Attended the grand re-opening event and it was absolutely spectacular! It was such a treat to see beautiful artwork on display from local artists, a great way to celebrate community talent. The event was catered by Our Green Affair Café, and everything was delicious and fresh. A special moment was when members of the Chamber of Commerce presented Tom with a plaque and gathered for the official ribbon cutting. You could really feel the support and excitement in the air. So glad I got to be a part of it! read more

Pricing is very reasonable. Always a pleasure! read more

I had an unbelievable experience working with Andre and his staff at The Frame Shop in Solana Beach. My art was being presented near the coast where moisture was my main concern and their expertise with matting and sealing my frames made all the difference! I feel so confident about my work with The Frame Shop's level of detail and attention. The amount of customization they offer is unmatched in the area; if you have art that is special to you this is the place to take it. Thank you Frame Shop! read more

The Frame Shop - 20 framed prints with professional matting and seals. - Framing Near Me - Solana Beach, California

Andre has done two pieces for me now. Both turned out great. Then I gave him a project that was way out of the box. He diligently put in the effort, but ultimately didn't move forward because he didn't want to NOT deliver. I appreciate that. I'll be taking all my important stuff here. read more

The Frame Shop - Baja map I had framed - Framing Near Me - Solana Beach, California

I have been coming to this store for about 15 years. Today was actually my first time back in quite a number of years but they treated me as if I come there every week. It's conveniently located in a moderate sized strip mall with grocery store and some nice places to eat so if you have other errands to run, this is a good place to come. And parking is plentiful. When you walk in right away you are taken by all the examples of frames they have available. I don't think I've ever seen a selection quite this large. And there are many pieces on display they have completed that are awaiting pickup so you can actually see some of their work. Patrick is incredibly helpful and so easy to work with. I brought in a piece I had framed more than 10 years ago and was looking to do the exact same frame and matting with a new piece. I had been to a few other shops and none could match what I was looking for. I don't know why I tried other stores when I should have just come here first. Much to my surprise, even though I hadn't been in the store for more than 10 years, Patrick was able to pull me up on their computer and had a record of all of my previous purchases. A phone call later to check and sure enough, they had the materials to do the framing job I wanted. So simple! He even had all the measurements from the previous job. I brought in an additional piece and he was able to write that one up as well in just a matter of minutes. And as if that wasn't enough, I brought in a piece they had done before just to show them exactly what I wanted. The backing had come off and Patrick offered to repair it and he did so right on the spot. This was before he even looked up my file on the computer. He actually did it while he was on the phone checking for the frame material I wanted. When he brought it back to me, the backing was perfectly in place again and even with new hanging wire. Last, I will say you just can't beat the quality of service they provide along with the very reasonable price! I've tried other frame shops and all I can say is "why?" The availability, timeliness of their work, quality of the work and the personal treatment. I can't imagine going anywhere else ever again. If you have any framing needs, you need to let Patrick take care of you. read more

Patty is fantastic! 5 stars all around: friendly, knowledgeable, artful and a pleasure to work with. A vast selection of frames and high quality glass all enhance my precious photos, beloved art and sports memorabilia. And thanks to the bright sign out front, the Frame Shop is easy to find! read more

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience at The Frame Shop! Tom cut the exact piece of glass to fit my frame that had shattered - a frame that was not only challenging to put back together, but also very meaningful. Tom and Patti are warm, kind, and thoughtful. They have solutions to your problems and really care about serving their customers. My twin sister and I are going back to get our graduate school diplomas framed and we can't wait to see what the final product will look like! If you are looking for anything involving framing, The Frame Shop is the place to go! You will be thrilled with your experience there. read more

They work fast and doing really good job. My friend recommended that store. I feel that the right place if you need frame. read more

The folks at the Frame Shop did a fantastic job framing these two Star Wars pieces for my fiancé's birthday. They're practicing safety precautions in light of COVID-19.

This place is a hidden gem! I had a guest room to put together for the holidays and needed some artwork framed on the fly. Tom was very knowledgeable and helpful and I was able to walk away with two pieces he helped to frame and mat. He even helped me protect my other art pieces I wasn't able to frame right away by providing me with the proper storage. I love that this is also a local business. If you are looking for a place that will provide the highest care in framing your keepsakes, photos, and art work this is the place to go! I'll definitely will be back. read more

This review is so overdue, but equally well deserved. Tom is brilliant at working with art and finding creative solutions to fit any need. I've used them for numerous pieces, some valuable, and the work is always pristine. Tom is eager to please and is a problem solver. You will not be disappointed! You can trust them to do a wonderful job with care and attention. A real gem! read more

5 stars is not enough for the excellent service, exceptional quality, beautiful product. Thank your for a wonderful experience! Eileen Darcy read more

I have had several custom framing projects this year and had each done at this location. The assistance and guidance which I received from Patrick was excellent. His suggestions were spot on and his service excellent. I strongly recommend you give this store a try. Michael F read more

Tom and team were fantastic. I called asking about framing, forward a picture where quality was not the best, and not only did they enhance...they added better glass. They not only completed work same day, they had a wonderful attitude, and spirit of what business is about to serve your customers. Thank You read more

I was refered to Patrick at Fast Frame by my boss who had been really happy with the framing he had done there. I am so glad he did! I had some collectible Johnny Cash pieces, and I wanted a shadow box made. Patrick had great ideas on how to make something cool befitting the Man in Black! I am thrilled on how it turned out! The quality exceeds my expecations.It is elegant yet very cool! I was surprised that I was able to get it done for less than I had been quoted at other frame shops. I feel very comfortable refering FastFrame to my friends and family! read more

