This was our first time getting custom frames done and we cannot express enough how amazing this experience has been with John. His shop has hundreds of frames that you can choose from and can work with various sizes of artwork. We first started with a consultation which included design suggestions from his team, and where we got to mix and match different frames with our paintings. After receiving our new frames, they did a wonderful job wrapping it up and giving us instructions on how to best place it in our home. He also gave us a follow-up call to make sure we were able to put it up. You won't find anyone else who's as passionate and knowledgable in the area and we'll be happy to come back again next time! read more

John & Jeanna reframed two museum quality artifacts for me, in 2025 & 2026. I am thrilled with the results. Both outcomes were a huge improvement over the previous framings. John guided me towards unique frames and backing that complemented the artwork while not detracting from the beauty of the pieces. I was amazed at the diversity of offerings and really appreciated having a one on one meeting dedicated to discussing the various choices, which had been thoughtfully reviewed by J & J ahead of time. At no time was I pressured into selecting any particular option, but was shown several ideas of varying cost. Once a decision was made an approximate pick up date was provided. While a little longer than other places I have used the quality of the work is definitely worth the wait. J & J are perfectionists from start to finish, even to the wrapping of the end product to ensure safe passage home. My artwork was handled with careful respect at each stage. Their 3 step process : initial consult; review of suggested materials; and final pick up meeting was as unique as their offerings. This is a very special business operated by two highly skilled artisans. Both were an absolute pleasure to work with, read more

I don't put a lot of reviews on yelp. Most stuff is "fine, but not great", and doesn't deserve a whole bunch of accolades. That's not the case for Gregory Frame Shop, and so I need to update my review. I had them frame a couple of pieces many years ago and they did an amazing job. I got something new that had great sentimental value to me, and my first call was to John and Gina. If you have something you really care about that needs to be framed, these are simply the best people to trust something special. After three pieces of art, over 10 years, it's simply the best craftsmanship and attention to detail I've ever seen. I couldn't have asked for anything more from the end result, but I've got to say the experience of working collaboratively with people that really care about exceeding expectations was almost better than the end result. This last piece was challenging. The lithograph itself had been tightly rolled, and had some edgewear, which created issues with the framing. John gave me options for a couple of approaches, we weighed the pros and cons, and the result is, frankly, museum worthy. I have three beautiful pieces of art in my home from John and Gina, one of which is an 8 foot x 4 foot frame(!), that, after 10 years that still looks amazing. The highest integrity, people who are genuine artists. They're simply the best I've ever come across. read more

I left a message requesting an appointment, my call was promptly returned and an appointment scheduled. Wonderful customer service, Gina and John offer many options for framing. Their inventory, knowledge and expertise is greatly appreciated. I have used Gregory Frame Shoppe many times, have always had a pleasant experience and am very pleased with the final product. read more

When you need custom framing please consider Gregory Frame Shop in downtown Pleasanton on Main Street. I took in some treasures and the attention and pride they take in their work is exceptional. Custom framing. Hand made. Designed and modified for my pieces. Exceptional quality. The painted Joshua Tree desert scene: The shop was so amazed by the color combinations that they offered the most beautiful options for framing. The wood is hand carved with several color reflections and a desert weathered look with gold inlay to reflect the accents of the piece. Unbelievable. The Geisha and Skull: this piece is over a 100 years old with some damage. The shop suggested the rice paper borders and this frame was custom built, the gold accents modified to match the piece. Unbelievable. My pictures do not do the beauty of these frames justice. Gregory Frame Shop has no website, they are appointment only, and months of time are spent on custom pieces. As it was in the days we all long for, and worth every penny in today's world. read more

John and Jeanna do it again! Came back to Gregory Frame Shoppe after an awesome experience last year to frame a series of KAWS prints in my collection. As always, John & Jeanna are great artists and educators and were able to help me make the best decisions to optimize the colors of my artwork. The enjoyable part is not only the design process, but chatting with them both to learn about new materials and their process for constructing the frames. Needless to say, their craftsmanship is second to none. I get compliments not only on the artwork in my home, but the execution of the frames themselves. No edge is out of place & they get their dimensions down to a tee. John & Jeanna build truly MUSEUM Quality stuff. The time & investment are absolutely WORTH IT. Thank you again John & Jeanna for bringing joy into my home with your amazing work!! You have made us happy for years to come. read more

