I lost my home in the fires. I needed to frame a few things. You walk in and feel like Fred and all there are family. It's like you've known them a lifetime. They were brilliant and kind and kept the cost to affordable. Jillian helped with the best suggestion for something I was framing for my daughter. I am pleased and grateful. I highly recommend Castelli Art Framing. read more

Fred at Castelli took such thoughtful care in framing this piece, and the result is beyond perfect. The custom wood tone he selected complements the print beautifully. The depth of the frame is just right, giving the artwork space to breathe without overwhelming it. If you want your artwork treated with reverence and expert craftsmanship, Fred is your guy. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

The crew at Castelli Framing came through for us in a real big way! Custom framing isn't something I'm generally in search of but with my sons recent college graduation, I was suddenly in need of this service. I'd contacted the guys at Castelli weeks prior to my sons diploma arriving to inquire about the job and turn around time. I had complete faith and confidence that we'd move forward with them but I had no exact date when I'd have the diploma in hand. I could have ordered through the slip that came in the mail with his diploma but their turn around time was 4-6 weeks and quite frankly I had no where near that amount of time due to my sons upcoming move. As soon as it arrived and we'd seen it in person I was able to review several options and determined quickly exactly what I wanted. Girl knows what she wants! They made a few suggestions to ensure I knew I had options but I was completely set on a very masculine dark brown textured color scheme. I really wanted something that resembled many of the dozens upon dozens of frame jobs in my grandfathers home office that my son and I had grown up admiring on visits to their home. It meant a lot to me to go this route with such a special first piece that will hang in my sons home office for years to come, that one day my own grandchildren will be able to admire. The turn around time was absolutely remarkable (they must have picked up on my impatient, can't stand waiting for a single thing in life vibe), or perhaps it had a *little* to do with my selections mainly being in stock ;) From the gorgeous suede fabric matting I'd selected to the warm chestnut finish molding and museum quality non reflective glass, the final product is an absolute stunner!!! I really couldn't believe my eyes when unwrapping it, like pick my jaw up off the floor stunning. Yes! We're still very much talking about molding, mats and glass folks. This stuff looks that damn gooooooood! Since I know nothing about framing I really put my full faith and trust in Castelli to use their expertise to match my preferences and make adjustments where they deem appropriate and I couldn't be more grateful for the final product. I love it, and my son loves it! While I'm over the moon proud of my sons Summa Cum Laude distinction on his diploma I'm also very proud of selecting what has got to be hands down the BEST framing business in town. If you know me, you know I trust no one so handing over the one and only copy of my sons diploma to Castelli was something I can say I did with ease, knowing it was in great hands. As a single Mom of the past 22 years who is about to have her one and only baby move across the country my days have been a mix of overwhelming pride, joie and excitement but also dampened with sadness, Castelli really provided not only an outstanding service and beautiful job but managed to brighten my days throughout each and every interaction from start to finish with them. I'm positive this is only the beginning of my sons accolades and we will in fact return in the near future with other very special jobs. Thank you so much Castelli and every team member here whose workmanship went into creating an outstanding finished product for our family to admire for decades to come. We are immensely appreciative for you. read more

I've done business with them for years and they have always come back on time and the service is impeccable. The pricing is really competitive too. These are my go to guys for framing read more

Okay, so I just had the BEST experience ever at Castelli. I won't see the end product for another week or so, but Fred has the art of customer service DOWN. He is wonderful to work with and his pricing is amazing! I will be taking all of my art to him from now on. I will write another review when I actually get my pieces back, but I have no doubt that they know what they are doing. I will send everyone I know here as well. So happy I found this place! read more

Well, this place is amazing. Very on point with my needs. Everyone is so nice Jullian is the best!!!

The best experience coming here. The staff was lovely, the frame came out better than expected , love it !!

Never place your orders with the owner FRED at Castelli Framing in Culver City because you will have an AWFUL experience. They have extremely bad customer service, are very rude, and are completely unprofessional. I missed the most important art exhibition I had because of their delays. They do not care about the customer's requests, delivered frames with incorrect sizing, and behaved very rudely. They even fail to inform you about delivery delays in a timely manner and overcharged.!!!!! read more

Great service, prices and people! This place came highly recommended to me and I can see why.

