Wendy at Nainsook is fantastic! I had an 18 year old photo I wanted to put up, and could not be more thrilled with the stunning presentation she put together. Super easy to work with, great aesthetic approach, and just a lovely human. read more

I brought a very special commissioned portrait of my son to be framed and had exact specifications on what I wanted. They delivered!! It's perfect and the price was very fair (custom framing can get very expansive and their prices are quite reasonable). Great service and beautiful finished product! I highly recommend Nainsook! read more

More than the price or the quality of the frames, both of which are top notch, the customer service is fantastic. Nothing is perfect, and mistakes happen. And one such mistake happened with my order. After I took home my frame, I noticed that the poster inside had shifted slightly, showing the white edge of the poster that was supposed to be covered by the frame mat. I was very disappointed and thought I would have to pay to have this fixed, but upon contacting Nainsook they took care of me and fixed the issue without any badgering. A wide selection of frames, glass, and expert suggestions on frame design; these are all things you can expect here, but fantastic customer service is the reason I already had a second print framed here. If you have artwork worth more than a trip to Michael's, I would happily recommend Nainsook. I'd also recommend taking advantage of the significant new customer discount by bringing all the artwork you want to get done. Thank you to the employees that were so patient in helping me choose the materials/colors for my frame. I'm picky and also wasn't sure what I exactly wanted, but came out with a frame better than what I imagined. Know that if you're indecisive about what you want they will be there for you the entire time. read more

I highly recommend this frame shop! We had two oil paintings that were gifted to us. The paintings were removed from the canvas frames, so they had to be restretched and framed. They have an amazing selection of frames and their customer service is top notch! Our pieces came out beautifully. I used to work for one of the big retail frame shops many years ago. Nainsook's quality work is unmatched! read more

I want to commend and recommend Nainsook Framing in La Mesa, CA 91941. They always take excellent care of the customer and their needs. I found a scrawled note from my late husband in a small notebook and I asked them to frame it for me. We discussed frame, matting and price. They did an excellent job. Thank you Dan and Hayley and team. read more

I have never had anything custom framed before so I went into my experience with Nainsook ignorant to how any of it worked. Everyone was super nice and collaborative and we worked through various mats, frame types combos until we found the right one that seemed just right. It took a few weeks for the piece to be framed and I could not be happier with the result. It was worth every penny, they did an absolutely flawless job and took what is a special piece to me and elevated it in ways I didn't expect. 10/10 would recommend. They will not let you down! read more

I would highly recommend this business for future framing and art needs. The owner is friendly, helpful and did Ann amazing job helping restore my mom's painting as well as provide excellent customer service. Three cheers and five gold stars for you. read more

We've taken several pieces of art to be conserved and framed/re-framed and the results have always been exactly what we wanted. They are helpful making suggestions.

Even though I moved out of East County last July, I took my art to Nainsook to frame for my new place. They do such excellent work, I am very happy with all five pieces they worked on for me! read more

They did a great job framing my three items -- very creative suggestions for frames and matting. Friendly, professional, excellent customer service -- I highly recommend Nainsook Framing. read more

Service was great. I don't dabble in frames much so I can't speak for selection, but there was enough selection for me! Pricey, but again, I just may be naive in frame pricing. They did not disappoint with their service and quality though! Very nice ladies at the shop. read more

Craftsmanship is excellent. What stands out for me is that they stand behind their work. Guaranteed!

Dan and his team did everything possible to make sure I was completely satisfied with my framing. It is clear that they put the customer first. I would return again for any other framing/mounting needs. 5 star store, 5 star people. read more

One of the best experiences I've had in a long time! Dan and the whole team not only spent quite a bit of time with me designing the frames, but then got everything done far ahead of schedule and the artwork looks phenomenal. I can't recommend them enough - do yourself a favor and go to Nainsook!! read more

I had a very old sports program with some of the most amazing autographs in it. Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, etc. I met Dan and decided to find out what he could do for me. He laid out possibilities, and we settled on something that turned out to be wonderful. Very low pressure and knowledgeable. Highly recommended. read more

