Bay Frames

Mario was extremely helpful and the turnaround on completing the framing was very quick. Good price and great quality work. Will definitely continue to use Mario’s service for all my framing needs.

I have been coming here for a long time and all I can tell you if you have anything that you would like to have framed or have a custom framework made this is the place. These guys are on time there prices are unbeatable in the bay. The also have the best selection of colors. Go and have your prints framed. Cheers

Bay Frames hands down is by far the best framing shop in and around the Bay Area. Granted the craftsmanship and quality are A+++, but the customer service is A+++++++++++. Long story short, I needed a to have two pictures framed in one day, Bay Frames made it happen and did a fantastic job. This will be my go to frame shop for all my framing needs.
P. S.The owner and his wife are awesome and dedicated at what they do!

I am so impressed with Bay Frames! I had a large newspaper comic page with a 1995 Calvin & Hobbes comic on it. The paper was creased and the edges hadn’t been cut perfectly straight. I’m a huge fan of the comic so I wanted it framed anyway. When I consulted with Mario, he listened to what I wanted and promised that he would try his best to get the creases smoothed out. He made recommendations and was respectful of my limited budget. After about a week and a half, I picked up the framed comic and it is gorgeous! I can’t believe how perfect it is. All the creases are completely gone, you can’t tell it was folded in a book for years! I definitely gave Mario something difficult to frame and he turned it into a piece that I can prominently display in my home. Thank you!

Looking for reasonable yet quality finish. Then YES… Bay Frames should be your go to shop. No doubt in that. I have waited nearly 2 years to find a local framer to frame my art works. Bay frames has a decent collection of frames, matting and glass choices. To top it, Mario is very professional and tries to read our interests. His finished work is spotless and right on time. When I say right on time, it is 4 pieces of art work framed in 10 days. I highly recommend the framer.

I’ve been coming here for years. Mario is great; easy-​going and very helpful. The quality is superb, and the prices are very affordable. Don’t waste your money on off-​the-​shelf frames; get a custom frame for a very reasonable price.
Worth the drive from San Francisco (where you’ll pay an arm and a leg). Highly recommended!

Best framing in the bay! I come all the way from Oakland to get my paintings framed. Prices are great, framing is always done beautifully, and Mario is so helpful and often helps me pick out the best frame. I trust him with all my framing and even though the drive is long, I won’t go anywhere else. I’m happy and my collectors are always happy! It’s no surprise Bay Frames has such good reviews.

Awesome! This place was great! I had one 3’x5’ and 4 12“x36″ canvas oil paintings gallery stretched and wrap by them and they came out beautifully! Mario assured it would be done with a week and a half and it was on point. I highly recommend this place and working with Mario. So easy to work with and they have the best prices! See my pix… they came out AWESOME!

We found Bay Frames as a result of a Unilocal search. To get two customized framed mirrors, we worked with Mario, who helped us get the dimensions right and select the appropriate width for the frame. He and his team fabricated the product quickly, and personally delivered and installed the mirrors very professionally. A pleasure to work with. Totally reliable on timing. Excellent customer rapport and service. And we can assure you, after looking for stock product from the brand name retailers, quite affordable. Highly recommend.

Very nice to deal with. Work done in the time promised. Good prices.

I found Bay Frames on Unilocal due to good reviews. I came here to get a glass replacement for an expensive frame we bought overseas that broke during shipment.
Bay frames have variety of options for photo frames and glasses at very good and affordable price.
The person was extremely warm and helpful. He suggested an affordable glass solution which saved me big $$. The frame was done on the promised date!
He did a good quality glass replacement (without damaging the frame) and I would definitely recommend as well come here again in future.

I needed a large custom framed mirror for my newly remodeled bathroom and knew just where to go. I asked Mario for his opinion about a mirror 65×30. Mario suggested 65×35. When I got it home, Mario was right. I should have gone larger. Don’t get me wrong the mirror looks GREAT! I just should have listened.
Mario knows his stuff. No sales tactics, no gimmicks. When you do go, plan to stay for awhile, there is a great selection of frames.
I can’t wait to bring my World Series tickets and Sports Illustrated in for framing.