Gregory Frame Shoppe is THE place to go to get any of your special photos or paintings framed. John and Jeanna are fantastic to work with and know the craft like the back of their hand - I completely trusted them throughout the whole process. They were extremely communicative and have the expert advice of what type of frame will be best for your piece of art. My artwork is from the 1980s and very sentimental to me, which John and Jeanna treated with great care. I had gotten the artwork reframed about 10 years ago and it was not done well, so they showed me the process of how they were going to re-frame it to ensure the artwork was kept and treated with care. I couldn't have imagined how good the framing turned out and I absolutely love it! I appreciate everything that John and Jeanna did - I will definitely be returning and highly recommend to anyone! read more

What can I say about John and Gina? They are absolute professionals. My sister and I had the best time working with the dynamic duo. Their passion comes through immediately. I highly recommend this small business! Experience and process: My sister had an initial appointment w John to talk about framing a puzzle that had been in the family. He walked through the timeline, process, estimated costs and answered any questions she had. We came into the shop to select the frame wood/style, matte, trim, glass and everything in between. Wow- they are thorough! I didn't realize how long we could talk about frame options! As we talked through options, they gladly pulled estimates, provided time for us to review and kindly gave suggestions. We never felt rushed or pushed one way or the other. Instead, they gave us space to process. We felt really valued as customers and felt really confident to make an informed decision after! Execution and product result: They called us up to review the final product and we couldn't be happier w the result. The frame was absolutely stunning. They gave us plenty of time to admire it before they wrapped it up so we could give it as a gift. The craftsmanship was so detailed and done w precision and care. My family was so happy with the product- it is now hanging prominently in our living room! The Gregory Frame Shoppe does not disappoint. You can tell John and Gina really care about their work and really go above and beyond for their clients. They treat each person and project w respect and care. If I could give more stars to this review, I would! read more

John and Jeanna are artisans, plain and simple. They have pride in what they do, and it shows immensely. Whenever I need something essential or sentimental framed, I know who to contact, and working with them is always the utmost pleasure.

The owner is an absolute gem. It's always nice to support a small business but it's even better when that small business is exceptional. I needed hooks to hang on some mirrors that I purchased at a consignment store. I was on crutches and he came to my car while I sat there and brought them back and forth. It was so above & beyond. He of course, did an excellent job at a very reasonable price. His designer even came out to the car so I didn't have to go anywhere to book a design appointment. She was very sweet and gave me excellent instructions on how to prepare for the appointment. I'm so excited to have them help with my gallery wall! read more

Update: These people are amazing. The frames I got from them are sublime and John and Gina are some of the nicest people you've ever met. I am an artist and I spend a lot every year on framing, and some retail places don't hire artists or creative types, but these people get it and that's why I will be back again and again. read more

If you have a painting that you cherish, Gregory Frame Shoppe (established in 1980) is the place to go. John and Jeanna are the current owners who have run their business for the last 26 years and their expertise is unsurpassed. They have framed many of our paintings over the last 20+ years and we have always been delighted with the outcome. They treat each work of art as an individual piece and find just the right frame to showcase what is special about the painting. Their consultative approach and attention to detail is unlike any other place - we have found that it is absolutely worth any wait to get the right frame from them. They also have access to a large selection of custom and handmade frames from around the world - the frames by themselves are often a work of art. I would highly recommend them. read more

Anyone can frame a picture, but if you want framing that complements your artwork I recommend Gregory Frame Shop in Pleasanton. With so many options, they work with you to find the best solution for the artwork, your taste, and the best match. They don't rush, they take time to understand you and your project. I feel like I'm working with artists who truly want to work with me, not just frame a picture. My latest visit I have some woodblock prints from the 50's to be framed. Very special family treasures. The prints on their own are beautiful, the custom framing with Gregory Frame has made them amazing. The selection and options are fantastic. Hand carved frames, archival quality, beautiful rice paper mats and protective glass, have all come together to create a unique amazing complement to the beautiful prints. I know my artwork will be protected and look beautiful for generations to come. read more

