A Family-Owned Business

Carter Framing, formerly known as Pro Framing, has proudly served Manassas and Northern Virginia for 40 years. New name, same location! We have quality products for the right price!

 

Michael Carter and his partner, Susie Zill acquired the storefront custom framing business in 2016 from Mike’s long-time friend and co-worker Pam Chiocca when she retired.

​

Michael earned his degree in Art from James Madison University. As a painter, he constructed frames for his own artwork and has been working in the custom picture framing industry for over 30 years. He has framed a vast variety of items, including photos, posters, original paintings, jerseys and memorabilia. His measurements are meticulous, his work exacting, and he treats each client’s work with TLC.

​

Susie’s lifetime career has been in the field of education. She hails from Pittsburgh, PA, but has lived in the Northern Virginia area since 2000. As she leaves her job of working with children behind, Susie is pleased to join the field of custom framing.

​

Michael, Susie and their sidekick, Patches the Shop Dog, appreciate the warm welcome received from our fellow Manassas business owners, and from clients, old and new. We are proud members of the Manassas community and supporters of our local police force. Also, we work closely with the local art museum located in the Candy Factory.

In Memory of Patches

Patches served as Carter Framing's friendly mascot/greeter for seven years. He retired his position of Shop Dog in 2023. When he wasn't napping in one of his six cozy beds, he kept Mike company in our home workshop.

Patches passed away on Feb. 25, 2025 at the age of 15. He is dearly missed by us and his many friends and neighbors who visit the Reb Yank Shopping Center.