Let me start by saying that it takes a lot for me to leave a review anywhere, but when I do it’s to acknowledge great work. I took a simple picture of my father who recently passed away, printed from walgreens to be framed, and Mario (the owner) made this simple picture into a picture perfect! His work is incredible. If I could rate it more, best believe I would. Thank you Mario for an incredible piece. I look at my father every day and can’t thank you enough as u have brought a little piece of heaven into our home with your work!

Came here after reading all the great reviews. Everyone said the price was SO good I had to check. I just wanted to frame a 10×14 picture. Black frame, nothing special. I was quoted $ 70 which doesn’t seem cheap to me for such a small picture! After I asked him about the Unilocal deal I paid $ 50, which still hurt and is not a great deal for me. At least the picture came out good, there isn’t much room for error though.

Doesn’t get much better than this!
Super low prices
Super service
Don’t bother anymore with Michaels
Mario the owner will make sure you are
happy without paying an extra money!
Let’s keep small businesses in
Business!
Take your pictures here to be framed !
You will be very happy!

I had Bay Frames frame a professional certificate. I needed some help choosing and was guided through the process. The price was less than I thought and the turnaround time was very good. I am very happy with my frame.

Outstanding! Thanks Unilocal reviewers for sending me to Bay Frames. I’m totally satisfied with the two works I had framed. Mario was extremely helpful, with so many choices he actually made the choosing very easy. He has a good eye for what the finished work will look like. I was overjoyed with the results. Thank you Mario and Unilocal reviewers you hit the nail right on the head!

I just picked up 2 of my artworks that were framed at Bay Frames. Mario helped me out, he’s the best. He was very knowledgable, helpful, and had a lot of patience with my slow decision making process.
The prices were outstanding for the great quality of work they did. I can tell by the questions I asked Mario, that he knows what he’s talking about.
I live a bit of a distance away from the shop, but it was well worth the drive. I will be back.
If you are looking high quality framing, helpful staff, and great prices look no further, go to Bay Frames.

I brought in a rare signed Billy Joel poster I’d been lugging around in a plastic bag for 16 years. Mario and his wife took the time to go over options not just about framing but about how best to preserve it so it kept its value. The result was STUNNING and way better than I imagined. It’s definitely a conversation piece in my home. Totally pleased.

I’m so glad my gf found Bay Frames. Being that this was my first time getting such a massive piece of artwork framed (44×64) with an additional 2 inches added to all four corners (double framed) I was a bit skeptical. While walking into their business after talking on the phone with Mario I was flabbergasted by the endless amount of framing corners they had on display. Very overwhelming (in a good way). «Hundreds» and I mean «Hundreds» of framing corners and matting samples to choose from. With three large design tables and an attentive staff Bay Frames made my skepticism vanish in a matter of minutes. The sheer amount of options they give you it’s almost mandatory to ask questions and get a professional opinion.
I ended up doing business with Mario whom was very patient, understanding, and accommodating. Bay Frames has eight experienced framers so the turnaround from devising a game plan to pick up was extremely fast. The knowledge to expertly design any job is second to none. While most people choose a single frame I opted for a double frame (per Mario’s recommendation) to give the painting character and just that added touch to put the painting «over the top».
Bay Frames is the real deal. Not only do they frame personal portraits, pictures, paintings, and lay mats but they also have done major work for corporations such as Microsoft, Intuit, Golden State Warriors, Farmers Insurance, Hilton hotels, and Logitech to name a few. Bay Frames is a high quality Frame shop which frames up to 100 pictures daily while boxing and shipping to accounts all over the U.S. Bay Frames has been professionally framing pictures since 1990. By the mid 90’s Mario told me over 2,500 galleries in the U.S. have purchased it’s posters or limited editions. In 2003 Bay Frames added a retail gallery which provides a service area for residential and commercial framing. Prices are fair and far lower than any chain or framing shop.
Working with Mario was definitely a pleasant experience. His experience helped me quickly decide which exact look I wanted to create. I will definitely come back to Bay Frames for my next framing job.
