Before that I tried many companies that offer closed corner, gold and silver leaf frames, but found that San Diego Frame offers the absolute best price for great quality and service. The low cost enabled me to figure out which ones I liked the most and then buy them in bulk in the sizes I use all the time. In addition, I often need strange custom sizes and this is the only company I've found that can accommodate those sizes with closed corner, gold and silver leaf. They have always been very nice, professional, and polite to deal with, and my orders have always arrived on time to NYC.

Kyle at The Art of Framing is truly in a league of his own. I called dozens of framing shops trying…read moreto find someone who could build a shadow box that opens. Most could not do it at all, and the ones who could were quoting an 8-12 week wait. Then I found Kyle, and the entire experience was the exact opposite of what I'd been running into. Kyle went above and beyond from the first conversation. Not only did he help me bring the vision I had to life, he elevated it. He offered thoughtful, creative ideas that made the final design even better than what I originally imagined. Between Kyle and the frame designer I worked with, they helped me create an incredible, meaningful gift for my husband, something we'll treasure for years. This shop is a gem: talented, creatively inspired, collaborative, and genuinely lovely to work with. If you're looking for a framer who can handle custom work, solve tricky challenges, and still deliver something beautiful, this is the place. I could not be happier with what they created.

I'm sitting right now having coffee in the house we recently purchased in Pacific Beach, looking at…read morethe amazing work that Rob performed for us; redoing our kitchen completely, and basically painting the whole house over a period of a week. Rob wildly exceeded both my, and my spouse's expectations. I posted three photos that basically look white and mahogany, to show you how dated our kitchen looked before Rob got involved. Then you also see the amazing transformation of the bar and kitchen with off-white cabinetry, and a dark cracked pepper paint below the bar which grounds it! I also included a few random pictures of other areas that Rob transformed. All of this work was performed for a very reasonable price, literally a third of what it would cost to go to a normal contracting firm. Rob is honest and fair and puts his heart into everything he does. He has tremendous design talent, and with it comes strong opinions which he expresses! My spouse and I (design professionals) respected that and listened sometimes and didn't at other times. We see that as part of the process. Before you have somebody come and repaint your kitchen, or other parts of your house, be aware that this is a messy process. You'll need to take stuff out of the cabinets, and be prepared for a few days to a week of chaos. Rob used a lot of painters, plastic and tape and did a great job of protecting our floors and other surfaces. Recognize that the process of painting an area is intensive, and Rob will likely throw himself into it, maybe take his shoes off and listen to music. Give him space and he will perform beautifully. On the last day he cleaned up perfectly and got any spot that made it to our floors or other surfaces. He even repaired areas based on the last painters failures! Based on this experience, I would hire Rob again, and likely will in the future for other projects. In addition to painting cabinets and walls, he can transform almost any piece of furniture, and is going to reupholster a couple chairs and a bench that we purchased. If you hire him you'll be in good hands.
