“I wanted to thank you again for the latest framing work you did for me. It was perfect, as usual, which is why I have been coming to you for the past twenty (20) years.When we talked the other day, I mentioned that retirement will be coming soon and we will be moving out of state. Any new projects will be put on hold until we come back for a visit because I would rather wait to have something done right, the first time, than to be disappointed by the outcome of someone else’s work. The people you have working at your store truly are artisans when it comes to putting together a finished product. The care they take in making sure that the frame/matting both complement and accentuate the piece of art that was brought in is truly exceptional.”

“As the end of my term as a member of the Assembly approaches, I am in the process of making the transition from the State Capitol in Sacramento back to my home in our San Fernando Valley. The moving boxes contain records of the important issues we’ve faced during the past six years, and I find myself reflecting on those whose contributions were such an important part of what has been accomplished during this time. I feel a particular debt of gratitude to those of you who have given so much to the community, through your membership in the Chambers of Commerce. Your contributions to the growth of the San Fernando Valley have made a tremendous impact on the lives of the people living in our community. From the Organization for the Needs of the Elderly in Encino, to Mr. Bees Flowers in Canoga Park, to Flip’s Tires in Van Nuys, to the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Woodland Hills, the needs of all Valley residents are being met on a daily basis by businesses such as yours. In order to thank you for improving the quality of life for so many individuals, I am taking this opportunity to acknowledge your contributions and efforts, and I am happy to honor you with a certificate of recognition on my behalf. Your involvement and commitment to your Chamber has helped inspire the direction of my efforts during the past six years. It has been an exciting and challenging period in my life, and I am anxious to bring back to the community the experience I’ve gained during my tenure in Sacramento. Though my role may be shifting from public servant to private citizen, the commitment to our community will remain just as strong. I look forward to continuing our work together to build a stronger, more vibrant community.”
-Robert M. Hertzberg, Speaker Emeritus, Assembly California Legislature
“Thank you for your generous support of the Los Angeles City Fire Department’s 1993 Los Bomberos Charity Golf Tournament. Your participation, and donation of framed fireman prints, made a real impact in making the tournament one of the best in our history. We are pleased to inform you that the tournament raised over $2,000. Due to the hard work of our volunteers, our organization’s operating costs are at an all time low. This means that almost all of the money generated will be split between the L.A. Fireman’s Widow and Orphan’s Fund, the March of Dimes, and the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation. Once again, thank you for your generosity. We are looking forward to continuing our mutual goal of improving our community with you.”
-Ralph R. Ramirez, President, Los Bomberos, City of Los Angeles

“After my most recent trip to your store, it occurred to me that I had not ever taken the time to properly thank you for all your good service over the years. I forget just how long I have been patronizing U-Frame-It but, if the sheer number of pictures, artwork and memorabilia hanging on my wall are any indication, we have shared a considerable amount of time together! Your selection, your service, your courtesy have always been of the highest calibre and, as long as there is still wall space in my home, I will be a frequent visitor to you and to your staff. My congratulations and thanks for a job well done. Best wishes to you and yours in this holiday season!”

-Charles Graffeo, Set Decorator, “Diagnosis Murder”
“I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful and prompt work you and your staff have done for me and my show.

I have brought my business to other picture framing houses, and with your staff being as knowledgable as they are, and as pleasant to work with, I will not be patronizing the competition again.

Looking forward to doing a great deal of business in the near future.”

You and U-Frame-It have been there through it all, through good times and bad, and you have watched me grow and develop, as I you. I am proud to know you, to do business with your fine company, and to consider you friend. Until my photos, and your frames meet again.”

You have helped me to create such a wonderful impression to our clientele that we now have the reputation as ‘the fabulous Salon with the stunning art work’. Even though there are numerous framers in my immediate neighborhood, I would not consider going to any of them for my framing work. You and your employees have always shown the utmost in professionalism and expertise in your field.

Thank you for providing such beauty and workmanship in all of my projects, both small and enormous.”

“I thought it would be kind to write you to speak my appreciation to you for your exceptional business practices. For your kind service, promptness and dependability, as well as the quality of your work, I thank you very much. I recall how you have supported my needs in two shows at Universal Studios Hollywood and one last year at the Franklin Mint in Pennsylvania. There have been other shows, clients, and needs where you continue to come through for me. Being very pleased with your work, I continue to recommend you to my friends, other artists and clients. I know you have always pleased them as you have me. I originally came to you for my framing requirements on the recommendation from my clients, i.e. E. Paul Broadski C.P.A. and Universal Studios. Of course your work is pleasing and your promptness is appreciated, but it is your unusual kindness and personal help that I am sure makes your business a success. Sad to experience that this is not how it is with most of the people I deal with now days. Kindness, politeness and serious personal concern are rare. When these are combined with good service and a sound product and craftsmanship, I will always come back as well as recommend you to others. As the artist I want my work to shine, to be seen in the best light possible. The frame sets the art apart from all the confusion around us. You stand apart from so many others, and you shine.”

It worked well with our limited budget. As you know, in retail, image is everything, and most of our customers have a very high standard when it comes to accepting products from the outside. Through your help, we were able to bridge the gap between cost and quality good looks. Our framed lifestyle prints are helping to increase Bugle Boy sales and awareness throughout the United States. For Bugle Boy’s next framing project, I certainly won’t hesitate to call on you and your company again!”
