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 had 7 pieces of art that I wanted to update the matting for, some with multiple openings in one frame.

Moreover, I have been to 3 framers for a very special custom piece and never went through with the order because of poor designs and awful customer service. Devondre did what they couldn't due in 15 minutes and I gladly paid $600 for this one special piece.

Rhino Builders remodeled two bathrooms in our home, but the process was far from smooth and we…read moredon't recommend them. While the final result was decent, getting there involved a series of careless mistakes, lack of attention to detail, and poor communication. The project manager and foreman consistently over-promised and under-delivered, missing promised dates without informing us and often being unresponsive. The foreman was competent when present, but he was frequently pulled away to other jobs, leading to a lack of supervision and quality control. This caused us to spend a lot of time supervising the crew ourselves to ensure they didn't make careless mistakes, which felt like the opposite of the "trust" they claim to build. Some of the mistakes were basic but significant. They hooked up our new toilet to hot water, installed door trim out-of-level so that we are now unable to install doors, and did sloppy tile work that we had to ask them to begrudgingly redo. When issues arose, they often tried to fix things hastily, for example trying to fix the hot-water-toilet screw up by installing a flexible sink hose behind drywall instead of proper piping. Even the installation of a pocket door frame had to be redone from scratch after drywall had gone up, because the crew hadn't followed manufacturer instructions and left half the screws sitting on the floor. Throughout the project, we found ourselves having to step in and correct things or remind them to finish tasks they promised, which was both frustrating and time-consuming. By the end, we did not trust them at all to do things properly. Despite the challenges, there were a few positives. The interior designer they included with the project was fantastic, and they stuck to the original budget without adding surprise costs, except for one reasonable change order. Overall they are genuinely nice people in general and were not trying to rip us off. They did try to fix the problems we identified. However, these few good points didn't make up for the overall lack of quality control and communication, which is why we cannot recommend Rhino Builders.

They get well-deserved rave reviews. Happy to report they were solid from start to finish (and I'm pretty picky about wanting things as near to perfection as life allows). I found Tom responsive, honest, very easy to work with, willing to address issues that arose, and much more pleasant to work with than any contractor we've worked with previously. Jason who on was on site with the project was focused, considerate, detail-oriented, dependable, and trust worthy. I especially appreciated their input and willingness to problem solve a few issues that surfaced (not knowing what was behind walls or under the house before we started). I would 100% work with them again for future projects and grateful for the ways they went the extra mile.

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.
