    Came to this location to have a poster framed. I have utilized them in the past with good success. I was happy with the results with the poster at hand. Though it did take a bit of time from design to delivery... about a month. A quality job in my opinion with great backing and lifts to make sure the frame sits off the wall, not against it. Would recommend this location if you're needing some framing done. I don't know about affordability, but the pricing for the job done seems reasonable to me.

    What a wonderful experience, the staff here is super knowledgeable and their customer service is amazing. We brought a special water color painting of a fish we caught in the keys and the team at Frameworks helped find the perfect frame, mats and color scheme to really make the fish pop with vibrant color. They have an incredible inventory of frames as can be seen in their showroom. Crag and his team are amazing, we can't wait to see the finished product.

    This shop does amazing work. We brought in two projects; both involved framing a shirt and a medal that my son won for his mountain bike races. The work was beautiful and far exceed my expectations. They had the shirts very neatly pressed and folded such that pictures on the sleeves were centered and presented within the area of the frame. The pictures best show the quality of the work.

    Before the mirror was removed and I applied antiquing film

    Craig did some magic for me with some framing. Let me explain. I bought 4 large framed mirrors from Walmart and wanted to place a film over the glass to make them look old. I couldn't get the glass out of the frames without breaking the glass or frames so I took all 4 to Craig and he removed the mirrors without damage. Then I placed the film over the mirrors, returned them to him and he reframed them. Not only that, but he came to my house and hung them perfectly - a tall order to get them all straight considering they weigh 30 pounds each. The hung mirrors look like photos I've seen in Pottery Barn, Wayfair, and Front Gate - all at a fraction of the price. I never could have done it without him!

    The experience at Clayton Valley Frameworks went beyond my expectations. Craig went above and beyond to make me a happy customer. First, there are so many unique beautiful frame options at the store. There is no way you will not be able to find something that will enhance whatever it is that you want to frame. The options are endless and way better than the options you will get at some of the national chain stores. Craig went beyond the call of duty. When I got home I noticed some imperfections in my canvas print. I worked along side the artist and with Craig. The artist was stumped (and not local). It was Craig and his knowledge of art that discovered that the print was missing some of the varnish. He had the artist send him a can of the varnish and he applied it to the print and it solved the problem. He easily could have had me apply the varnish since this had nothing to do with the framing. Instead he took it upon himself and solved the problem. Craig is the nicest guy and you will not go wrong visiting the store for your frame needs. The costs are extremely reasonable and even below some of those big chain stores I mentioned above. Plus the frames are way prettier and modern. As an added bonus his dog Bruce is sometimes in the store. Have no fear he is the sweetest dog and will not jump on your or bark. i HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

    Love this place, been coming here for over 8 years and been treated amazingly each time. If you want quality and top notch customer service this is the place. My son was in middle school when I got my first piece framed. I had no idea how to frame my art but they made it seem less. Picture attached my then middle schooler interacted with the business fur family.

    I've had the pleasure of working with Craig and his team numerous times to frame my fine art. Currently having two more done! While it's definitely a bit of a "splurge" that I reserve for the fancier shows, it's always well worth it to frame them in something custom. Of course, I want to add that the prices are very reasonable for the quality and work, and they're always flexible and willing to work around my budget. They're also all very patient and put up with my indecisiveness . Bonus points for having the pup in the office for us animal loving introverts. PS. The museum non-glare glass (or acrylic) is AWESOME. It's pricey, but you'll notice in the photos the paintings are glare free but protected from the elements.

    I wish I could give Craig 10 stars. I had a painting that I wanted to frame. I looked on Yelp and saw Clayton Valley Frameworks had great reviews so I took a chance. I can't begin to tell you how great of a decision that was. I had an idea in my head and Craig brought it to life. He has so many different frame options to choose from. It felt daunting, but Craig helped me narrow it down. The finished piece is gorgeous!! Fast forward a few months and I'm redoing my bathroom and wanted to get a custom framed mirror. Craig to the rescue again! With the care amazing customer service Craig provided, I'll be a customer for life.

The shop is odd, because it has a pinball gallery teeming with boisterous kids in the same space, only separated by a partial partition. I was forewarned about this on the phone. There is very little natural light in the shop. Not a pleasant environment for framing art unless you have a kid you need to entertain while you shop for frames. I really liked a particular frame and was given a very high quote, close to $500 for 16" by 20", no mat or glass and 4-5 week turnaround time. I aready have many custom framed pieces and know what costs can be- this was too high. I was able to find the identical frame for half the price elsewhere with a 2-3 week turnaround. I do appreciate that I was shown this frame. I'm not sure if I'd have noticed it on my own. I wish I could give a better review but high prices and slow turnaround are deal breakers for me.