I'm not one to leave negative reviews but my experience with Castelli sadly deserves one. Basically paid hundreds of dollars for maple when - after taking it to another framer for a new pin - he informed me that they used cheap some sort of foam/plastic with a maple-looking vinyl set on top of it. In essence, they charged me for wood and gave me plastic. The even sadder part is that for about 4 weeks I've been trying to get a hold of someone at Castelli that would fix this situation for me and leave me feeling neutral about it. But instead, I've not been called back (after numerous promises) let alone taken care of. Framing can be an art form in it itself. I respect the craft and would understand a mistake or human error. Swindling, however, I do not understand. read more

Castelli Art Framing - Framing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Took a number of prints to be framed here, at an interior designer's recommendation. They were very knowledgeable and did a fine job. Everything came out looking great. They are not the cheapest but certainly not the most expensive framers I've used. Only caveats: although I did find frames I really liked, I thought their frame and matting (color/fabric) selection was slightly smaller than what I'd seen elsewhere. Also, not open on weekends, and framing takes a while. Still, can't remember my last Framing Emergency. read more

Phenomenal, clean framing! They took care of my precious art work and are very nice. They also helped me pick out appropriate frames that matched my artwork and gave nice opinions because I'm so indecisive. Also, turnaround time was not bad either. read more

After working months on an heirloom cross stitch for my friend's wedding, I needed to find a reputable framer to finish the piece. A friend referred me to Castelli Framing and I was told they were knowledgeable in the proper framing techniques for cross stitch and needlepoint. The finished piece was completed in time for the wedding and looked beautiful! Fast forward two years to present day and my friend's marriage ended. I offered to amend my original piece to omit the offensive ex's name. My plan was to remove the cross stitch from the frame, make the necessary changes, and ship back to Castelli for reframing. Well, that ain't gonna happen... Castelli practically RUINED my cross stitch! They TAPED it! They STAPLED it! They GLUED it!!! I am not exaggerating when I say that I have seen better frame jobs done by Michaels! After several days I was able to remove the tape but not the residue. I plan to remount it myself and get a local framer to help me with the final matting and finishing, which will hopefully hide the damage. Castelli Framing may be okay for quicky frame jobs but do NOT trust them with your treasured heirloom pieces or anything of value! read more

Needed a simple job done with some old weathered frames from India. Took them in to the place, it has an inviting atmosphere both professional and laid back. 10 minutes later the job was done well and to top it off at no charge!!! Would definitely go back and also recommend it! Thank you so much! read more

Excellent quality and service, outstanding selection and reasonable pricing. If you need custom framing, look no further than Castelli's. read more

Long story short, they corrected a mistake *I* made in mount type, at no charge. The full story: In working with Sara at the shop, I confidently specified that I wanted a "float mount." After it's done and shipped to the gallery where my piece was shown, I realized that what I wanted was specifically a "raised float mount." I blame Google for having the improper term populate in top search results...but I take responsibility. I talk it over with Sara and she says, "We'll get you want you want." and offers to redo it at no additional charge, even after I offered to pay for the difference because it was my mistake in specification. Where the rubber meets the road in service is not when things go right, but when things go wrong. And Castelli certainly went above and beyond in correcting *my* mistake. I have already brought another print to them to be matte and framed, and will bring more to them in the future. read more

Top-quality, attention to detail, care and customer service - all are top-notch at this renowned framing business. No wonder so many galleries and high-end collectors swear by Castelli Framing for their framing and shipping needs! read more

Castelli Fine Art Framing is hands down the best resource in Los Angeles for printing, framing, and customer service. Fred Goldstein (the owner) along with Melissa (his daughter) give the most superb attention to their craft and to their clients. It is not a hyperbole to say that Castelli's work is pure perfection. I am a commercial/fine art photographer and needed over 20 photographs printed on aluminum and mounted for an exhibit. The sizes went from 24"x36" to 40"x60". The turnaround time was horrendous, considering the complexity of printing on aluminum. Castelli's had less than two weeks to deliver proofs, print the work, and mount it. I had serious doubts they could deliver. Fred and Melissa proved me wrong. They completed the job on time, immaculately. The compliments I received on Castelli's work were too numerous to count, and I attribute a portion of my sales to their services. Over the years I've worked with many vendors, and I have never come across one who treats every client -- from a high end art gallery to an independent artist -- with equal care and quality. I can't recommend Castelli's enough. Fred and his first-rate staff will guarantee success in any of your printing/framing needs.... read more

I've had all of my art framed here for the past three years and have had great service and top quality framing. And Fred, Sara and the team are friendly and attentive. Love this shop. read more

With my background being a meticulous art director, my standards are pretty high. The folks at Castelli came through with flying colors. Their quality and attention to detail were amazing... not to mention their excellent customer service. Too bad they're not open on the weekends. read more

I purchased two Slim Aaron pieces and needed them framed. I wanted to give them to someone I could trust with valuable pieces of art, yet reasonably priced. Castelli ended up being exactly what I was looking for. Fred did a fantastic job, was very quick in getting the pieces framed, and delivered to my home at no additional cost. I highly recommend Castelli Art Framing. read more

