“I love the framing from Jen and Rex.  Such quality, simplicity and perfect for my original art works. 5 stars.” Laura 2023

Laura Stratton Artist Beautiful framing

I give Coastal Framing and Design a full 5 stars. My beautiful Nepalese hand painted mandala is over sized, not square and fragile. I had consulted with 2 other framers who were not willing to touch it and then I had the good fortune to discover Coastal Framing and Design. I loved their “can do” attitude and the finished job is magnificent! I’m thrilled! Jen and Rex are lovely and very well priced. Super highly recommend.

Melanie Clifford 5 stars
