Who are we?
 

Let us introduce ourselves; We are Delmere and Kris McLean, the owners and crafters of McLean Frames
 

 In 1992, after enjoying many hours of creating frames and learning the craft of custom framing, we made the decision to turn our hobby, into a small business.
 

 Our first years were spent creating a few hundred frames for our limited customer base which consisted of mostly friends and family. Since those early years, we have continued to study the techniques of our trade while expanding and perfecting our craft. We have now produced thousands of frames for several hundreds of our ever increasing base of customers. We still like to consider them as friends and family.

What do we do?

Quality, Unique design, and Service. We pride ourselves in producing Handcrafted, Heirloom quality picture frames and shadow boxes. We have developed a distinct, recognizable style,  that we feel has separated us from the rest of the framing world. We use preservation quality materials and techniques to protect your valuable items. We strive to be innovators of unique designs that will allow you, our customer, to enjoy that “one of a kind” frame. It is our goal to provide you with a product that you will be as proud to display as we are to craft it for you.  

When are we available?

What’s most convenient for you? We have been primarily a “appointment only” frame shop. Free pick up and delivery is always an option within the Fargo- Moorhead and surrounding area. McLean Frames has been built as a Second business for us. As our business has grown, we find that the appointment process still works very well for our customers. It allows us to devote 100% of our attention to our customers and their projects. Although we produce hundreds of frames per year, we are not a mass production shop. You can be assured that your frame will be of the same hand crafted quality and unique design that has made us successful.

Where are we?

We are located in Lake Ashtabula, a very scenic area north of Valley City, in the Great State of North Dakota!  We are in a very progressive area with Strong Midwest Values.

Why are we Successful

We attribute the backbone of our success to building and maintaining a satisfied customer base one at a time. We feel that process has provided us with the best advertising any business could hope for, “word of mouth”. 

If you decide to have a custom frame or shadow box build by McLean Frames, you can expect the same attention to detail that we have provided since the inception of our business.

How do you get started in owning a Handcrafted McLean Frame.  

Drop us an Email or give us a call. Our design process can be as involved or as simple as you choose. We will provide you with as many ideas as we can to guide you through the decision making processes. Many of our customers like to drop Items off, let us develop design ideas for them, and then return to view a variety of options that we will suggest. Many of our long time customers will simply have us pick up their items, give us a general idea of what they want and trust us to provide them with the quality frame that they have come to expect from us.
