Very knowledgeable and creative staff, great selection and out of the box thinking for unique ways to present your art and memories. Local business with an eye towards the community, its staff and the customers. Highly recommended. read more

Disappointed In Service I've used this business for at least 20 years and feel my experience is noteworthy. I brought in two photos of my father to be reframed on 02/19/2022. I was called in early April indicating the frame design was no longer being made and had to choose an alternative so I went to the business which sadly did not have much of a selection but chose the only decent one I could find. I had initially been told by the owner Rob that my item would be ready by April 17th however, the time came and went and then Rob emailed me and said it would be ready the following week but the time came and went without a followup. I called on April 24th and said I would like a refund as I had already put $107. as a down payment and no longer have any trust in the company. I don't know what happened to this business as they were open during the pandemic and have had more than enough time to catch up. If not, they need to quit taking new orders. read more

Went to this store to get a custom job (frame and mat) done for my fiancé's grandfather's Purple Heart and other war medals. They helped me to design the whole thing while providing recommendations on how to cut costs where possible to fit within my budget. They also were able to get it done in the timeline needed. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be going back for all of my framing needs! read more

This is my go to place now for high quality photo printing without breaking the bank! I wanted to print some high quality photos from my wedding to put up and share with my families, and I've been disappointed too many times at Walgreen or CVS, so I did some research to see who offered high quality photo printing around. I emailed Frame up about what I want, and I got back immediate response from Fred who was kind enough to tell me about their printing options, types of paper, what they are good for and their pricing. It is definitely not as high as the other place I've looked at, and I actually went into the store to ask to look at it in person. I ended up going with Enhanced Matte paper which displays color well and as long as they are framed right away, they won't suffer from scratches. I uploaded file online and make order in an email, and my photos were ready in no time, and with proper communication from Fred about the order and pick up timeline. I LOVE the quality of the photos, great color and within my budget. Anyhow long story short, I will be printing here from now on. read more

This is totally my 'GO TO' when I need to snag a quick bday/ wedding/ whatever gift. They really do have a little something for everyone. I always walk the store clockwise. They've always got great displays, set up by theme and color, and they really take the time to make everything look great! I love coming here because their price range varies dramatically and I'm always able to find something for anybody for any occasion. They carry some of the best greeting cards in all of 'Frellard'- it's true- and their candle/ housewares/ pretty stuff in general, is abundant. While they might be a bit pricey as far as framing goes, they're on par with everyone else in this city who 'gets it and does it right'. Spend a little more on a quality piece here; it's totally worth the $.. and buy a cute little something while you're at it. They've always been nothing but nice (and helpful) in here. read more

You know how sometimes you get something in your head, and it just eats away at your soul until you do something about it? That happened to me around midnight last night when I realized I needed a Maxfield Parrish print above my couch. And yes, there are a lot of wonderful Parrish prints out there like: Daybreak http://americanart.si.edu/eyelevel/images/parrish.jpg Evening Shadows http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/HAD/375822~Evening-Shadows-Posters.jpg New Moon http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/HAD/375821~New-Moon-Posters.jpg Ok, so there are a lot of Parrish prints I like, but I think Sunrise would work best over my couch. http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/Maxfield-Parrish/Sunrise-1931-Poster-C10007940.jpeg I came in assuming that I was going to place an order for this print but he was unable to because he didn't know who owned the copyright. Fortunately, he called Innervisions (http://www.yelp.com/biz/innervisions-posters-and-framing-seattle#hrid:2JKnDhXa3c0s_zvllDKZsg/query:innervision) and they had it in stock. I love how a store will help you out by sending you somewhere else to get the product you want. There is a lot of really cool things in here and will definitely be a place I will check out when I am in Fremont. Zipzap Zubidy Bop! read more

We have gotten more than a few things framed here, more than a few pieces of art here - and also more than a few great gifts for friends & family here. Frame Up may be on the more expensive side (the missing 1 star is due to the $$$ you end up shelling out), but they know what they're doing and they definitely do it RIGHT. Did I know what kind of frame would go best with my Okkervil River flyer? No way. Did I know what kind of glass? Did I need one of those damn matte things too? I didn't know. And I didn't need to know either - the fine folks at Frame Up gave me a few great suggestions, I chose one - and voila: we had a beautifully framed print within a week. In addition to the excellent framing job, they have tons and tons of really great stuff to look at and spend money on - like fancy martini glasses, kitschy greeting cards, crafty frames - jewelry and more. Plus, the staff is always friendly and helpful. And, bonus! They had some pretty excellent hot spiced cider and cookies out for the Fremont Pub & Shopping Crawl this year. :) read more

Reading all of these reviews from a couple years ago really breaks my heart. They are all true of how Frame Up used to be! I would stop in all the time for a new fun print or to get a gift for someone or just browse around! The last time I went in, though, it seemed like almost all of the gift/decor items they used to sell aren't there anymore - it's more just a straight up frame shop. I've no doubt they still do an excellent job of framing - I'm just not in the market for custom framing than for fun little gift items. I"m assuming the economy is to blame. Stupid economy. read more

Rob , the owner was great me and my friend went there and he did a remarkable job, I love this place !! Thanks Rob.

