About San Bruno Framing
Founded by Omar Soto with a simple belief: the frame should enhance the artwork, never compete with it. Discover the craftsmanship, materials, and personal service behind every piece we frame.
Our Story
Craftsmanship With Intention
Every frame tells a story — and every story deserves to be presented with intention. Omar Soto founded San Bruno Framing with a simple belief: the frame should enhance the artwork, never compete with it. What started as a passion for craftsmanship has grown into the Peninsula’s trusted source for museum-quality custom framing.
Our approach begins with listening. Every project starts with a one-on-one consultation where we learn about the piece, the space it will live in, and the story behind it. From there, we guide you through hundreds of moulding profiles, mat colors, and glazing options — selecting the combination that elevates your artwork while complementing your environment.
We use only the finest materials: solid-wood and hand-finished mouldings, acid-free and conservation-grade mats, UV-protective glazing that shields your art from fading and deterioration. Every joint is mitered by hand, every mat cut with precision, and every piece assembled with the care it deserves. There are no shortcuts in our studio.
Whether you are framing a child’s first drawing, a signed limited-edition print, or an irreplaceable family heirloom, we treat every piece as if it were our own. That personal commitment is why interior designers, collectors, galleries, and homeowners across the San Francisco Peninsula continue to trust San Bruno Framing with the things that matter most.
What Drives Us
Our Values
Craftsmanship
Every joint mitered, every mat cut, every piece assembled by hand. We believe that precision and patience are the foundation of framing that stands the test of time.
Preservation
Archival materials and conservation methods that protect your art for generations. We use acid-free, UV-filtering, and reversible techniques that meet museum standards.
Personal Service
One-on-one consultations — because every piece and every client is unique. We take the time to understand your vision before we pick up a single tool.
