I contacted Art Smart to hang 20 pieces of art work for me. Valerie responded to my call right away and was very pleasant to talk to. In fact, she was able to put me in their schedule the following week! Valerie and Paul arrived promptly and were very friendly. I showed them around my home and where I "thought " some of my art should be hung. With their years of experience, they gave me wonderful suggestions on placement of my art pieces. ( I have had these pieces for over a year and was completely flustered on where and how to hang them). They worked at a great pace, ensuring every piece was hung with care and sturdy! I cannot recommend them enough! My art pieces look fabulous and now I can sit back and enjoy them! Thank you so much Valerie and Paul!! read more

We moved into our new home recently and after reading the reviews on yelp, we decided to have this awesome shop hang art works that we bought from an artist in Canada. Valerie, the owner and one of her kind employees arrived at our place on time and with short notice and took care of our requests. Our treasured pieces were hung perfectly and they took the time to explain everything to us and put us at ease. Would we use the same company again, without a doubt, "YES!" We are planning to ask Valarie to frame some childhood memories posters for us as well. Thank you Val! Best read more

I work in property management and was recently asked by one of my building owners to install artwork in the lobby of one of his San Francisco office building. With absolutely no direction on type of art or colors from the owner, I proceeded to call Valerie at ArtSmart. I told her what I needed and she had samples for me the same day based on the little bit of information I could provide her. The owner choose one of the patterns and Valerie found more pieces to go with it. The owner loved the art pieces and approved. She had the pieces embellished which gave it the appearance of being an original. The artwork was installed in the lobby and the owner was beyond pleased as was I. Valerie has a keen eye for art and is excellent at her job. She's very reliable and responsible and is always a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her for any art project you have. read more

Valerie is the absolute best! We did an office remodel this year and had so many problems and delays with the various design and furniture people that we ended up firing everyone and doing it ourselves. Valerie was recommended to me another vendor and her art piece turned out to be the easiest thing we did. She showed up with numerous samples and catalogs. We picked out a few things we liked. She came by one more time for us to finish our selections and we had about a dozen beautiful prints hung in a couple weeks. Everything looks great and cost less than I had actually budgeted. I highly recommend her. read more

For my work project, I needed to install 28 patent plaques onto our main office entrance wall. I knew if I did it on my own, it would take days to do! I imagined how I would accomplsih this task, and it involved lasers, string, screw drivers, and other battery-operated tools! Luckily, I found Art Smart, I turned to Valerie and Paul to do the job for me - with their tools, experience, and expertise, they helped me accomplish this project within a short amount of time. We had some time contraints, but the turnaround time from initial contact to job completion was great! Valerie made me feel confident that we could complete the job with such a short amount of time, and she delivered. Valerie was very responsive and helpful, and Paul did a great job installing all our patent plaques onto the wall with the wire system. The finished product looks great - very modern and high-tech. I would definitely recommend Art Smart for your Art or Plaque installation needs! read more

I'm very happy that I found Art Smart! I recently began a new job and was asked to research art installers and setup an appointment for our office's art work to be installed. I spent a couple of weeks looking on-line to find the best art installer for a very affordable and reasonable price. Valerie whom I spoke with was very nice and always followed up on any questions I had and was very understanding and able to make the appointment fit our work schedule. Paul (the installer) came to install our art pieces. He was very professional and very nice. He gave us suggestions and ideas to help improve the aesthetics of our art placement. He worked very quickly but thoroughly and didn't take more than 2 hours to install about 25 pieces of art. Once he installed all the pieces, he went back around to ensure everything was ok, cleaned the frames and touched up any chips on the frame. I haven't received any complaints in our office, and I think our office looks great! read more

I called Valerie at Art Smart after a friend recommended her (I needed a few large mirrors hung). Valerie called me back and was very attentive. I requested that the mirrors be put up on fairly short notice and Valerie was eager to please. She put me in touch with Paul and his assistant, Tom. Both men arrived promptly, and without even asking, they noticed that I had a small "Please remove your shoes sign" so they did. Paul and Tom were very nice, knowledgeable, professional, and eager to please. They did a fantastic job. They even helped me decide where my mirrors should go. Five stars from me for outstanding service. It was a pleasure working with all three of them and I am happy to recommend them to anyone who needs art or mirrors hung in their business or home. read more

I have recently used Art Smart services to frame some prints for the company I work at, and I could not be any more satisfied with the services provided. As our prints was a very special one, coming all the way from Africa, I was a little concerned as I did want our framing to give justice to our massive and terrific images. And it did. It all started with a great customer service, where I was greeted by Valerie with a big smile, even though I was 30 minutes early. Then not only she paid close attention to my request, but she helped me identify the best framing for our print. I can not recommend Art Smart and Valerie enough! And I will sure use their services again in future projects. read more

I'm so glad I found Art Smart! I had Valerie frame a print for my bedroom and was so pleased with the selection of frames and quality of the framing I decided to have her frame more art pieces. I had several large canvas prints framed to give them a more upscale custom look. I didn't like a color in one of the canvas prints so Valerie referred me to an artist to touch up the color. I also needed an art piece for my dining room, I looked through her catalogs of art that can be ordered in almost any size. She helped me decide on the size canvas and framed it beautifully. I look forward to working with Valerie in the future. Art Smart has a great selection of frames, great prices, and great customer service! read more
