We discovered this little gem totally by accident while driving home from Michaels, whose framed selection kind of disappointed us. We saw the sign from the freeway and pulled over. The owner, whose name escapes me at the moment, was so pleasant and clearly skilled from the examples we saw around the store. His prices were actually better than Michael's for what seem to be a higher quality output that we have loved on our wall for a few years. Highly recommended and attending to use him again read more

I was in distress because the wire on the back of one my paintings came undone hanging over my mantle and smashed a bunch of my stuff, I was upset. Called The Frame Station, Tom answered, couldn't be nicer, came right down, he fixed it, no charge. This guy is a gem. This is why mom and pop shops are 1000x more important than corporate.

The Frame Station - Framed all these to create a ancestor wall - Framing Near Me - San Diego, California

Tom is the man! I came here based on the yelp reviews and have had three projects (a total of 7 frames). He and his wife also raise puppies for the disabled so if you're a dog person, you may run into a sweet white lab while you're there. Tom has every frame under the sun to choose from. He's collaborative in his suggestions to meet client needs and works on very reasonable timelines. I love supporting local businesses, and this is one I highly recommend! read more

Last year I was Flyfishing on the Yuba River for Shad. My friend is a Gyotaku artist so I brought back a fish to be printed. Gyotaku is an ancient Japanese art form using ink, made from charcoal and water, put onto the fish then transferred to paper creating a print of the fish. I brought the print over to the Frame Station on the recommendation of a friend. They did not disappoint. I brought the print in and the owner made suggestions and told us what would work and what would not work. We went with his advice. I couldn't believe how beautifully the framing and the border accented the print. It was actually stunning. I highly recommend the Frame Station read more

We had a large painting framed by Tom and for some reason we did not use anti glare glass, after a year we were unhappy that the glare was so bad you couldn't make out the art. I contacted Tom and he said bring the art back and he changed out the glass for us to anti glare and what a huge difference it made. It's great to deal with a company that stands behind their work. I will be back and send anyone who needs framing to the Frame Station. read more

Tom is very nice, very knowledgeable, friendly and he goes the extra mile, I'm very happy with the work he did to frame my antique map. A+

I am absolutely thrilled by how my 4 prints look in their custom frames. The Frame Station is a superior establishment that offers quality service through their product and customer care. Their staff was incredibly friendly and was so helpful when it came to aiding me in choosing which frames to go with. Their prices are competitive with big name retailers (Michael's, The Aaron Brothers etc.) but with the quaint hospitality that only a small mom and pop business can provide. BUY LOCAL and support small business, go to The Frame Station for all your framing needs. You won't be dissappointed! read more

The Frame Station - I am beyond thrilled with how my prints turned out. The frames are unique and add so much character to my walls. - Framing Near Me - San Diego, California

I have been frequenting the frame station for many years. Nearly always, I just give them a basic idea of what I want or need and they always come back with a far better product than I hoped for. Five stars for both workmanship (can I use that word?) and five more for artistry. I am a very satisfied long-term customer and always will be. Retired Judge Larry Stirling read more

It is a great fortune that I am so close to this shop. The staff is amazing, and I used to love to watch their service dog smile at me as I plucked frame pieces from the wall. The service is very predictable- terse yet knowledgeable and comforting. I have been here for wedding/funeral and everything in between. The only shop I care for most is Once Upon a Frame, but it is all the way up in Cedros. This is second best to the most impressive shop Ive seen. Much worth the extra price from Arron Bros and other chains. read more

I am a fine art photographer and have been a regular customer for over 15 years. My work requires professional museum standard framing. The Frame Station offers the most extensive selections of mouldings to be found, outstanding customer service, lots of knowledge and affordable prices. They do beautiful work! Highly recommended. read more

I would highly recommend The Frame Station to anyone who wants excellent attention to detail, kind, thoughtful people to work with, and impeccable service. We are lucky to have such a gem nestled in Mission Hills, and it is worth it to come here from all parts of San Diego for anything from full framing service to assistance with prints or reframing artwork. I am an artist and very appreciative of their professional advice and assistance in making my artwork looks its best. read more

Tom and his team do an amazing job with our most treasured art and family photos. The Frame Station shop also does an amazing job of helping you choose what will look best with your artwork. Often, I just tell them to put together what they think is best. Their prices are reasonable and their service is top notch! It is also a locally owned and managed small business! read more

Got two Alphonse Mucha prints framed here. Felt a bit expensive but I'm very happy with the end result. The prints looked like they could be from a museum. They gave me good recommendations for the framing. Good place if you have that special painting or print you want to enhance. read more

I am really happy with the work these folks did for me. They are very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Will definitely return.

Great little frame kiosk that will make all your framing needs so easily achievable. Everything is straightforwardly displayed in front of you and due to the smallness of this little rotunda, you won't waste too much time picking the right candidate. read more

I have had several projects framed over the years, and have always been impressed by the Frame Station's attention to detail and excellent customer service. Tom, the owner, makes you feel like you are the most important customer he has - a rare find. The fact that his work is also first-rate is an added bonus. The only drawback about this place is its tucked-away location, a little tricky to access, but well worth the drive. read more

This place is awesome! There is no reason why someone should trust a Michael's or Aaron Brothers when the Frame Station keeps your art in-house at all times and has very competitive prices. I will never go anywhere but here from now on. read more

They did a great job and super helpful picking out colors/frame styles to match our decor.

Fantastic service. I went in with a rush job that I didn't think I would be able to finish before a birthday party. The owner totally took care of me, got the job done quickly and beautifully! I'll be going back read more

Helpful people with a good "eye" for what works, and this framed print arrived ahead of time - it was a birthday present.

I love the Frame Station. Tom, the owner along with Gloria and Robin long time framers - all have an excellent eye for putting a beautiful custom framing job together. They are creative and artistic and can point you in the right direction if you are unsure about design, color combinations or are feeling overwhelmed with frame choices! This is the sort of small business that does things right - they are very nice people who care about the quality of their product, the service and craftsmanship is excellent. read more

This place does amazing work. I bring everything here because left to my own devices, I'd frame everything in black with a white mat and then wonder why it looks bad. They do a great job of matching the colors and style of a piece to the right mat and frame. I even brought in four mismatched antique prints once, all on different paper, with different inks and yellowing, and they found mat colors and a frame style that complemented all of them and makes them look like a real set. It's not cheap, but it makes all the difference for a piece you're going to have hanging in your home or office for years to come. read more

Amazing service! Amazing frames! There are so many frames to choose from. You can find any style and color you want. I got a frame made for a Christmas gift and it was beautiful. I couldn't ask for a better frame. I will defiantly be going back. read more

Ive had many things framed at the Frame Station and the great thing about them is that Tom is a real artist with selecting the perfect frame and matting for whatever I bring in. His suggestions turn my photos and pictures into works of art. read more

I purchased four prints by my favorite artist and wanted to be sure they were nicely framed and protected by sun-resistant glass. The Frame Station was a great choice and I recommend it highly to anyone! There is a great selection of different frames and mat choices ~ while I ended up putting three of my pieces in pretty simple black frames, I wanted something more unique for the fourth and ended up with a perfect purple frame that complements the color of the artwork. The work is impeccable, the cost is very competitive, and the people are great! Top choice!! read more

I went to the Frame Station this week with a piece that I needed framed for an art show at my church. When I explained to Tom that I had a deadline he said he would get it done as soon as possible. Well, not only did he call me THE NEXT DAY to say it was done, it was an absolutely beautiful job! You can't go wrong with the Frame Station!! read more
