THE WORST! This store lacks experience and knowledge of the painting trade and their customer…read moreservice is exceptionally poor. I've been painting homes for nearly 30 years now and had to laugh when the store manager Brittany, tried to tell me how the paint samples Sherwin Williams provides don't really match their actual paint products. We had a situation where paint mixed at the Douglas Ave. store in Des Moines was clearly different than the Sherwin Williams paint sample provided. This led to 4 hours of paint crew time lost applying a bad color mix from this store. After several phone calls and a return trip to give the store an opportunity to offer a remedy; for instance, store credit for the cost of bad paint etc. any remedy at all really, store manager Brittany doubled down on her bad product and service. Naturally paint sales are final for obvious reasons, but when your Douglas Ave Des Moines, IA store jacks up the mix, costs customers and contractors time & money, doing the right thing seems so simple.

I walk in, and as usual I'm picked out as soon as I make two steps into the door to ask if there's something they can help me with. I guess browsing is not allowed (to bad for them since that's when my wallet starts to loosen up, and I buy things that I "think" I need). I tell the clerk that I need some ceiling paint. I'm asked: "interior or exterior"... Um, exterior ceiling paint? I don't think there is a such thing as exterior ceiling paint. Now I looked hard and far for anyone claiming to sell exterior ceiling paint. I even asked the clerk to show me a can of paint labeled "exterior ceiling paint" which he wasn't able to do. I think I'll just drive the extra 10 minutes to the next nearest home center store instead of stopping here. At least I can browse around those stores to get ideas on projects that I may want to tackle in the future.
