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.
