Very satisfied with the frame work I had done here. The customer service is excellent. Approximately 1 week turn around. They offer a variety of frames and sizes. Well worth the wait and the price. They are responsive over the phone. They are located in the mall behind Macys. They do great work and I highly recommend! read more

This custom frame showcases the artwork. Pat was great to work with - she's professional, knowledgeable & has an eye for detail. She patiently walked me through a range of wood options, archival matting, and museum glass until we found the perfect fit. I couldn't be happier with the results. In addition to the high-quality craftsmanship, the pricing is very fair, and the fast turnaround time was just over a week. I'll definitely be returning to have more artwork framed. Thank you so much! read more

Amazing customer service. I've been going here for years and I love supporting them. Great selection, you can see an image of what your art will look like prior to purchase and they are very honest and reasonable. I will keep coming here for all my framing needs! read more

Great work as usual from Medhat and team. I decided to get one of my own photos framed. I wanted a simple frame that was also sturdy. I also wanted some UV glass. Medhat provided me with some options and used his camera/software to show me how my photo would look with the various frames. After I made my decision, he gave me a reasonable quote, told me my order would be ready in a week (much quicker than Michael's), and took my payment. True to his word, my order was ready at the specified time. The frame looked nice and was of high quality. I love having the piece in my living room. I'm so happy to have a good custom framer in my area I'll continue to come here for my framing needs. read more

My wife and I purchased a papyrus paper picture during our recent visit to Egypt. We brought the picture in to be framed at Ra Gallery.

Many thanks for the great work! We'll be back when we find our next art piece! read more

Just picked up my newly framed canvas from RA Art and I'm impressed by the quality of work. I have a beautiful canvas that needed framing to match my contemporary decor. I googled businesses and I'm so glad I found RA Art. I walked in and showed Medhat the canvas and I told him I wanted something very modern to match my urban style home. Medhat recommended the contemporary "floater frame" and I thought it was perfect. I left the art with him and picked it up in the time he said it would be ready. What a difference! He completely lifted this wall art into another league. I highly recommend RA Art for any framing services and will definitely be coming back here again. read more

Medhat was very nice to work with and gave us a great military discount for being referred from Award Master, since they do not do framing. Got our class guidon custom framed here in about 7 days but it was promised by the 10 business day mark so to pick it up early in time for our work event beyond exceeded my expectations and I will be coming back here to get other stuff framed as well. They are located in downtown Chula Vista and it's metered street parking here so if you come during peak hours after work, just expect to circle around a little bit to find parking. They do a great job here! read more

I've tried others, but this small framing shop really outshines them all. First of all, they will sit with you, examine your project, listen to your input and offer expert suggestions, without any pressure or rush. Secondly, their hands on skills are outstanding. Each frame job reflects careful perfectionism, and attention to details. They can create stunning frames and matting for paintings, photos, jerseys, medals, and more. Finally, the prices are very reasonable and lower than most other shops. I highly recommend R A, and I'll be returning soon. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. read more

Being a 2020 graduate and having Mother's Day approaching I felt it would be appropriate to create some sort of memorabilia for my mother. I was immediately greeted with excellent customer service and felt comfortable with expressing my ideas of a gift and was guided by Medhat for a beautiful end product. There was no guessing when doing business as they are straight forward and honest. I was able to receive a customized gift for my mother before Mother's Day which my family immediately fell in love with. Thank you so much! I will be sure to be back. read more

I just had the pleasure of picking up my canvas prints. Medhat did an awesome job. I was very pleased with his knowledge of framing. I have had many many priceless photos framed professionally and Medhat is definitely one of the best of the best. He even finished my photos during this whole crazy COVID 19 epidemic. I have at least 3 more very large photos that I need framed. He IS my first choice. -Danielle read more

The owner was so kind and accommodating! My boss sent me to frame two of his family's pictures but he didn't really give me any specifics on what he wanted. The shop was able to recommend some frames they thought would look good and my boss loved their recommendations. The photos turned out beautifully! They offer really sincere service and the owner will work with your needs. Will definitely be going back for future framing needs! read more

Patricia helped us out. She was knowledgeable, kind and we are very happy with how our art turned out with the new frame. Even more, the owner went above and beyond and delivered our artwork, which was too big for our car - free of charge. Very high quality work, very reasonable prices and incredible customer service. Highly recommend this wonderful business!! read more

Different people focus on different aspects of a business to rate their experience. However, no matter what you prioritize, Ra art will not disappoint you. We had precious Persian silk rugs we wanted to frame and were advised to visit this place by a gallery sale agent. We couldn't have made a better decision. The store had a great selection of frames and Mr Medhat shared his deep knowledge to help us pick the best fit. He kindly walked us throughout the process and showed us a teaser of the final result via digitalized pictures. The outcome was outstanding and the job was completed earlier than anticipated. Ra art exceed our expectations and we have already reccomended it to family and friends. read more

