It is unusual for me to write a review for a framing shop; the only reason I'm doing it here is because Esther's frame shop is top-notch in virtually every way. Located in Chula Vista, we drive down here from downtown San Diego just because of their superior service, pricing and quality of the work. It's hard to beat this place. Framing has become extremely expensive and yet this business has been able to keep their prices reasonable while continuing to offer the best product and service! Look no further, make Esther's framing your go to frame shop and you will not regret it. read more

After skimming Google and Yelp for places that frame prints/ print copies, we noticed a Yelp reviews Esther's Framing. We called and spoke to a lady whom I believe was Esther and she politely invited us to come to the to her small showroom on Main Street to see what she had to possibly meet our needs for framing our two approximately 26 by 40 inch artwork. When we got to the showroom/ office, we found a food-sized space and many selections of frames and colors of backgrounds, along with associated liners for framing the prints. She helped us decide which were the main colors or attempt to emphasize for our artwork and we came to a decision and left the two friends with her she told us it would be probably 10-14 days before the frames prints would be ready for delivery. We paid for half of the the job then waited to see when we would see our our finished products. Sure enough, nine or 10 days later, we get a call that the prints are framed and ready for pickup. When we got to Esther's we were amazed, pleased and totally satisfied with the color combos that had been chosen based on Esther's recommendations. Again, Esther was wonderful, knows her business, and she goes out of her way for clients with attentiveness to every small detail and her keen eyes for coordinating colors to frame their precious prints. For our next prints we'll go back to Esther and will use ears and eyes to take in her recommendations. Such a great, great experience and worth every cent!! read more

Very friendly service. Highly recommend. Always positive experience. I have. Even here a few times know and come back every time

I have been getting paintings framed at Esther's Framing for many many years, and have referred friends and family. They have always provided excellent and professional work. They're very knowledgeable, and know what looks best to achieve your vision. If in doubt, they offer ideas of what would look better. The final product is always beautiful. Never have I been disappointed, and their pricing is very reasonable. read more

I recently bought a picture as a gift and was looking for a framing place that was local, and one where I could get some advice on a frame that would make the picture look nice. I went to Esther's framing because it wasn't far and had very good reviews. I'm glad I gave my business to them. Esther was very pleasant to deal with. She helped me select a very nice frame that suited the picture, and glass to go over the picture. The picture was ready in a week and it looked amazing!! I was very happy with the result and the professionalism here. Will most definately take my framing business here again. Thank you for a job well done!! The gift recipient is going to love it!! read more

I originally tried going to Michael's but there customer service was horrible. I found this place on Yelp and it was a great choice! Very professional and well priced. I had a piece of art that my father passed down to me and the nice lady who helped me lucked out a really nice frame for it. Over all great shop and I'd highly recommending to anyone. read more

Great place for framing. Family owned and they take pride in their work. They use to be in tJ.

I used to cross the border to go there. I have had mirrors, diplomas, WW1 era family photos and more framed by Rosa and Isabel. The quality is outstanding, and I love dealing with a family business! read more

Excellent service. Really excellent. Craftsmanship is top notch. I have used many different shops over the years to have artwork from my travels around the globe framed. I value my art because it reminds me of all the adventures I've had over the years. Having said that, I understand how the right frame makes all the difference in really making your artwork shine. These framers know what they are doing, and take great pride in their work. I could not be happier. Their professional opinion helped me choose the best frame to match my picture and the proper matting to make it stand out even more. The price is very fair. No complaints there. I was going to go to a framer I've used in Pacific Beach, I decided to yelp something closer to Eastlake. I am so glad I did. Yelp, you did it again! I've found my go to framers!!! read more

I'm sooo glad I found this framing shop. I recently brought them my degree certificate to get framed as I just couldn't bring myself to spend what it would cost to have it done through the University. I was thrilled when she gave me the total, which was about 75% less -- and this was using the museum, non-reflective, document preserving glass! I was just as thrilled when I picked up my order. I've used custom framing services in the past (such as at craft stores); Esther's framing is just as great of quality at much less. read more