I took 3 black & white photos of my husband's father in to have framed in a collage, and Judy & Wendy were stellar in helping me sort out the best layout for the pictures. I also had a tie & air force wings to add & they did a fabulous job of piecing it all together. They made excellent suggestions while leaving the final arrangement to me. I really appreciated their expertise as well as their hospitality. It's a 'warm' business & you can tell they take a lot of pride in their work. Couldn't be happier! And I'll definitely be taking any future framing jobs to Nainsook! read more

I've said it before and I'll say it again, gotta show the love for local small businesses. First time I went in I "only" took a couple of items to test Nainsook out. Staff was friendly and patient as they went through all the options. I stuck with the basics to see how it went and then discovered the work is SO GOOD, I had to go back for the big jobs. Love how creative the artists get given my blind eye for colors. Couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Some might get sticker shock from the prices, but you get what you pay for. Top dollar for top quality. AND, they did work in a nice discount given how many items I took in. I'll be back after I save up a wittle bit more. read more

I am so grateful that I found Nainsook to frame my new artwork. When I purchased a handmade Mexican amate cutout, I struggled to envision how it should best be displayed. After reading the glowing reviews, I knew there was only one place to go. Judy and Wendy went to work gathering options for the frame and mat, expertly guiding me to the perfect combination of materials that yielded a perfect result. They were both very patient with me as we spent a great deal of time designing the piece. Some time later, they called me back in to inspect the variations between the store samples and the actual frame and mat that were delivered. When we agreed to make some adjustments and changes, their flexibility and expertise once again led to the best outcome. We are thrilled with the results, and excited to display the artwork on our wall. There is no question that I will return for my next framing project - you should too! read more

I wanted to get a shadowbox built as a gift for my father, a retired senior police officer, but was unsure of where to start. I chose Nainsook not only because of their already excellent reviews on social media, but because they were an independent and local business. I have family in the art business, and they have always emphasized how important it is to support local shops. I brought my fathers badge, picture, and a small plaque I had made into the store, and the employees were incredibly helpful with assisting me pick out the design and colors for the shadowbox. The pricing was well within reason for what I had wanted, and I was quoted a 4-6 week completion time. Just under 4 weeks later I received a call that the shadowbox was completed. I went down the next day and was overjoyed with the final product! It came out better than I could have expected, and my father loved it. I could tell the staff at Nainsook put a lot of hard work, skill, and love into the project, especially knowing how much it meant. read more

The folks at Nainsook are so helpful and kind. I had a kind of weird & difficult job, and they handled it with grace. Highly recommend!

Great place, I highly recommend! This was the first time I'd bought a piece of art directly from an artist, and I'd never gone through the process before of having a special print framed. Judy helped me feel confident right away that I had come to the right place. She treated the artwork with special care, and was patient with me as I made decisions on the choices of matte and frames. Then when it was ready for pick up, Wendy showed me the piece and took time to explain the care of the artwork, and how to handle it. She even helped carry it out to my car! I really appreciate that the team there cares deeply for art, as well as the customer service they offer to their customers. Again, I highly recommend Nainsook - and thank them for their help making my print look even more beautiful. read more

I've been having Nainsook do all of my framing for several years now and can't say enough about them. It's their personal touch that I really appreciate most. I recently took a rather large oil painting in that needed some custom hardware in order for it to sit properly in the frame moulding and they did it at no additional charge. I am thrilled with every order I have done with them. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely love this little frame shop! They were so knowledgeable! I had dried some flowers from our engagement and had a vision of displaying them alongside our engagement photos.

Very professional and high quality! Highly recommend this shop! read more

It was an "art emergency" and I needed a painting framed in about 30 hrs. Nainsook did their usual beautiful job, and even had my painting framed earlier than my deadline. Im so grateful to them for squeezing in my rush job during a time that they were already very busy. It's great to do business with a place that cares about their customers and will go "the extra mile." read more

Excellent experience framing a large photo print. They have different types of glass to reduce glare even up to museum quality, with like 4-5 different price points. They'll lay out frame samples to help you see what it would look like on your print. And they just got a large photo printer so you'll be able to have them print AND frame I think up to 3 foot wide prints. read more
