This review is long overdue. Thank you Artistic Picture Framing for your care, precision, time, and…read moreattention to detail. Rodolfo truly is a joy to work with and is so knowledgable about his craft. Couldn't have pictured (love a good pun) working with anyone else for the first framed piece in our son's nursery. While at a community holiday fare, we bought a super cool piece of art from a local vendor of a map of El Cerrito which includes my husband's work site. It's playful, colorful, and full of joy. After utilizing the Yelp app to find a framing company close by, we found Artistic Picture Framing. After meeting the crew in-person, we knew we were in the right hands. We worked with Rodolfo on choosing the right colors for the piece and chatted about becoming parents, the nursery we were building, and the magic we were hoping to encompass and build around from this staple piece. He captured truly what we were looking for at an affordable rate. Looking forward to utilizing this service for future art, so happy with the outcome!

I called four framing shops but none would touch a repair. It was a very large piece and I didn't want to spend $1-2K on a redo. Artistic Picture Framing agreed. It took 3 days, just over $100, and it looks good as new. Amazing!

My wife and I had a very disappointing experience at Virtual Framing in the Solano Town Center. She…read morefound a poster she liked, displayed in a clear plastic holder with multiple copies, and began pulling one out--assuming, as anyone might, that they were available for purchase directly from the display. Instead of a polite correction or guidance, the owner abruptly stormed out from the back and shouted "WHOA WHOA WHOA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"--startling both of us. My wife apologized immediately and tried to explain we weren't aware there was a specific process, but that didn't stop him from continuing to raise his voice and snatching the poster from her hands. He then gave us an unnecessarily condescending lecture about how "it's really just common sense." Even after my wife apologized again and said she would remember for next time, he kept going. His tone was rude, patronizing, and completely disproportionate to the situation. We decided to leave without buying anything because we simply didn't want to be treated that way. To the owner: if you don't want customers touching merchandise, that's completely understandable--but then clearly post signs asking people not to handle items without assistance. Don't assume people know your process, and definitely don't talk down to them when they make a simple mistake. Your behavior was unprofessional, and it ruined what should have been a simple, pleasant shopping experience. We won't be returning, and we sincerely hope others are treated with more basic courtesy and respect than we were.

I do not leave negative reviews, but in this case, I am hoping to save others their time and money…read more I had an old picture of my grandfather and great grandfather that I wanted re-printed as well as an audio cassette of my mother interviewing my grandfather about his life. Both have been truly disappointing. The picture reprint is terrible quality, completely different coloring, and less clear than the original. I went back twice, to have them try to get a closer match. That was some improvement, but it did not at all match the original. I ended up paying for the pictures (with a discount for my trouble) and taking them to a different lab which was able to match the picture exactly in the first go. When I went back to a one to show them the quality of reprint I expected, and to request a refund, they were unable to do so and directed me to a manager, who I could email from their website. As for the tape recording, I received a call that the tape needed to be repaired for an additional fee. No problem there. After about a week, and a $43 charge, I excitedly brought the digital file home, only to find there was nothing more than 45 seconds of recording. Nobody mentioned how little time they were able to transfer at any point in this experience! I returned to the store, and they said they would try again, at which time they were able to get a full hour of recording. Wonderful! Well, what was to be a special birthday present for my mom, was a complete other family's recording, not my tape! So, FOR A THIRD TIME, I brought the tape back, for them to try again. Once again, I went home, only to find under a minute of recording. I called explaining my disappointment and requesting a refund. I was told the manager would call back, but I never received a call. I have now gone in to request a refund, and was directed to email the manager. The other company I used for my picture reprint, (which, in the first try, came back exactly how I would expect!) said they would absolutely let a client know that there was only a short amount of recording, before proceeding to create a digital file and would not charge anything unless the client wanted to move forward. Even then, they would only charge for the amount of tape they could transfer, not a while "blank" tape. I will update this review if and when I hear back. But for now, this has been an incredibly disappointing experience- Most disappointing is that none of this was ready for my mom's 85th birthday, which was the whole point of it all. What a waste of time and money