Walked in on a lark to see about framing something for my son's room. I was blown away. John explained what needed to be done, broke down why prices are what they are and even pointed me to other options if he was out of my price point. The straight forward approach made me feel like this is the place to come to in the future. They also have a bunch of really cool art in the store. They earned future fussiness with my family. read more

Gregory Frame Shoppe - My son loves his prints that were stretched and mounted at Gregory Frame Shoppe. - Framing Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Gregory Frame Shop is absolutely the place to go if you want expert design and craftsmanship in framing. Our son who went to college in Boston had a collection of 4 tickets, one from each of the pro sports team events he attended (Bruins, Patriots, Celtics and Red Sox). For Christmas, we wanted to give him an extra special gift and have them framed now that he graduated and moved back to Pleasanton. All of the tickets were different of different sizes and colors (and the Red Sox ticket was in poor condition due to rain on the day of that game.) The owner, John Gregory, took special efforts to guide me through the thoughtful design for framing the tickets. I felt that my opinion mattered, but more importantly, that I had a true professional designer who cared enough to help me choose the best options to create this timeless and priceless gift for our son. I would highly recommend John and Gregory Frame Shop knowing that his customer service is superb and that he puts so much thought and effort into any piece you could bring to have framed. Thank you, John Gregory, and we look forward to working with you again on future projects. read more

I can't say enough about this frame shop. I had no idea what I was doing or how to go about framing my beautiful, limited addition print. I walked in and John got to work. His suggestions made sense but he never tried to upsell me on anything. He gave me all the options with regards to glass and frames from lowest to highest along with the pros/cons of each. I never felt pressured. The time frame for completion was right on. The end results was WOW!! Better than I ever imagined. When I am able, I will post a picture. I just recently dropped off another piece to be framed. I can't wait to see the finished product. read more

I was actually looking for a custom size table top glass. I called Gregory Frame shop today to check if they do glass as well. Nobody answered but I left a voicemail. I got a call back in less than an hour and the person not only explained very well about how/why they can't do the table-top glass, but also referred me to a few good spots in the area who can do that. I really appreciate the business ethics and willingness to help. Thanks a lot. read more

Gregory Frame Shoppe is, hands-down, the coolest frame shop in the area. The shop itself is something to be seen and the owners are passionate about their art, which makes the experience really enjoyable. We've used other framers in the Bay Area and are confident in saying that Gregory is by far our favorite. The prices are very competitive (if not better) and their work is meticulous. You truly feel like you're in good hands! Give 'em a try and your art will thank you... ;) read more

You will love this shop from the moment you walk in....really beautifully decorated. Wonderful expert service. Remarkable number of choices for frames. Jeanna spent lots of time helping me consider the choices for an original watercolor I had an artist do of our dog. I've had lots of things framed in many places over the years but this is by far the best experience that I've had! Picked up the piece from Gregory yesterday......it is gorgeous. Thanks Gregory Frame. read more

We've used Gregory Frame Shoppe several times now and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Not only do John and Jeanna care about making your art look great, but they care about your budget. My wife and I find that going to Gregory is just as fun as finding the art itself. The process of choosing the way to frame your art is fun with John. His suggestions help me look at our art in a different way and in the end our art always looks stellar. If you haven't tried Gregory Frame Shoppe then you and your art are really missing out. You'll find that once you've used them you won't want to trust anyone else. read more

John and Jeanna have completed many projects over the years for me & I am always blow away by how beautifully they turn out. Their creativity and attention to detail is outstanding. The frames they suggest are works of art themselves and always add something special to the picture. Many of my projects are custom needlework and Jeanna is a pro at mounting these special pieces. I also like that they work with US custom frame makers and help to keep this craft alive. My home is filled with their projects which bring joy every day. I highly recommend Gregory Frame Shoppe for all your framing needs. You will not be disappointed and you will have a high quality project which will last for generations! read more