Esther's turned peices of paper into real works of art. I have been driving around with two unframed watercolors in my car for 6 years. I have had a huge watercolor of diamondhead in storage for the same amount of time. My excuse for lugging these items around the country (literaly) is that framing is expensive I wasn't in a position to make the investment in putting $200-400 in getting these things up. Well I finally moved to SD and bought a place and the time had come for the investment. I shopped around and prices for frame, glass and mat were about $200 for the two smaller peices and $400 for the large one. Cue my friend a local. She had been going to Esther in TJ for years and was thrilled they had a location that did not require a passport. She took me down to pick up her gorgeous framed diploma (double mat, non-glare glass and wood frame for $75) and I was convinced. This place is amazing. These three peices that were ehh ok watercolors popped to life with the expert color matching they suggested on the mats. I would have been wandering around an art store for hours if I had tried to do this myself and in 30 minutes she had helped me select double matting and frames for each peice. My total for all three was under $300. They were done on time and look gorgeous,. The mats really make a huge difference in the paintings and my family (who gave me the watercolors) could not believe they were the same peices of art. My only regret is I don't have more to frame. I am taking all my diplomas and referring Esthers to all my friends. The quality is fantastic, the selection is outstanding and the price is one of the best kept secrets in San Diego. read more

I've been their client since 1996. They do wonderful work. I'm very happy they opened this branch in Chula Vista, and I am sure you won't find better quality at such reasonable prices in all of San Diego. It is a family business, operated by twins Rosa and Isabel, who learned the craft from their mother. They are patient and have excellent taste when and if you ask their opinion. Each client is special to them. They are creative and every time I go I leave with a smile, convinced whatever I framed would be good enough to hang in a galllery. read more

I found Esther's Framing Enterprises on Yelp! Excellent service and Esther was so helpful in helping me choose the best frame and matte for our wedding picture that was 27 years old! I decided to upgrade our existing frame since it was outdated and looked old. The price was fair and reasonable compared to other portraits I had framed in the downtown Chula Vista area! From now on I will go to Esther's for all my framing needs. When I picked up our framed portrait I started crying. It looked so beautiful. Thank you so much. read more

I'm so glad I found this shop! We had a few items that we had been putting off getting framed for a couple years. I've never been to a frame shop before so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I was totally just going to go to a michaels or hobby lobby and pick out a frame that looked okay but would have been cheap and not fit the pictures... then I would have ended up swapping for another cheap frame a few months or years after that. So, we decided to go for it- we went to the frame shop and picked out everything we liked and to my surprise I had a great time picking everything out. The owner is so nice and very helpful, too! Our framed pictures came out beautiful and I will definitely return! Thank you! read more

This place is great! Esther was so helpful in making our ideas for some street art from our recent trip to Italy come to life. The art now hangs at home in our dining prominently displaying our memories and matching our home vibe perfectly thanks to Esther's fabulous work! Reasonable priced and quick service! read more

I went to Esthers Frame Shop in Chula Vista for the first time at the recommendation of my designer. It was a bit far from me but I was assured it was worth it. It was! Esthers is run by twin sisters and is a old family business. I brought in about five pieces which needed framing. The service I received was excellent and the suggestions I received for my pictures was spot on. I felt I got really personal service with fair prices and no waiting. I picked up my pictures today and was delighted. I have just dropped off several additional pieces. This place is a find and they have an excellent selection of gorgeous frames. This is a true family business with fine craftsmanship. The most important thing for me was that the frame suggestions were exactly right for my prints. This is a great find. read more

If you need to have any framing done, then look no further. Best prices for great work! I've had framing for artwork, photographs and posters done at numerous places, from Michaels to different independent framers and this is by far the best! Try them, they are another gem on Main St in Chula Vista. read more

