Rick was nothing but a joy to work with. He was so easy to work with. I'm so happy I was able to trust him to frame the black and white photo I gave him. He went above and beyond to get me the finished product within the timeline I needed it. The framed photo turned out better than I could have hoped. I trusted in him to do the framing how he thought was most suitable. The final product was beautiful. This was a gift to a coworker who was absolutely thrilled about it. Thank you Rick. I will be back! read more

Rick was extremely helpful in helping us decide how to frame our painting. He provided wonderful advice and took the time to find the best color matching and materials to make the painting shine. He was kind and genuinely cared to help us. The pricing was excellent, especially for the quality of work provided. The process was done so quickly. We couldn't be any happier with the finished product! Will certainly be bringing any paintings we have in the future! read more

Rick has a fantastic eye for detail and is a true artist at his core, as is shown in all his work!

What an amazing experience it was to work with Rick! I was unsure of exactly what I wanted but he listened and offered suggestions that were super helpful. He has the most incredible artistic eye and ability to pull together what I wanted so beautifully! My framed art piece was far above what I envisioned and I am looking forward to working with Rick again! It feels great to support a top notch local business! read more

I had two large water color pieces of art work that needed to be framed. I've had many pieces framed before but never had anyone explain the process in such minute detail. Rick spends as much time as you need. He is truly exceptional at what he does. He listens to you but will share his thoughts and expertise so you work together. His work is stunning and pricing is very fair. read more

I needed to have a custom print framed as a birthday gift. The party was to be the next day. So I needed it fast. The owner assisted me with the frame and matting. She was so helpful and sweet. They got it done really fast. And the price was incredibly good for a rush. My picture came out fantastic and was very much loved. They have interesting art for sale inside Ive thought about buying a few things Ive seen. This is a great local business. I will only come back here to get things framed. The owner is exceptional and has my business for life. read more

I am Charles Jarrett, the owner of Megaline Photographic Design in Alamo California for 38 years. I have known and done business with Cathy Riggs and Rick Holcomb for over 10 years. I have sent many of my clients to them when they and I want expert artistic advice and workmanship on superb print and historical artifact framing. Cathy Riggs passed away recently and I want you to know that Rick has taken on all aspects of this business with the blessing of Cathy's family and the Martinez Art Assn. I am a stalwart supporter of this business, their very reasonable pricing and outstanding workmanship!! In all the years I have been licensed as a professional photographer, I have never met a framer like Rick Holcomb who can select appropriate framing and matting that so appropriately meld with imagery as beautifully as this man can. I personally have heard his customers tell him to simply "do what every it takes for this piece too look it's best!" read more

Kathy is great and Rick really knows his business. This is a great shop, they have done superior work for me and I highly recommend them.

This review is just for customer service. My friend and I were walking by on a Saturday afternoon and we went in. The guy there was very cool and gave us lots of his time. We both loved the location and information the gentleman gave us. So nice to see that people are still kind to share their time. Great place. Thanks! read more

Cathy Riggs knows how to make that print or work of art look amazing in a Frame! her enthusiasm ,color and style sense are truly amazing and it's a fun place to just visit and hear some of the stories about the people & things she has framed for them! read more

I've brought a number of pieces into Cathy at her shop on Ferry St. She is wonderfully interesting and very artistic. She has reframed an original Schoneberg for me and did an amazing job! I've also brought her two original maps dating back to the mid 1600's. One of which the glass in the original frame was broken by an art dealer while he had it for appraisal. She carefully made sure that the map was removed, rematted in correct matting and repaired the frame and placed a higher quality glass near the map to preserve the piece. Highly recommend her and her shop! read more

If I could give this place zero stars I probably would. The only reason I'm giving it one star is because I have to and The items I dropped off to be framed did look good when I picked them up. I dropped off three items to this location when I was about 7 1/2 months pregnant. One of the items was for the baby's nursery. I asked the owner, I believe she was the owner, to please contact me before conducting any of the work to ensure I was OK with the price. Months and months went by, and I received no call from her. The store is only open on the weekdays, so when I went by on the weekend to check on my items, no one was there. Finally, I was able to get downtown during the week to check on my items after I had driven by and seen one of my items in the front window. It was the same photograph I had brought to the store for the nursery. I had never received any phone call regarding any of the work, but it had already been done. When I went into the store to collect my items, the invoice for the three items was almost $700. The owner of the store was not there and the woman who was working at the store was absolutely clueless. She could not even find my invoice. I had to find it for her. Had I not found it for her I would not have even been able to pick up my items. Two of the items I had dropped off were irreplaceable so I had to pay for those items. It was almost $450 for those items. I was forced to pay it in order to take what I had dropped off. I left a note for the owner to please contact me to discuss the outrageous price and the picture I left behind. It has been over a week and I have not even heard from her. The work that was done was quality, but in no way did it warrant the astronomical cost. In addition, the woman working at the store, alluded to the fact that perhaps if I "worked on" the owner, she's a nice lady, and would come down in price. Was I supposed to basically come back and haggle for my items? Why was I not just charged a reasonable price to begin with? Lastly, since the items were so outrageous and price, I had to use my credit card. In order to do that, the woman had to ask the man who runs the store next-door to come over and run my card. This place is a racket. This is what I get for trying to help out a small store in the local community. read more
