Review from Annette C.
Piedmont, CA
We like to buy relatively cheap art from our travels and dress them up with sometimes funky, sometimes fancy frames. Ikea frames for the bedrooms, Aaron brothers for the family spaces: kitchen, playroom and bathrooms, but for the guest areas: front hall, living and dining rooms, I wanted really high quality framing. I was worried that I'd have to go across the bridge into SF to get that, but am happy to report that I found a place right here in the east bay, Art Loft. Yes, it's pretty expensive, and yes, it might take some time, but it's all worth it.
Tom's shop seems small, but it's full of great options, and he has a great eye for unexpected combinations. Let him do his magic! -

Very professional, high end frame shop. They will charge you an arm and a leg and do a fantastic job. So very Montclair.

Every day I look at the work, I like it more than I did yesterday. I couldn't have come up with this on my own. I didn't have to.

Review from catherine c.

If you want to transform an interesting piece into a work of art, bring it to Art Loft Framing and let Tom loose on it.
Last week I had an unusual photograph of my girlfriend blown up to 3' square, and wanted it framed for her husband's birthday. I had altered it and made it a bit Warhol-ish. I was also up against a deadline, having decided on this particular print at the last minute.
Tom was great. He got into the spirit of the project and pumped it out in a matter of a few hours. He is very sure of himself, which kind of made me want to make my own decisions about how to frame and matte it, but in the end I went with his suggestions, and I'm so glad I did. The picture is now spectacular! Birthday boy was very pleased.
When you are going to have something as prominent and lasting as a framed picture on your wall, loosen up your wallet and have the professionals take care of it. (Tom has a line of frames for the budget minded). You will be forever grateful that you did. The quality is obvious.
Now I want a copy of that picture nicely framed and hanging on my own wall.... -
Review from L D.

Tom and his staff turned an original painting (a cartoon-ish painting of Charlie Munger!) into a beautiful piece of framed art. This was a gift for my husband and Tom took the time to talk about complimentary colors, types of frames, and even the types of wood available for the frame. In the end the picture was amazing and my husband was floored with surprise. The finished product was top notch - very high quality. You get what you pay for at Art Loft. I will never go anywhere else.

If I really care about something that I want framed, that I want to really cherish and pass down through the family, I take it to Tom at Art Loft. He has an amazing eye for color and texture, and his frames always add so much to the piece that I'm getting framed. His work is outstanding.