Castelli Art Framing - Framing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I just got a Murakami print framed here and I can't even describe how delighted I am with how it looks. I found my consultation to be very informative and am very happy with the hinging and framing work Castelli did. I've seen framed Murakami lithographs in various galleries and I feel this matches some and surpasses a great deal of others in aesthetic quality and they did a great job in taking care of a valuable limited edition signed work. I will be using them again in the future and highly recommend them if you want your art framed. read more

Love these guys. Consistently high quality work at surprisingly low prices. I always look forward to framing a new art piece with them, it's so fun to pick out the frames and the results never disappoint. read more

I am an art dealer from a different state. I called Castelli Frame to help me with a frame issue for a client who purchased from me but lived near Castelli. I did not know them but picked them from the Internet because they were not a franchise and I was hoping they would know how to handle an expensive masterwork. The girls at Castelli are knowledgeable, professional, funny, honest and frankly - the best framer company I have ever dealt with and I have dealt with framers from all over the world. I was so impressed with their workmanship and honesty I insisted on paying them extra because their bill was so small. These are real art framers and not diploma framers. If you want expertise and honesty - you can not beat the company. Love them...so impressed! read more

Castelli is perhaps the worst framer in Southern California. First, take Fred--a complete blowhard who will either ignore you completely, or talk nonsense for hours on end. Ryan, on the other hand takes no responsibility for anything and apparently just arranges delivery. Framing: Well, given 5 pieces to frame--3 had to be re-done by them twice; one a third time. The end result, one job was unusable (at a mere $680). The frame had splotches of touch up paint all over it (from incompetent framing), screws protruded out the back (so it could not be used against a surface you care about without marring it--for example, modern wood panels). When I asked for a refund of the one piece--simply ignored. This, and Castelli, are a joke. If you actually care about the end result, go somewhere else and drive right by. read more

I was given Fred's number and information by my art manger, and was told he was the best in town for framing (and printing!). I went in today, and he is honestly one of the nicest human beings I've ever met. He could not have been more helpful, and you can tell he loves what he does. I am leaving my current printer and framer and transferring all my business to FRED! AA+++++ read more

I love going here. I highly recommend Castelli. They frame tons of work for reputable galleries, museums, art spaces, and private collectors. They're also great people. Great personalities and the same people tend to work there for years. They really take care of you and share their opinions freely to help you make the best choices. For artists, they are offer some great services as well such as photographing your artwork and custom building stretcher bars and other surfaces to make art or exhibit it in interesting ways. I've gone to "cheap" places such as Aaron Brothers and Fast Frame etc to get custom framing, and Castelli offered competitive if not better prices and a great selection. read more

Fred and Doug worked with me to get a great, professional quality frame within my budget the first time and I'll be back for all my framing and mounting for as long as I'm in LA. They do work for some very big names and galleries and the quality of the work is superb. read more

As a photographer and art collector, I have worked with Castelli for several years now. Fred, Melissa and Doug are so easy to work with, very knowledgeable and their frame inventory is stellar. They are a full service shop so I can frame, pack and ship all in one spot with no hassles or running all over town. Plus, they pick up and deliver art for customers which is a HUGE convenience. The quality of the framing, pricing and turnaround time is top notch.As a former museum staffer, it is very important to me that all my artworks will stand the test of time and Castelli Art Framing does an excellent job working within my budget for archival framing. I use Castelli for all my art framing & highly recommend them. read more

Sara and Fred are knowledgeable and have taste too. I have framed family photos and art work and never have been disappointed.

I bought some frames from Aaron Brothers and tried everything to get the hanging brackets screwed in on my own. After calling every hardware and framing shop in town, I was incredibly lucky to get Sara on the phone who offered to help me. I brought six frames in, and she drilled the hardware in place for me - for free. I offered to buy the brackets and she refused. The service was so incredibly kind and generous and I don't know what I would have done without her help. I will be framing all of my art here from now on and recommending to everyone!! read more

Damaged a very expensive piece of artwork, stalled for weeks before finally telling me, took months to repair it and did not honor agreement on oversight of repair. Easily the worst retail experience I've ever had, unbelievably unprofessional. read more

I had a great experience with this shop. I came to frame my daughter's art work she won an award for and I needed it done for the next day. I did not say that since the lady said it will be done by the next day anyways. It turns out, there was a problem with the frame and they tried to reach me but I was not able to respond , and when I came to pick up the framed artwork , it was not ready. It was past 5 pm already, their closing time. The owner( I assumed), really went arm and leg to get my artwork framed when I explained the situation, and not just that , he did not charge me anything. I am very grateful, the work was very professional and I would highly recommend this store. We should try to support businesses such as this that truly have a heart for their customers. read more

This is the most professional fine art framer I have found in LA. They have successfully face mounted photographic prints for me without any issues which is incredibly difficult.