Medhat completed a complex project that I had asked him to do as a gift for my Navy command. I wanted to include many coins, it was an incredibly complicated task! He took notes of which coins should go in which position, facing which way, and the colors I wanted. He used his artistic eye (with my permission) to decide on spacing, the frame, and the positioning of the photograph. I could not have imagined it would turn out this awesome. The most impressive thing of all is that he was able to complete this in a VERY short amount of time because I came to him fairly last minute... Whoops. But, Medhat was honest about how long he thought the job would take, what would look best, and kept me informed along the way. You could not work with a more genuine and caring person who truly wants nothing more than to deliver a quality product to meet your needs. Five stars and highly recommend RA Art! read more

I would like to take a moment to thank RA Art and Framing for their kindness to me during this difficult time. I used RA for the first time about 3 1/2 years ago to do framing for a gift for my husband's 80th birthday celebration. The framing was done beautifully. The owner helped with the frame selection and the matting and the gift was stunning. It hangs prominently in my husband's office. I returned this week to fix a beautiful portrait of my husband. The owner's kindness can never be fully repaid. The framing was fixed, a backing and glass were both placed on the portrait. It is secured for many years. It is quality work, and fixed with great care. I am truly grateful for your work and your kindness. read more

BEST PRICES IN SAN DIEGO!! We have been coming here for years. If you are going to compare with Michael's, you end up paying a lot more at Michael's with a cheap looking frame. Medhat knows what goes with your art and has a computer program that will show you what it will end up looking like! Love this place! read more

Went here last week to inquire on how much it will cost me of I will have customized frames on my 5 printed paintings since a friend of mine told me it will be expensive (she get hers from other framing shop). I'm amazed how Medhat really knows art and framing as he helps me to find the right mat/borders and frames for each subject I showed him. He also showed me the prices (with Discount) of each and right away I told him I will go for it. The prices is really great and reasonable! He even finished the art products earlier than he told us and they're all lovely!!! He even gave us tips on how to put it on the wall and he gave us the necessary hardware to use too. RA Art and Design really deserves the 5 star rating! Highly recommended!!! read more

Ra Art and Framing gallery - Beautiful distressed frame on double glass! I love it! - Framing Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I decided to bring in a lithograph where the glass had broken but the frame was still in tact. I was going to get a price quote from here and another place but when we walked in Patricia was so friendly and really connected to us. We talked for a while about the painting and she shared awesome story : ) We decided to bring the lithograph back the same day and didn't even bother price checking another place because i could tell the price was right and she made us feel right at home. When we brought the lithograph back we met the owner and he got all set up, he's very nice and took his time with us. We asked if the glass would be done before christmas and it was!!! When we picked up the lithograph he walked it out to the car for us and made sure it would be safe on the way home! I'd definitely recommend coming here for your framing needs!! : ) read more

Ra Art is the perfect place when you're looking for a nice gift for someone that shows you actually put some thought into it.. they can customize and create several different types of frames for anything you can think of that needs a frame... nice staff and they are always willing to give some kind of discount if you're purchasing multiple items. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to get a nice Mother's/ Father's Day gift read more

Went to get a mat for a diploma and the owners were very accommodating. Thank you very much. Great service. 5 stars

Great service and very fair pricing for the work that they do. They are also very quick and give you your pieces back on time. We have given them many different projects, including framing a mirror, large hand drawing, fabric prints and photographs. All were professionally done and the owner provided great advice. They even have a camera and software setup so that you can see your item framed before they do it ... very great and helpful seeing that instead of just corner's of frames and matting. read more

Medhat does a beautiful job! I had a family portrait framed by him as well as 7 Persian Carpets!!! Two of them were very large carpets and he did a fantastic job! I was searching everywhere to find somewhere to frame by Persian Rug and no one was comfortable doing this..especially for the larger sizes. Medhat was not only confident but kept me in the loop regarding how things were going and finished in a very timely manner. I will post photos as soon as I can. I highly recommend coming here! read more

Excellent customer service and Great work, I'm satisfied with the finished product! I'll be definitely bringing in more pictures to frame.

I was looking for a place to frame my college degree and stumbled upon Medhat's establishment. He welcomed me into his shop and was very patient with me as I am very picky when it comes to this type of stuff. He provided me with endless options to choose from and I was beyond satisfied with his quality of work. Very professional, communicates in a timely manner, the price was very reasonable for the quality of his work, and within a few days he had my frame ready for pick-up. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! read more

They have done all my framing for the past 15 years. Perhaps 30+ pieces. On one piece the art shifted inside the frame after a few years, I simply brought it in and the fixed it, no worries, no issue. Didn't even ask for the invoice, they just took care of it.... Fantastic work, incredible service. read more

If you're in downtown Chula Vista and need to get your art work or special picture framed this is the place to come.

I took some memorabilia to this store last week. I wasn't sure how they should be framed. However, Mr. Medhat was execellent with his recommendation and produced a very clean and neat work. The matting and the frame matched the piece beautifully. He was very professional, patient and kind to me. When I picked up the frame, I was amazed! The work was very professionally done for a reasonable price. I would definitely comcmk Ae again and I recommend it to my friends. read more

Very good work at a very good price. You will not leave disappointed. This shop goes that extra step to ensure your frame matches well and you are totally happy. I had a puzzle that needed mounting and half way through was told that it needed front matte glass. I was expecting some sort of extra charge but he did it for free. read more
