Our Story

Building frames in Costa Mesa since 2002.

Best Framing has called Costa Mesa home since 2002. When Medi and Kristen took ownership in 2015, the vision expanded beyond traditional custom framing: bringing craftsmanship, technology, printing, fabrication and installation together under one roof. Today, that vision is carried forward by a team with more than 200 years of combined experience, serving everything from a single treasured piece to complex projects for artists, designers and businesses.

“The team was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process… You can really tell they care about quality and treat every project with professionalism and care.”
SC Carts, Inc. Google review, June 2026

The questions people ask at the counter, answered.

From what can be framed and choosing the right glass to mounting jerseys, printing artwork and protecting the pieces that matter, we answer the questions our customers ask us every day.

Before you come in

The things people ask at the counter.

Do I need an appointment?

No. Walk in and work with the design team at the counter, Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm. Booking is an option, never a requirement. Framing a three-dimensional object is designed in person, so bring that one to us.

What do I need to bring?

All you need is your art. It can be physical, digital, or still an idea. At the counter you hold real mouldings, mats and glazing against the piece rather than picking from swatches on a screen.

How long does custom framing take?

Custom mirrors are typically ready for pickup within two weeks, and we confirm the date when you order. Custom framing depends on the piece, and the turnaround is quoted when we design it with you at the counter.

What can you actually make?

Custom framing, fine-art and giclée printing, scanning up to 600 dpi, signs and displays, custom mirrors, installation, artist fulfillment, delivery and pickup. Scanning, printing, framing, milling, mounting and crating all happen in the same building.

Where are you?

1671 Placentia Avenue, Costa Mesa, CA 92627. A 10,000 square foot showroom and production facility on the west side of Costa Mesa, with the design counter at the front.

Do you deliver and install?

Yes. Delivery and pickup in and around Orange County for work we have produced, and our crew installs art and mirrors. Longer-distance orders are packed and shipped according to their size and handling needs, with a custom wood crate for large or delicate pieces.

What if there is a problem with my order?

Everything is cut to size and specially ordered. If there is an issue with your order, contact our team so we can review it and discuss the next steps.
