Visit the showroom
1671 Placentia Avenue, Costa Mesa, CA 92627. A 10,000 square foot showroom and production floor on the west side of Costa Mesa, with the design counter at the front.
Mon–Fri 10am–5pm · Sat 9am–1pm · Sun closed
Call the design team
During shop hours, straight to the people who would design the framing with you. Measurements and a photo help. A plan is not required.
Anything you would rather write reaches hello@bestframing.com.
Book an appointment
Optional. Walk-ins are always welcome. Booking simply holds a time with a designer if you would rather not wait, or if you are bringing something large or three-dimensional.
In person design consultation is required for framing 3-D objects.
Everything gets decided at the counter.
You work with the design team in front of the corner sample wall. Frames, mats and glazing you can hold up against the piece, not swatches on a screen. If you are not sure what you want, that is what the counter is for.
The corner sample wall
Corner samples, hand numbered, taken off the wall and stood against your piece with the mat and the glazing that would go with them.
What the counter can reach for
Museum-quality and UV-protective glazing, canvas stretching, shadow boxes for jerseys, textiles and objects, custom mirrors, and oversized work over 48 × 96.
If the original needs reproducing
Scanning and printing happen on the same production floor as the framing, so an original you would rather not send anywhere can be scanned, printed and framed without leaving the building.
One partner. Every part of the project.
We love working with you. If yours is a trade or a business inquiry, say so in the note at the foot of this page and it reaches the right desk. Or open an account first and start from there.
Working with the trade
Site measurements, volume framing, project management and professional installation.
Open a Pro Account
What an account changes is the pricing, the scheduling and who manages the project, not who does the work. You can also walk in and open one at the counter.
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.