I wanted to like this place, but the experience was not what I had in mind. I told the guy I wanted a simple frame to put my new piece in. I even saw one that was suitable for what I had, and instead I got all the reasons why it's not ideal, it should have a specific mat, etc. It didn't seem like he was interested in addressing any of the points I mentioned or heard what I was saying. And then when I made my decision to purchase, it was just awkward, like he didn't agree... I did mention I thought this made me feel a little weird. I get that there are times you go someplace to get another person's opinion, hopefully they are a professional. And then there are other times you just want what you want. Should have just waited and gone to MQF instead. read more

These guys are great! They have a wide selection of frames and are happy to spend the time with you to pick out just the right one. The employees and the owner are skilled at their trade. Had great customer service every time I've been in. I've had several custom framing jobs in the last few months, and each one came out beautifully. Will be returning! read more

After searching the city for a good place to go get a piece of art framed, and came across Frame Up Studio in Fremont. This quaint store, tucked in the "Center of the Universe" really has it all! Fun art, jewelry, gifts, and endless WALLS of frames to choose from. The staff was extremely helpful, and walked me through different framing options. I ended up going with just a simple classic black frame, but the different options were extremely tempting (just a little too pricy)! The shop had my framed art back to me in two weeks, and made sure that I liked the work they did before taking it out of the shop. Although it is on the pricier end of frame shops, it is worth it for the great work and service! read more

Only been in here a few times. The guys in there are really great, Robert specificly is an awesome guy. Every time I have had the pleasure of talking with him he has been very cool to work with. If you want great customization from a great location, and a wealth of knowledge behind their product please stop by and take a look. read more

I recently discovered Frame Up Studios. Definitely love this place! There's a huge variety of framing options that go beyond just the standard frame. Framing is affordable and high quality. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and the customer service is amazing. read more

My sister brought me back a beautiful painting on fabric from her time in Africa, which I had no idea how best to display. I really appreciate Eric taking the time to help me. This was my first time getting a piece custom framed, and I am so glad I chose Frame Up Studios! read more

I love this place! Yes, you can have your artwork framed here, but they also have tons of upscale gifts, cards, artwork, etc.

super great service! Eric was super helpful with suggestions on great mats and frame combinations that really let my pieces shine through!

Incredibly helpful and courteous. We came in just for some wire and moulding hooks and they talked through what we were hanging and made sure we knew how to do it right. All for $13.00 purchase. We plan to bring anything we want well framed to them. It was a true small town level of care and a great experience in a big city. read more

I went in today because they had some neat prints in the window display, and though I didn't end up buying anything (no wall space, and it seems silly to start decorating the insides of closets), the guy there was SO NICE. Not cheesy nice, not I'm trying to sell you stuff nice but I'll talk about you when you leave nice, but genuine, helpful and friendly. If I clear up some wall space, I'll be back-- they have some awesome frames, cute cards and a lot of Seattle art. Yay! read more

Talented framer Matt spent half an hour working with me to choose just the right framing solutions for two pieces of art I brought in. I also brought a frame of my own for one of the pieces - it was no problem at all, Matt was just as happy to spend time parsing that job even though it wasn't going to fetch as much as a custom frame job. Aside from this kind of excellent customer service, I noticed they have a great selection of ready to go frames. It's not the hugest selection I've seen, but it is well chosen. Just the good stuff. Some of the designs were unusual and not just the cookie cutter type frames you find at other places. Really great spot, I'm glad I went in! read more

Frame Up Studio did an absolutely beautiful job on a large painting I had them frame. The staff is creative and has a wonderful sense of design. They were very patient with me and helped me select a frame that I never would have selected on my own. It's a quality frame and their work was superb. Thank you! read more

If you're all about customer service, like I am, then this is your frame shop. Very friendly and helpful, a range of frame/price options and some prints. I spent too much because they were so nice, I had to reward them. read more

Fantastic store for unique gifts. I have never had anything framed here, so I can't speak for that side of things but do come here when you can't find a good gift. I spent over three hours roaming around Fremont last fall for the perfect gift to buy my best friend and thank goodness I ended up here at the end of my endeavor. I bought her an antique style button ring. It was copper with an old button on top and great small details. It looks better than it sounds. But it was perfect. Fits her personality and she adored it! They have many other fun trinkets too. So if you are at a loss... visit this place and I am sure you will find something fun. read more

I was here yesterday looking for three simple frames so I could give a few photos as gifts. The guy working was super friendly and helpful. I'll probably go back soon for a custom frame or two. I'm glad a great frame shop like this is in my neighborhood! :) read more

I have been having my art framed at this shop for the last 20 years and just dropped off more work the other day. The store is primarily a frame shop now but the selection of frames and the quality of work is unsurpassable as always. The prices were less than what I was quoted at another shop for the same piece of art but you should know, if you frame something correctly, it is a lifetime investment and this is the place to have it treated just right. Love that it has been such a fixture in the Fremont neighborhood for so many years! read more

I've used this shop for 3 pictures. One time we repaired a frame and they replaced the matt, they have really good taste and I feel that everything I've gotten there I'm happy with later. I don't feel that way about frames I've gotten elsewhere. There are slightly cheaper frames at some of the U-frame places and Daniel Smith kits, but its not my experience that there are better frames for a cheaper price. I thought I was getting some good deals at other places but when I put the pictures on the wall they are chunky or amateurish looking at the corners, or the paint rubs off. As I don't have money to frame much, I'll settle for a few nice ones. read more

My husband and I have bought frames here before and we've always been happy with our experience. But, we went there last week and were blown away by their outstanding service - I asked to buy a box to mail a frame (that I'd bought elsewhere) and he went in back and made me one out of scraps. Free of charge! Their displays are always enticing, so be prepared to not leave emptyhanded if you do stop by. read more

Stopped in today with an old photo of mine that was matted to a size that didn't fit any standard frames, and the staff here were very helpful and friendly. I was able to find exactly what I was looking for (a basic, black frame) and they cut the mat at no extra charge while I was in the store. read more

After seeing the beautiful frame jobs on Frame Up's website & displays, I was nervous that custom framing would cost an arm and a leg. They addressed my concern and gave me some lower-cost options. I was quite pleased with the result, which now hangs in my bedroom. I get to see Frame Up's good work on a daily basis. Thanks! read more
