Our Story

For over 40 years, the mother-daughter team of Carol Riman and Simone Stone have offered award-winning framing and beautiful art as The Frame Man. After many years of serving customers with exceptional service, Carol decided to retire. We are honored to step into her shoes and continue providing the same level of service that you have come to know and trust.

In February 2023, The Frame Man joined forces with Adjective Art & Framing in Stoughton, MA, and has rebranded as Waldo Custom Framing. This partnership enhances our offerings and allow us to provide an even wider range of services and products to our valued customers. With The Frame Man's expertise in custom picture framing and Adjective Art & Framing's focus on fine art, conservation, and installation, this partnership represents the best of both worlds.
