Artistic Picture Framing was absolutely wonderful to work with! It was my and my partners first time framing something professionally, and they stood with us for at least an hour explaining the process, our options, and showing us different designs etc. I had a bit of a hard time visualizing what the final product would look like, and I genuinely couldnt be happier! Its stunning! And im thrilled that our photograph will be so well protected and beautifully displayed. We will definitely use them in the future!

I had a really great experience here. Rodolfo is so cool and personable, I had a lot of fun picking out my frame with him and designing it together. He answered all my questions, very communicative and prompt, and the final product is sooo beautiful. Framing is a somewhat pricey service in general but with that in mind the price felt very fair. Thank you!

This was my first time getting custom framing. Rodolfo changed my life. He took my print to a complete different level. It stands out so much more now and is a STATEMENT! I’m so glad that i trusted his artistic vision. Will definitely be back

He was extremely kind and it was cool and fun to watch him fix the frame. He had a few opportunities to overcharge me or make me buy a new frame but instead he fixed it, and at a great price. I will most definetely be coming back anytime I need a frame repaired.

Artistic picture framing did an amazing job! I brought in two small pieces - one was an old photo and another was a poster - and they were a huge help in figuring out what frames and mats would accent the photo best! They helped me find multiple different options and discussed some of the pros and cons with me (Im new to getting things framed so that was very helpful!) Will definitely be coming back for future framing needs :)

Artistic Picture Framing is awesome!! We brought two prints in to get framed (before covid19). The employee who helped us was super helpful, gave great advice, and was a joy to work with. When we came to pick up, there were two employees that were just awesome to chat with as they showed us the framed works to make sure we were happy. Both frames were absolutely perfect. They also spent time very carefully wrapping them up for us to take home. About four months later, both hang happily in our home looking amazing! I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Well be back next time we need something framed.

I am so grateful I chose Artistic Picture Framing for my reframing project. First off, all COVID-related precautions were taken for my visit so I felt confident the space was clean. Next came the consult. I was given two or three different options, each evaluated for their artistic merits. I hadnt even considered some of the elements he brought forward. The result was even better than I hoped for. I also got great turnaround time, which I wasnt expecting.

I have had several pieces framed here. They take a lot of time and care in helping you create something beautiful that you will cherish forever. They are true craftsmen, always friendly, and enthusiastic. They are also a family-run small business that I love to support.

Artistic Picture Framing did a beautiful job of framing a large family photo from 1912. They worked with me to choose a frame and mat, offering their expertise, then framed it masterfully. Additionally, they suggested a non-glare glass, which has really made a difference for the spot where it hangs. The framed photo gives us great pleasure and were grateful for their work.

Service exceeded my expectations! It was my first time having something professionally mounted and framed. It turned out beautifully. They helped me choose a style that really worked with the piece I had, and that worked into my budget. They were professional, courteous, and timely. Highly recommend!

Review №18

In the era of pre-covid, I took in a painting from my grandmothers art studio to be framed. Not only was it done beautifully and respectfully, but the owner went above and beyond to get it finished for me to move out of Berkeley, despite them being largely closed. This is the place to take the art that really matters to you.

I love working with Artistic Picture Framing! We went to them for the framing on a couple of different pieces for one of our past design projects and we will definitely continue to work with Artistic Picture Framing for all our future projects! They are extremely knowledgable and helpful when it comes to thoroughly explaining the different framing options as well as always completing high quality work. Paul is especially friendly and helpful and I really appreciated his insight and efficiency with his work!

I have been a loyal customer of Artistic Picture Framing for about eight years. Over this period of time I have accumulated a dozen or so beautiful pieces that I now consider art, thanks to Rodolfo and his staff. I find them to be warm and knowledgeable when it comes to bringing out the beauty in what you bring in to have framed, weather its color coordinating to selecting the right glass to in close the picture. They do great work!

Review №27

We Were Very HappyWe brought Artistic a large print of a multi-colored photo taken at the California Poppy Preserve (check it out). They showed us a substantial number of possible frame and matte combinations, helped us to make a choice and, in turn, did a very professional job of framing the picture, which presently hangs in a special spot on our living room wall. The work was not cheap, but it certainly came out very well.

Hi, I just picked up a painting that I had framed here, and I just wanted to say what an incredibly great experience I had. Drew, the framer, took me through a wide variety of options with skill and an obvious knowledge of the material, and helped me pick out a frame and a mat that would make the painting I was framing look incredible. It became a really special gift thanks to him. I don’t have a lot of experience with framing paintings, so being able to rely on his knowledge was so important for me.Thanks again for making my experience so positive.

Review №31

I had nine Cuban movie posters framed here a few months ago and cannot imagine a better experience overall. I must admit I was skeptical after reading so many positive reviews; it seemed too good to be true! Well, its all true! Rodolfo was so fun to work with. Our posters are all different styles and colors and he took so much care to work with us to select frames that really brought out the uniqueness of each piece. As a set the posters look amazing, each in their unique frame. Bonus for being professional, timely and having options that arent super expensive. We will be back for sure! I highly recommend Rodolfo and his team!

Review №33

Absolutely wonderful. First time I went here, they stretched and framed a huge canvas for a lower price than any other framing shop Ive tried, and helped me choose the best frame for the piece (its absolutely gorgeous!). Since then Ive kept coming back for all of my framing needs, and they always take the time to consult and think about what the best fit would be, patiently cover different options and combinations until Im satisfied (including constructing complex frames for oddly-shaped pieces). The prices are always fair and the end result is always highly professional and an absolute pleasure.

If you have a special piece of art that you want beautifully and expertly framed, this is the place to go! The owner, Rodolfo, has an artists eye, and works patiently and enthusiastically with you to agree on the matting and framing that will best present your work. I joke with him that he has totally spoiled me. I wouldnt dream of going anywhere else!

If you need to know pricing on framing pictures, go somewhere else. If you want to get the best experience in learning what framing, matting, and more, this is place to go! Rodolfo is so knowledgeable about framing and what goes well to make your picture shine! Come in with an open mind and trust in his experience! Make an appointment for a consultation!

I can only say that my family and I are very appreciative of your talent and gift that you have within you to make every picture, piece of art or a poster look like a museum piece. I started learning about the importance of coordinating the colors among the mats, frame and artwork, the first time you framed my unforgettable painting of the Charles Bridge in Prague.......your work and talent are shown through out my house. Thank you.

Review №50

As someone on a limited income—and with two art pieces that meant a lot to me—having them professionally framed was way at the bottom of my list. Then a friend gave me a discount coupon and told me about Artistic Picture Framing. There, an incredibly experienced framer (whose name I’ve forgotten—sorry!) not only suggested that I choose among several affordable options, including frames and framing techniques she recommended—she also handed me another coupon! In about a week, I picked up two beautifully matted and framed art pieces at a price I could afford, and I know I’ll be back.

If you want anything framed well, this is the place. The wrong frame can either take away from what youre framing, or even ruin it. The correct frame will accentuate it! Rodolfo is an artist in helping you decide on the correct frame. I wont get anything framed anywhere else!

Review №65

I never wanted to write a review until I walked into this store. I needed some prints framed ASAP and the owner Rodolfo told me he could do it on the same day, which to me was unheard of. His ideas on how they could be framed were incredible and it was obvious he possesses a fantastic artistic knowledge of how to frame.Sure enough at the end of the day I came to collect and not only were they ready, but he had used more expensive and beautiful materials than I had paid for, simply because he takes pride in his work. I wish him the best of luck in the future and I wish that every store keeper could be as dedicated as him.
