Terrific professional. We have been customers for years. If you need to select and receive a frame of any kind Scott will provide a great product. read more

Wouldn't recommend. Customer service and communication is lacking on the owner's part.

The Frame House is everything I want in a picture framing business. The first time I went there I didn't know what to expect. I took in my unframed picture hoping that I could work out a plan. As it turns out, I needn't have worried. The proprietor was extremely helpful and a good communicator. He made excellent comments about my picture and what would look good on it, but he did not insist that I do it his way. He guided me through choosing the frame materials and colors. He asked for half of the cost in advance, with the other half due when I picked it up. The quoted price was in line with what I have paid in other cities for top-of-the-line professional framing. He promised a completion date a few weeks in the future, and it was ready when I went to pick it up that day. The quality of the finished product is awesome. He even included picture-hanging hardware attached to the back, so when I got home I was quickly able to hang that picture on my living room wall. I don't have a lot of wall space -- lots of windows -- so I'm not going to be a frequent customer, but I will never look for another framing shop. This one is it. read more

Would have been a more pleasing experience if the proprietor had posted that there would be a 3% charge for using a bank card! I would have easily paid with cash but not even a verbal reminder from person talking payment. They should have been a little more considerate. read more

I've had several pieces framed here and am always very pleased with the quality of the workmanship, the level of professionalism and the variety of options Scott offers. The extra cost vs going to a place like Michael's is worth it with for the knowledgeable advice and the level of service not to mention supporting an excellent local small business! read more

What a super experience! I recently visited THE FRAME HOUSE, a local picture framing shop, and was thoroughly impressed with both the selection and service. Scott was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to help me choose the best framing options for my piece. I highly recommend THE FRAME HOUSE for anyone looking to preserve and display their cherished items. read more

If you are in North Country, and you need just about any kind of framing done, Scott's your guy! He's helped me with a ton of projects over the past few years and he's amazing! He has a large selection of frames and mat boards. He produces beautiful pieces for his customers and his prices are reasonable. Never mind Michael's! He's my guy and should be yours too!!! read more

Scott was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. His craftsmanship exceeded our expectations because he did even more than we asked for in restoring an old family shadow box filled with precious heirlooms. He completed the work before the estimated time and showed us the best way to care for and properly display it. We would highly recommend The Frame House! Thanks Scott! read more

Received really good advice from the owner on how different colored mats would alter the perception of the picture. Turned out way better than if I had been left to my own devices. Not pushy at all, but gives you all the options available. Excellent craftsmanship and it was ready sooner than expected. Will def go to again. read more

Me and my wife walked in not knowing of this place and loved the abundance of art selections and frame selections. The owner knew exactly what he was talking about, not only did he educate us on new things about frames but also googled places we could find for our unique request for a shadow box to frame our wedding bouquet. If you're on the fence about your framing needs, trust me - The Frame House is the place. read more

Scott is impeccable with his work. We brought in an antique scarf which needed an unusual approach to displaying and framing. His execution was perfect. We bring all our framing needs to him. Very convenient Frame House allocated parking make it easy to access, too. read more

This frame shop is awesome! Very knowledgeable and helpful owner with a large variety of framing options. 10 stars out five

Love this place,went in just to have poster put in frame I already owned,he took my old pic and put on back of finished frame because I mentioned it was my moms but didn't love it.That was above and beyond.So not only did he fix up my old frame with new artwork he kept my moms old pic on back. read more

Scott has helped me out several times for framing needs. He always does a beautiful job in a timely fashion. Scott even went out of his way to hang a mirror for me! Now that is what I call service. read more

I had a hard time finding some off the shelf solutions for a skateboard deck frame that could do a custom painted skateboard deck the justice it deserved. I searched all over the internet, and in the end, opted to support local business, and I'm glad that I did. I took the deck into The Frame House, had a conversation about what I was looking for, which would up being a shadow box with a mount that would make the deck appear to be floating in the frame. I paid for the work, and was told it would be done by December 2nd, but likely sooner. About a week and a half later I received a call that the work was complete, and I drove down to pick it up. EXCEEDED. ALL. EXPECTATIONS. Holy smokes - the box was beautiful, and whatever vision I had for this frame was blown away by the finished product. I can't give any higher recommendation or praise to The Frame House. If you need framing, custom or otherwise, check them out! read more

Professional and courteous service from an expert. Appreciated the education about the materials, labor and process for customer framing. I recommend unconditionally. read more

We are delighted with how Scott framed our pieces. He was able to suggest frames and mats that really draw out the colors of the art and make them pop. He also took special care to customize the mats so that the artists' signatures at the bottom of each piece of art were highlighted. Turn around was quick and the pricing is fair. Scott does amazing work and even the back of each piece is beautifully finished with hanging hardware included. read more

The Frame House - Scott is the man!! So beautiful!! - Framing Near Me - Oceanside, California

