Frames On 3rd

I feel welcomed once I walked into the store. John was very enthusiastic and took his time to help me with the mat and frame selection. He even gave me a first time discount without me asking. The custom framing is reasonably priced and looks great! Thank you!

Rob was very knowledgeable and super nice. My frames came out amazing. I will come back here again and again.
Also easy close parking. Can’t beat that.

Nice job, at the lowest price I could find. There’s a personal element to this business, by Rob. Good local business.

So nice! We needed a wire attached to our painting and Frames on 3^rd kindly did while we waited — and for no charge. We have gotten things framed here in the past and will continue to do so!

How often is there a Unilocal average of 5 stars for any business? This one deserves it! We’ve been going here for a couple of years, since our old shop on Valencia jacked up the prices. Rob is so cool it’s hard to believe! We always just bring the art and ask him for his suggestions. He’s never steered us wrong, and has a real flair for the work. Prices are way less than other shops we’ve tried, very fair and all work beautifully done. Thanks!

These guys deserve their 5 star average! They provide fantastic service. Dana was friendly and easy to work with. He helped me choose a frame that fit my budget and looked terrific. He wasn’t pushy at all. Prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be back here for future framing needs.

I’m not a big review writer on Unilocal,but these guys warranted at least a review. I just bought a house and acquired some art work that was worthy of spending some money on to frame correctly. Frames on 3^rd did FANTASTIC work. When they opened up the butcher paper to show me what they had done, «wow» was all I could say. Framing and presentation was fantastic, quality work. And it was across a variety of formats and presentations– not just sticking a photo in a frame. And good turn around time as well. I cannot praise their workmanship enough. Incredibly happy with what they did and I would go back again and would recommend them to anyone looking to get something framed and framed right. Especially in the City, even outside of the City.

They have done numerous frame jobs for pieces featured in an annual charity auction we do and they are a pleasure to work with every year. Completely professional and the art always looks great. In fact, I totally trust their judgement over mine with respect to what looks good and doesn’t — they just have a knack for it.
They’re also great guys. Definitely worth your dime!

Super friendly, lots of choice, reasonably priced and great looking results. Dana helped me find the frames I was after both listening to what I was thinking and pointing out options. Would go back for any other framing without hesitation.

I’ve trusted them with two pieces so far. Dana has such a great eye. They’re low hasstle, not pushy on the expensive stuff, and will give you good feedback. The work is super high quality and fast.

The reviews are right — these guys know their stuff. Sometimes framing a piece of art can feel like a big commitment. You invest in something financially and emotionally when you purchase art. And to showcase that art requires another investment. We chose Frames on 3^rd because the reviews eluded a down-​to-​earth experience with quality work at a reasonable price. The last thing I want is to walk out of a frame shop feeling like my taste in art was critiqued or that I was hustled into a large purchase. What Frames on 3^rd has going for itself is the price. Their price was lower in comparison to the other shops we visited in the city. I cant honestly say the quality of work is outstanding. Some of the edges on our frame corners are not flush. We spent a good couple hours there deciding which art we wanted to frame and choosing our frames wisely. After all, it’s a reflection of our style. It was the end of the day and maybe this is out of the ordinary for this team, but it wasnt necessarily as warming experience as illustrated in other reviews. I dont doubt it takes a lot of patience to wait for someone to make these choices. But as a first time customer, I would have loved to experience that warmth and non-​critique environment others raved about. I wont give up, maybe on our next visit we’ll get that opportunity.

What can I say? Rob ~ Dyna rock! I have always been amazed at the work they do from framing antique Navajo rugs to Military goods.
I recommend frames on 3^rd they make my home look beautiful!

This place is great. I had a painting and a piece of sports memorabilia that I had to get gallery stretched and framed respectively and Robb did an incredible job. I would definitely go back with no hesistation.

I’ve been a customer of «Frames on 3^rd» for going on 6 years now. Rob and his partner are Awesome with a capital «A». Great work every time. Quality and attention to detail are top priorities when it comes to custom framing. If you have an heirloom, archival, cherished, invaluable, any 2D work you care about getting framed, do not hesitate using this great framing shop. In this world, you get what you pay for and if you value what’s behind that UV Plex, then Frames on 3^rd delivers consistently. A small San Francisco business that’s run and done right. Big thumbs up.
:-D

Love this place.
in fact i get a lot of art framed here and i have always been super happy
Great service .
Cheers Guys

This has to be the best frame shop in the city! I been coming here for a few years now after getting an extrondinary high quote at another shop for a large piece of art work. They do an amazing job, fast and cost effectively. And they are full of great tips on how to make the work out stand out to its best.
Additionally, they are incredibly awesome and gave me awesome tips for what to check out in the neighborhood: o)

Frames on 3^rd Rocks. I had my YSL poster from the de Young exhibit framed here and I found the perfect frame within moments of walking into the shop. The guy who helped me out was friendly and gave me a price breakdown so I knew exactly how much my framing options cost. I got my framed poster back promptly and I have a feeling it’s going to be around for a long time!

I had a gorgeous print made for my man’s Birthday last year. I had been stashing until the right moment.
I am lucky to live right around the corner from this GEM!
Rob did a fabulous job framing the work, and got it done WAY QUICKER then what he told me… I think almost a week early! Quite well priced.
Go for it.

Just wanted to update this. I took a painting in to be framed last week. Earlier in the day, I had been to Michael’s, the arts and crafts chain store, for an estimate on framing that same painting. With some moderate help from Michael’s, I picked out a frame I liked — and they priced it at $ 270 including tax (23×35″ painting).
But, I like Frames on 3^rd, and I definitely try to purchase local before going to a chain. So I went back to Frames on 3^rd. For starters, they had much better cheap options than Michael’s. But I wasn’t only concerned about price — I wanted a great frame. So the staff spent 15 – 20 minutes walking me through different options and throwing out suggestions. Much better than Michael’s. Finally, we picked the perfect frame, and it came out to $ 300, including tax. For a 10 percent premium, I got to support local business and get a much higher quality product and better service.

Hands down, Frames on 3^rd is the best value in San Francisco. I shopped around and their prices consistently came in 20% less than other framing stores in the City.
Rob is a great guy, who is full of humor and consistently helpful. Their framing is of the highest standard and if you don’t have a car the new 3^rd street Muni drop you right at their front door. I recommend their services fully.