They mounted a huge poster for my husband, it turned out great. Gave great instructions for hanging it and gave us the hangers. I love the store; it has such a great vibe, definitely steampunk and industrial. It's worth going in just to see the store. The staff are incredibly pleasant and helpful, and held on to the poster until it wasn't too hot/too cold/not raining so we could pick it up in the truck. It was too big to put in the car. I'd definitely use this shop in the future, and will not be going to Michaels or Aarons for framing ever again. This is the place to go. read more

I have been using John and Jeanna as my go-to framers for a decade now. As I look around my house, I think every room has at least two items they have framed for me. The reasons are simple: (1) Their ability to visualize -- Usually when I bring an item to them, I have *some* idea of what I am thinking. Every time I am impressed by their recommendations regarding mat/frame and ways to put it together. Sometimes their recommendations bring to life exactly what I was envisioning. Other times, their recommendations have made me think of the composition in a new way and the end result is far, far greater than I envisioned. This is saying a lot -- I have brought them some very difficult items (for example, items that are three-dimensional or items that are extremely fragile). Not once have I been disappointed (even *slightly*) in the end product. (2) Their workmanship. Everything they have framed is built rock solid. You only need to see their store and the amazing displays they have constructed to see their skill and attention to detail. I am quite sure these frames will outlive me. And I'm not that old. (3) Trust. I have brought them family heirlooms and works of art that are irreplaceable to me. These are things I would not trust with your department store type framer. John and Jeanna, however, have treated every item as if it were their own. Because of this, I know that every item I bring them is in safe hands. If you're looking for someone to frame something for you, large or small, this is the place to go! read more

This is a great local business with super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful folks. John couldn't have been more enthusiastic and passionate about the task before him and his expert knowledge, suggestions, and care were just fantastic. We look forward to doing more business with them in the future. read more

Could not figure out how to put a photo of art work framed by Gregory Frame Shoppe. but trust me it is gorgeous--- I recently won an award for one of the pieces at the Pleasanton Art League . I am sure the framing added to the overall quality of my art work. . I am a local artist and I brought in two of my most important pieces to Gregory's aprox a year ago. They both required complicated framing because they were both two dimensional fabric art and had to be attached to mat board without glue. I cannot even express how pleased I was with the quality of the work. And as important how nice and supportive these folks are. Even though I create art on a regular bais- framing just escapes me. That is where thier artistic skills come in for choosing mats and frames. And they are a wealth of information about the do's and don'ts of framing. Never felt rushed and I had thier full attention. Recently they have also helped me with some less complicated framing issues- no job too small or too big- same level of service and quality. Took me awhile to get around to writing this review- life gets complicated but . I do not think they are any more expensive than the chain frame stores- much better service and selection and quality. Pleasanton (and surrounding areas) are fortunate to have them . Strongly recommend this place. read more

The attention to detail & customer service they provide is unbelievable. I will never go anywhere else for my custom framing needs!!! They are THE BEST!!!! read more

Gregory Frame Shoppe deserves this highest rating, if I could give them more I would. I presented John and Jeanna with an extremely personal and challenging job. My father in-law was a commercial illustrator with a large portfolio of work that I wanted to have framed for my wife this past Christmas. The challenge was to select and organize pieces within a mid-century modern style. John and Jeanna were amazing; they researched specific sub-categories within the mid-century modern movement and then began grouping the art work into cohesive themes. The attention to detail, artistic interpretation, quality of the work and the materials were best in class. I have had experiences framing other pieces of art and without question Gregory Frame Shoppe sets the standard for quality and value both in materials and process. The most impressive part of my experience with Gregory Frame Shoppe was the level of energy and true excitement they have for their craft. They truly embraced this challenge and were honestly excited about the artistic aspects of the project. I was included in the process (multiple consultations) with clear communication and presented multiple options at every decision point. They guided me where it was needed, but I never felt pushed. The net results were 5 major pieces of art that blew us away. Bottom-line is that if you are in the market for framing you need to take your business here. read more