Working with Scott is great. He has a wonderful eye, and is also cognizant of how to save you money. I have gone back over and over. For example, I showed up with about 18 little animal prints I'd bought from the Friends of the Library. I wanted to get them framed to donate to the Humane Society of the San Bernardino Valley for a silent auction. Scott looked at all of them and told me that standard frames I could buy inexpensively at a thrift store or at Michael's would work, and would be less expensive than paying him to make frames. Once I had the frames, which he suggested should just be black, he matted them all with black matting, which, as he explained, would put the emphasis on the image being framed. It really worked! They all looked great! I also had some old oil paintings that were grimy and a bit damaged. Scott had the business card for Ninya Lee Greek, who does appraisals, restoration and repairs. She met me at Scott's shop, which was very handy, so I didn't have to drive to Kearney Mesa. She took them to her own store to restore them, then brought them back to Scott's in Oceanside to be re-framed, after she had repaired and cleaned the three oil paintings. The oil paintings, which were almost 100 years old, looked AMAZINGLY better! Definitely worth the price to have them professionally cleaned and repaired! Scott and Ninya both thought the frames on the two smaller oils detracted from them. They were correct! When Scott selected new frames with a reddish tone, they made the little oil paintings pop! I already liked them, but now I love them! The large oil, by a relatively well-known artist, had been framed, but the frame had disappeared while the painting was at another framer's to be cleaned. That framing business belatedly decided they couldn't clean the painting depite having held onto it for a long time (!). As for the frame, that company is supposedly still looking for it - their storage area of frames was a mess ( unlike Scott's shop, which is neat and tidy but full of cool paintings) and so I agreed to let them keep looking. In the meantime, I asked Scott to help me pick out a comparable frame that was similar to the original and missing frame. (We had a photo of it to work from.) Sure enough, Scott picked out a perfect replacement, with lines and curves that mirrored the clouds in the painting. As I said, I have been coming back to The Frame House a lot. Another piece I brought to Scott, which Ninya also appraised, had been framed by my dad in the days before acid-free materials. Luckily, Scott removed it from its non-acid-free backing before any damage was done, and also suggested a new mat color: black. Wow! The black mat, once again, made the painting look a thousand times better than the original white matting! It was amazing that just changing the matting color could make it so much more appealing. I was so thrilled that I bought another painting with a white matting, and brought it in immediately to be re-matted, knowing that the image I had admired would be even more striking with a new, darker mat. This time Scott showed me how a very dark blue, rather than a b;lack mat, would work even better. I really wish I had taken before and after photos of how these items looked before being so greatly improved by Scott's keen eye and Ninya's cleaning. But try and imagine what they looked like before -- not half as nice as now. I am going to see if I can at least post the before photos. read more

I have had the pleasure of having Scott professionally frame my autographed memorabilia for the last 2 years. He has done many pieces and every time he nails it perfectly. His craftsmanship is incredible, and he is very detail oriented. On top of all that he is as nice as they come, always communicates and is extremely helpful. read more

This place is great. I just got 3 pieces of art framed and have never been happier. The work is high quality, and the owner is very helpful. He made some great suggestions that saved me some money, too. I will be going back with some other pieces I need framed. Several of my family members have gone here with some Really treasures pieces and gotten great frames of high quality at a great price. There is also some really great art for sale. read more

Scott is just as nice as can be and very helpful. His frame selection is extensive and prices reasonable. I presented him with a challenging situation: to use two rickety vintage frames from the 1940's for old watercolors my grandmother painted in the same era. The frames need work to make them square and stable. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product! read more

Very pleased with the two different framing jobs that we had done here. One was a regular painting and the other was a creative mixed media job that owner Scott came up with using our signed memorabilia from a Hamilton play. Keep up the good work Frame House!! read more

The Frame House in Oceanside came through in a big way when I called the owner Scott from Kentucky and said, "My wife's birthday is almost here & I desperately need a framed print as her present. She is opening a new business and I have her business graphic available as a file After a couple of emails, I was presented with a choice of two frames - and they both looked fantastic! I chose one and told Scott I would be stepping off the airplane on Saturday afternoon. When my beautiful wife and I arrived home, there was a thin package underneath our doormat - containing her wonderful, beautifully framed picture! My future frames forever? The Frame House in Oceanside!!!" read more

Brought my painting in that had been rolled up in its tube and not touched for over a year after coming from Korea. Scott did an amazing job with pricing, cleaning the painting and making everything come out even more beautiful with the framing he recommended which accentuated the oil painting beyond what I though was possible. I'm very pleased with how it came out and happy I can pass this down to generations read more

I had a small mat job for Scott, but I was in no hurry. He called me a few hours later, having completed the work. It was perfect! I wish I had more work for him, as I want to see him continue as a great resource in a niche business for Oceanside. Don't hesitate to stop in with your framing needs. You won't be disappointed. read more

The Frame House - Vineyard in California - Framing Near Me - Oceanside, California

The owner is a great guy. Does very professional caring framing. I've always gotten a deal and happy with results.

Sadly, very disappointing service. We had two old paintings that needed time. There seems a lack of business creates the unfortunate need to take customers into a a high priced category that is uncomfortable and could be termed way too high. Suggestion, try another shop. read more

I wanted to reframe a momento I received from my workplace that had gotten damaged in a recent move. The Frame House took care of the project and I was really impressed with the quality and the speed of the work. There are certainly other frame shops around that may have charged less but in my experience with projects like this you get what you pay for. The day I picked up the momento I had my infant daughter and stroller with me. The owner graciously offered to carry the item to my car, which I found very thoughtful! read more