We were preparing for an upcoming funeral, and I needed help with an expensive gold frame I had purchased from Hobby Lobby. One of the corners had separated, and I wanted to know whether the framing department could repair or reinforce it. Because the frame was large and heavy, I left it in my trunk until I confirmed that someone could help. My mother-in-law waited nearby so she could rest while my daughter accompanied me to the framing counter. I approached the employee working in the framing department and asked if he could assist me. His first response was, "I'm off in six minutes - what do you need?" The tone immediately caught me off guard. As I began explaining that the corner of the frame had broken apart and needed reinforcement, he interrupted me and said, "Stop. Just hurry up and tell me what you need." I was surprised because I was simply trying to explain the issue so he could determine whether it was something the framing department could fix. I told him the frame was needed for a funeral and asked if it could be repaired. Instead of addressing my question, he asked why my husband couldn't fix it. I explained that my husband is currently deployed, so he wasn't available to help, and that while I would try to repair it myself if necessary, I also work full-time. His response was simply, "So do I." At that point, it was clear that helping me was not a priority. What made the interaction even more upsetting was that my 4-year-old daughter asked afterward, "Mommy, why was that man so mean? Why didn't he want to help us?" Hearing that from my child was heartbreaking. I told her that maybe he was having a difficult day because I wanted her to understand that we should still try to show kindness to others. I shared my experience with the manager, who told me that this employee often tells others how important it is to be friendly with customers. Unfortunately, that was not reflected in the interaction we experienced. Thankfully, we went to Ace Hardware afterward, where an employee immediately took the time to help us. He recommended reinforcing the frame with small metal corner brackets, nails, and gold spray paint. His advice worked perfectly, and we were able to save the frame in time for the funeral. This review isn't about expecting perfection. Everyone has stressful days. It's about the importance of treating people with basic courtesy and respect, especially when they may already be going through a difficult time. A little kindness can make all the difference. Unfortunately, that was missing from our experience at Hobby Lobby.

So I can't remember the last time I had my hands on a pinball machine. Located in an industrial area, down the Street from Costco and less then a mile from park and shop. It's really just around the corner from Costco. You can easily walk here from Costco while you family shops you can be having so much more fun and not rush them. There was plenty of free parking right out front. The front is liked with live plants that mesmerized my mom. She loves plants. Soon as you walk inside you enter a framing shop. This is in the back rooms of a framing shop. It all started with the owner and his love of pinball machines and his love of sharing his hobby with others. And we are so thankful that he has shared. What a fun time and bring lots of quarters if you have them. We should have brought more from our coin jar. My dad had them all pulled out, then mom said we didn't need that many, we really needed that many. They also have a change machine. If you put $20 in you get $20 of quarters. It doesn't give change back if you only want a portions of quarters. We only spent around an hour there, but I could have stayed longer. I was having so much fun, but we ran out of quarters. Too bad, there were so many games to play. The front room were the oldest games and gave you the most plays for your 50 cents. I believe all those games gave you 5 balls. For beginners like us we need all the balls we could get. The cost of the machines are not on the coin slots it's on the bottom left corner of the pinball machine. These machines take quarters only, no game card that you have to refill with money. I really dislike those cards as if you put too much on there is no getting your money back. So yea! For the use of quarters. I love this feature of The Flipper Room. They have my vote. Other pinball places also have a feature that I'm not sure about, they have it where they charge you by the hours. There is one in Reno like this and Downtown Sacramento. Those have those pluses too, but I really am a fan of the quarters. We have so many saved up in our piggy banks so it's like it's' free to play as we aren't going to the ATM, it's just free change. I had fun playing the pinball machines and also playing the PAC-Man Game. It was just a regular arcade game that cost 25 cents. It was. A mini game that they t up on a riser so you didn't have to bend down. I have fond memories of PAC-Man. We used to have a mini handheld version that was lots of fun. My mom is one of those annoying players that keeps hitting the flippers when the ball is no where near the flippers. We tried to explain to her that's not how to operate the pin ball machine, but she got really mad at us. We're sorry Flipper owner. We tried. I highly suggest you check this place out. Even if you aren't in the area it's worth the trip. They have both new and old school machines. There are 3 rooms of machines so if you bring a group you won't be cramped. Come play and have fun!!!

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.