I am an artist and a few years back some of my artist friends shared this find with me. At that time we had to actually buy insurance load up our paintings and go into Mexico. Now that they have an outlet in Chula Vista it is easy to get to and she is so helpful. My frames are not only reasonable but beautiful. They do an excellent job of finishing the back and putting hanging hardware on. All the stuff I hate to do as an artist they do with ease and affordablity. By far the best find for framing in SD. For artist it is a must and for anyone who has unframed prints, degrees, paintings or pictures this is the place to get them done and start hanging them! I love Eshter's! read more

Amazing service at a great price. Very good customer service and everything I had done came out beautiful. I will definitely be using Esther's for everything from now on! read more

I have used Esther's Framing Enterprises several times. Not only are they excellent, they are helpful, efficient, speedy, and reasonably priced.nn I highly recommend them to anyone! read more

Had an odd size piece framed. Was given several options including some cost saving suggestions. The final piece looked fabulous. The price was reasonable for the final result. It's a bit out of the way but well worth driving to. Because of the distance it did take me a few months to go get it, but never felt pressured to come get it. My mom is a painter and has actually been going to Esther in TJ for years to have items framed. The work done for her always impressed me. The detail and creativity has been great. Glad there is a closer location. Worth a trip to check out! read more

This is the best framer we have been to in years. They are extremely knowledgable and are also reasonable. Great service all the way around. read more

An excellent place to get your art or anything framed, but wait time can be horrendous. Some customers feel they are the only ones being served, and take forever to make decisions about their matting and framing. Nevertheless, this place does quality work at affordable prices. read more

Went here a while back to have 7 different art pieces framed and the experience was amazing. The woman who helped me was patient and genuinely seemed to care about how I wanted the pieces to turn out. The prices are fair and they have a great selection. All of the framed works came out wonderful and I definitely will be back again! read more

I've been coming here for years. They've framed memorabilia, family photos, certificates, all sorts of things. Service is friendly and the work is of excellent quality. Plus you can't beat the prices! read more

I had a great experience! I had several pieces I acquired while living abroad and traveling and Esther made they come to life with her framing and backing. She was a true professional and I have recommended this place to many friends. The prices are very reasonable. read more

For many years past,I have had the extreme pleasure of having my framing done in Tijuana.Ihave recently had some framing work done at the Chula Vista store,and like every other work done by them has been absolutely amazing. I happened to bring the pictures into my home while a large group of women were in a meeting.The entire ladies group raved over the incredible job that the store had done. We will never go anywhere else to have our framing work done but to Esther. read more

Excellent! Esther is very helpful, kind, and patient in helping you select the best frame, art matting, and glass. Her prices are affordable too. We had three original posters framed with her. The first took one week and the second pair took a week and a half. The second pair of original posters came with authenticity certificates, which she put on the back of each frame. Very happy with her work and will certainly use her again in the future :) read more

My wife and I recently returned from two weeks in France. Of course we went through our photos to narrow the trove down to a few select ones which are lifetime memories. OK Yelpers, you have large photos which you will treasure for the rest of your lives. There is only one place to go for framing these memories which are priceless, Esther's Framing!! I was somewhat apprehensive upon arriving because there were about six photos my wife and I couldn't determine whether to frame together or separate. Isabel greeted us warmly and cleared a large space to examine our photos. We knew what we wanted on a couple of photos but then there were those six where we were lost. Isabel laid out the six photos and then began shifting them about on the table. Within a couple of minutes she had arranged a collage which was happy, vibrant and ready for framing. Isabel patiently bought out different mats and framing combinations. She expertly listens for customer thoughts while also proving her sage insights. Isabel has been framing for 25 years so she was wonderful insights! Upon departing I looked at my wife and said, "I thought this was going to be way more difficult than it was". All credit goes to Isabel and Esther's Framing! read more

I've been a satisfied customer for way over 20 years. I used to go down to Tijuana for many of those years, but since they opened the Chula Vista location, I've been going there. Isabel & Rosa are both so helpful and patient with helping me choose the best frame & mat to show the artwork to its best advantage. They have so many choices and everything is custom, so whatever size you need, they can make! They are the BEST! read more
