shop. We never rush the process — quality takes the time it takes.
Personal Service
We sit down with every customer to understand their vision. The right frame, mat, and glass combination is a conversation, not a transaction.
Community Roots
We are proud to be a Coachella Valley institution. From Bighorn to Chaparral, from Palm Desert homes to local businesses, our frames are woven into this community.
Preservation
We use conservation-quality materials to protect your artwork, photos, and memorabilia for generations — because some things are simply irreplaceable.
The People Behind the Frames
Meet Alex & Sue
Alex and Sue have been part of the Expressframe story since 2000, and proud owners since 2010. With over 25 years of hands-on framing experience between them, they bring both technical mastery and a warm, personal touch to every project. Whether you are framing a hole-in-one flag, a child's first artwork, or a family heirloom, Alex and Sue will treat it with the same care they would give their own.
