Just have faith in Mario and let him do his thing! I used to bring my jerseys to another shop to be framed, but not any more. Only bringing them to Mario at Bay frames from now on, just dropped off 2 more with him after seeing the job he did on the first one. Thanks Mario!

I was in a bit of a panic. Two custom frames that I had ordered from an out of state company arrived just days before my works needed to shipped out to two separate museum shows, and they were total junk. I went to a local framer in Los Gatos and he recommended I try Mario. I immediately called Mario, explained my situation and he invited me to come by that night, and that he'd help me take care it. (He stayed past business hours to help me.) True to his word, he helped me identify the best frames that could be ordered and built by my deadline, and had them ready to go. It was not cheap, but he offered a slight discount on the frame he thought would be best for my larger piece. When I came to pick up, they were meticulously wrapped and very professional. I just got word that one of my paintings that he framed was awarded the Gold Medal for Best Portrait in the California Art Club's Gold Medal Exhibition, and it sold. Without Mario, this just wouldn't have happened. I am so grateful for his over the top customer service and his award winning framing!

We had some art work from a recent trip toThailand and Bali that we needed framed. Mario was fantastic to work with. He spent time to give us several options and his expert opinion. The frames turned out even better than we imagined and really made our art work stand out. Highly recommend!

Recently visited Mario at Bay Frames to stretch and frame a couple souvenirs I purchased in Brazil. Results speak for themselves -- Mario did a fantastic job! So much so, that I recently went back to frame a couple more pieces. Highly recommend trusting Mario with your framing needs (and picking out a frame that would work best for your art).

Mario has become my go to person for custom frames. He is very knowledgeable and his frames always exceed my expectations. Mario has made my photos and textiles look like high end art pieces. His prices are reasonable and you're investing in quality frames that can last a lifetime. What impressed me the most is my latest project where he framed a textile I got from Mexico in an acrylic box. It came out amazing and I get so many compliments from it. He also prints high quality photos. Thanks Mario!

Final product in our office in SF. We absolutely love it!

Great work with very reasonable prices. Came here to get a canvas stretched and frames and it came out Beautifully! They do offer delivery at an extra cost, and can refer you to an installer. Mario the owner has a great variety of frames and he is so patient and thoughtful during the consults, he made this whole experience very pleasant. Thank you so much for the work you did!

5 stars, outstanding framing shop. Mario had excellent customer service and took time to explain some of the process of framing as i really had no clue. We look at a few options and got creative together and found that frame and backdrop that would elevate the art. Very knowledgeable and kind individual! Highly recommend and will return for any other frame work I need. Thank you Mario

This is the piece Mario fixed looks better than original. Great service and in time delivery.

Do you repair picture frames?

Most of the times we can repair frames, however, it depends on the severity of the damage, color to match of the frame and also what material the frame is made of

We recently brought in a papyrus painting that we purchased in Egypt as a souvenir and wanted to…read morehave it professionally framed. Because papyrus is such a delicate material, it was important to us to find someone we could truly trust with the project. A few years ago, we had a piece framed here that we brought back from Zimbabwe, and the experience was so positive that we knew exactly where to return. Hector was incredibly helpful, honest, and knowledgeable throughout the process. Rather than trying to upsell us, he only recommended what he genuinely believed would be best for preserving and showcasing our painting. The finished piece exceeded our expectations, and we are extremely satisfied with the quality of the framing. We will definitely be back for future projects--not only because of the superb craftsmanship, but also because of Hector's honesty and integrity. Highly recommended!!!

It was reassuring to my family and me to hear him say he wanted to ensure the painting's integrity and beauty throughout the process. We came in one early evening with a 5'x8' painting. We got to see his impressive workshop and got a quote for stretching. Several days later, the painting was done, and they were able to mount it on our wall as well. The work is quick and we were awed by how the painting turned out. Despite his warnings abouts stretching such large, hand-painted piece, we couldn't have asked for better. We would definitely come back here again for any future services. Note: For larger paintings, such as the one we had stretched, it is preferred that your schedule be open to receive the painting once it is done.

This was our first time getting custom frames done and we cannot express enough how amazing this…read moreexperience has been with John. His shop has hundreds of frames that you can choose from and can work with various sizes of artwork. We first started with a consultation which included design suggestions from his team, and where we got to mix and match different frames with our paintings. After receiving our new frames, they did a wonderful job wrapping it up and giving us instructions on how to best place it in our home. He also gave us a follow-up call to make sure we were able to put it up. You won't find anyone else who's as passionate and knowledgable in the area and we'll be happy to come back again next time!

John guided me towards unique frames and backing that complemented the artwork while not detracting from the beauty of the pieces. I was amazed at the diversity of offerings and really appreciated having a one on one meeting dedicated to discussing the various choices, which had been thoughtfully reviewed by J & J ahead of time. At no time was I pressured into selecting any particular option, but was shown several ideas of varying cost. Once a decision was made an approximate pick up date was provided. While a little longer than other places I have used the quality of the work is definitely worth the wait. J & J are perfectionists from start to finish, even to the wrapping of the end product to ensure safe passage home. My artwork was handled with careful respect at each stage. Their 3 step process : initial consult; review of suggested materials; and final pick up meeting was as unique as their offerings. This is a very special business operated by two highly skilled artisans. Both were an absolute pleasure to work with,

Being a photographer I know how ridiculous the price of framing can be. I do a lot of my own so…read moreunderstand the labor that goes into framing is largely hidden. There is a lot of measuring, measuring again, precise cutting, fitting and the need to conserve expensive materials. The materials are expensive because they are created to be beautiful and archival. Both the matting and the glass come in many grades. Glass is tricky to cut, unforgiving and dangerous. I do not like to cut glass so I had need for glass during the summer for a project I was working on. I called everywhere and actually got the best estimates here. I had always figured Los Altos businesses would be on the high end. Even Michaels was more, Great American was so high it was laughable. Fast Frame were friendly and careful and on time. I returned many times for this project. I will go back. ~TEU

We waited several minutes and then a man came out of a back room to see what we wanted. We were told we had to have an appointment and that we could return at 5PM. I'm 90 years old and had driven from Saratoga to Los Altos so I said I would not return. There was no indication anywhere that an appointment was needed and driving the freeway is difficult, especially at rush hour. I would not recommend this business as they don't seem to value customers.
