How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
The Frame and Mat Shop was started by the late Fred Borchers. In the 1960's, he finished pianos for the Story & Clark Piano Company in Grand Haven, Michigan. The craftsmanship skills he acquired during his time there evolved into learning the process of handcrafting frame moulding, metal leaf gilding and staining for custom framing. His son, Daniel Borchers, worked by his side carefully learning these skills and applies them daily as he continues to grow the family business. As a result, the Frame and Mat Shop has the largest and widest selection of wood and metal moulding in West Michigan and is well known for its exceptional customer service and professional staff.
