"Clayton Valley Frameworks has a professional staff second to none! They are experts in color coordination which is critical when having multiple mats framing a piece that will be viewed by hundreds of people in a busy gallery. The store has numerous frame selections and the staff has the patience to work with you in exploring options until you are satisfied. They aren't hesitant in voicing their opinion on your choices but having voiced their concerns, will proceed to complete your instructions in a timely professional manner. The store is convenient to most East Bay communities and parking is always plentiful. Craig and his staff can be trusted to do an excellent job from the framing of a basic snapshot to the matting and framing of a costly work of art. Warren - Martinez"

"After receiving a painting from a friend as a gift, I had to find a place to stretch and bind it for me. First, I went to Michaels who would not give me a precise estimate, only stating "it will be $200 at least"and claiming they would have to cut some of the painting off. Due to the poor customer service I decided to try elsewhere. Thank God I found Clayton Valley Frameworks! The woman who helped me was extremely nice! She gave me the total price I would have to pay to have it bound and stretched ($117), and when I said I saw they had a yelp deal she automatically gave me the 25% off ($84 total)! She told me it could take 3 weeks to complete, but will probably be finished earlier-it was finished in less than a week! My painting looks beautiful and they did an amazing job-nothing was cut off from it! I will definitely recommend them to friends and family! What a great business!"

"Clayton Valley Frameworks is the place to go. They do a bang up professional job and the end results are always awesome. I will never use anyone else again. Craig even went out of his way tio help me hang 3 very large and beautiful Chinese prints he just framed. He did not have to do this and basically he won a client for life! Me. Great work, good prices and great people! Neil - Brentwood"

"CVF does amazing work. They are very professional and everything always comes out looking top notch. They have a large variety of frames to choose from as well as lot's of ideas for alternative framing ideas. We recommend them to all of our clients."

"I was recently in California for a trip with some old friends from college and I ended up buying some art from a local art show. I wanted to have them framed before the end of our trip (the art, not my friends) but since I wasn't from the area, I didn't know where to go. One of the vendors told me about Clayton Valley Frameworks and they could not have been more right when they said they were the best. They used high-grade matting and gave me a couple of good options for the best glass to protect my investment. I just got back home and hung my new pieces and I couldn't be happier with the beautiful art and wonderful framing. I can see why they've been in business for over 30 years (that was certainly a factor in my decision to use them)."