Look no further. Everything you read about this location and its excellent service is TRUE! Patrick really IS as amazing as the other reviews say. I was stunned by the quality of the piece he did for me. It's gorgeous! I think it's important to dispel any ideas you might have about "FastFrame" and the level of frame quality. There are amazing materials and choices at this location. While there are certainly many affordable options, there are also high-end options. Most of all, the service Patrick provides will keep me coming back. read more

Absolutely EXCELLENT service and workmanship! I needed three triple matted newspaper articles for the UCLA coaches. Tom went above and beyond to rush the job in a day and they are PERFECT!!! Super friendly and over the top accommodating!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

I took in a couple old time sillouettes of my husband and his brother when they were little boys. Patrick picked out some beautiful frames for me with a really unique suede matting. It matched the worn paper beautifully. Patrick was so kind and friendly and really gave me such wonderful personal service that is very hard to find at the big retailers. It really feels good to support your local business when they really provide excellent service. Thank you! read more

I work for a large corporation in San Diego. We've been working with Patrick for a long time but recently, he's been working on a framing project for us, and he's been AMAZING!!! I cannot say enough good thing about how great Fastframe is. Patrick takes each and every project and treats it like it's going on his own wall. Thank you thank you thank you Patrick!!! We could not do this without you!!! read more

Patrick is AMAZING! I needed a frame for a Christmas gift that was 5' wide by 3.5' high, and of course I waited until the VERY last minute! If you've ever tried to find that size frame quickly, you know it is almost impossible, unless you are taken care of by Patrick! He had my frame built and my picture framed within 3 days, right when I needed it for Christmas. I couldn't have been more impressed with his service and quality! Thank you so much Patrick! read more

What a great little shop! Since Aaron Brothers closed I needed just a simple mat for a photo and not only did they have what I needed, they cut it right there and it was free of charge! Great service, I will be back with anything else I need framed read more

I've had several different pieces of artwork framed by Patrick, and we've been very happy with all of them. The prices are fair, the work is great, and Patrick is fantastic. Highly recommended. read more

Fast Frames in Solana Beach near the Samurai restaurant across from We R Fabrics is a great and very reasonable place. The people, including the owner "Tom" are exceptionally nice, friendly and helpful and the prices are competitive. I highly recommend it for your framing needs of any type. read more

Tom the owner and his wife have an eye for design. They helped me design a frame for a large art piece that had been previously poorly framed at an online source. Tom took the initiative to help me lug the piece out of the car. If you are looking for a quality framer with a knack for design this is the place for you. read more

1/17/2018 Third Update. Raised it to five stars. Wife loves the work and we are very very happy and I may have been a little harsh the first time seven years ago My second Went back for a second try and they are much better then my first visit. I think I got the summer replacement several years ago. My fist review is this: I normally go to Frame Design and Gallery in the Albertson's center on Via De La Valle, but tried these folks once. Yes they were less expensive by a few dollars but the work was just not the same. It was OK, but when you are dealing with custom art work that you have paid top dollar for, why settle for less then the best. The color selection on the art was just not as vibrent as the art work I have had done at Frame Design. read more

The name deterred me a bit at first. Fastframe sounds like Aaron Bros little sister, and I've had some really bad experiences with them! One day when I was shopping at Vons, I decided to take a peek at the shop and was pleasantly surprised to find that the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful! Before they had even seen my artwork they made me feel I was making the best decision by entrusting my framing to them! The owner (new I'm told) Patrick made sure he introduced himself to me and wanted me to be sure to recognize that the store is undergoing some MAJOR changes in the upcoming months. I'm already liking what I see! When I returned to pick up my finished piece (in just a week!) I was floored! The design was stunning and the piece looks perfect in my home. Before going to Fastframe I had no idea the options available (who knew choosing a certain kind of glass could change the entire look and feel of the art!) to me and I'll definitely be returning as soon as I have something to frame! read more

The Frame Shop - San Diego Chargers Shadowbox - Framing Near Me - Solana Beach, California

I would not choose this place for your framing needs. The prices are higher (read inflated) than you can find at other places. The framing is not "fast" (can take up to a month) and the proprietor will throw out your old frame unless you remember to ask him to save it. read more

Patrick is wonderful,extremely knowledgeable,custom,went out of his way and well priced. He more than earned all my future framing.

I wanted to write this Yelp review to let people know how impressed I was with Patrick's service at Fast Frame. I really look for, appreciate, and try to reward great customer service whenever I receive it. Patrick has definitely earned my business with quick efficient service. He also has a pretty incredible selection of frame samples. Thanks Patrick, see you soon. read more

I just had the best experience with Patrick at FastFrame. He is the owner and an all around great person. I was in a bind and needed a custom frame within 24 hours. Not only did Patrick come through but his work was outstanding. I am so impressed with FastFrame Solana Beach I have recommended them to all of my friends and colleagues. read more

This is a great find. Patrick the owner is super friendly and creative. He does beautiful work. There is a good selection of frames and so you are sure to find what you want. I love how easy and alive this shop is -- it makes you want to get more stuff framed! read more

I work with a large private art collection in Los Angeles and frequently frame artwork in expensive, museum-quality frames. In my personal life, however, I don't have this luxury. Patrick was able to help me select mouldings that satisfied a high standard, yet stay within my budget. read more
