Eyeglass restoration
Northwest Frame Repair specializes in the restoration and customization of vintage eyeglasses. Eyeglass restoration is one of our most popular services as very few optical shops are interested in attempting to restore old frames. Often times eyeglass frames carry sentimental value, whether they belonged to a beloved family member or they’re your own personal pair from the past, we can bring that frame back to life! We can also customize eyeglasses with specific adaptions and modifications. With our plating options and the vast powder coating color selection available, we are able to color match frames with anything from jewelry to a particular outfit, hand bag, shoes or even to match the color of a favorite vehicle!
Vintage Metal Eyeglasses
Many vintage metal eyeglasses have been damaged or broken over the years. The plating fades and the frames are often bent and distorted from time. Northwest Frame Repair can repair, re-straighten and refinish these antique frames making them new once more!
Color Restoration
Sometimes a pair of glasses just fits so well and looks so good you can’t imagine retiring them. We can strip the finish off of any metal glasses and apply a durable high quality powder coat to refresh your favorite frames. Combine that with new nosepads and temple tips and they are brand new once again! Keep the same color or try something completely new! We have a large selection of colors to choose from. Check out our powder page for more information.
We have partnered with American Optical to provide repairs and restorations on all of their vintage models. We have also acquired all of the remaining new/old stock inventory for both the Original Pilot and the General, in all sizes, color options, lens options and temple types ever made! If you have an AO that needs repair or a full restoration, we are happy to help! We have restored many vintage styles of AO frames over the years and now we have all of the original parts to truly provide a full restoration of your beloved Original Pilot or General frames!
Plastic Frame Polishing and Restoration
After years of wear, hair products, UV light damage and general abuse, plastic eyeglass frames lose there luster, crack and eventually become down right nasty! We can sand, grind, fill and hand work those frames to a matte, satin, or even high luster polished finish.
Vintage Cat Eye Frames
Vintage cat eye frames are timeless and more popular than ever! We frequently refurbish a wide variety of vintage frames and some of the most fun are the CATS! If you have a pair of these beauties lying around, passed down by a family member or picked up at an estate sale, we can get them looking their best and ready to wear. They are too good to go to waste!
