The San Bruno Framing Difference
One Craftsman. One Client. One Perfect Frame.
Walk into most framing shops and you’ll get a catalog and a price list. Walk into San Bruno Framing and you’ll sit down with Omar Soto — the craftsman who will actually build your frame — to design a presentation that does justice to the piece and the space it lives in.
Every frame is hand-cut, every mat hand-measured, every piece assembled by one person who knows your name and your art. We use only archival-quality materials because the things worth framing are the things worth protecting.
- You work directly with the person building your frame
- Archival, acid-free materials on every project — no shortcuts
- Conservation & UV-protective options for irreplaceable works
- Pickup, delivery & installation across the Peninsula
- Interior designer trade program with volume pricing

Everything You Want to Know Before You Walk In
Custom framing typically ranges from $150 to $800+ depending on frame material, glass type, matting, and the size of your piece. Conservation and museum-quality framing for valuable works will be at the higher end. We provide free, no-obligation quotes — bring your piece in or call us and we'll give you an honest estimate.
Most projects are completed within 7 to 10 business days. Rush orders may be available — call us to discuss your timeline. We'll always give you a clear completion date when you drop off your piece.
Conservation framing uses acid-free, archival-quality materials and UV-protective glazing to prevent deterioration, fading, and discoloration over time. It's recommended for original artwork, valuable prints, photographs, and anything irreplaceable. Standard framing uses quality materials but doesn't offer the same long-term preservation.
Absolutely. We specialize in custom solutions for oversized paintings, panoramic photographs, irregular shapes, and dimensional pieces. There's no standard size limit — bring it in or send us the dimensions and we'll work out the best approach.
We offer standard clear glass, non-glare glass (reduces reflections), and museum-grade UV-protective glass (blocks 99% of UV rays). For valuable or light-sensitive pieces, we strongly recommend UV-protective glazing. We'll help you choose the right option during your consultation.
