Always had great service here and rarely is it very busy. I'm not sure if they are commission or…read morehourly but if they are commission I owe one of their employees an apology for not always asking for her because she has always gone out of her way to help me and make great suggestions. The paint quality is better than any other paint I've used in recent memory. The prices are high for the premium options but I'd rather spend more for something that will last rather than spend less and repaint more often. Of course they also have a lot of the paint accessories you'll need as well to get the job done. I've never been disappointed in the service and quality here and would definitely recommend them. Note: The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because the prices aren't the lowest you will find and sometimes the premium options are out of stock (but to be fair who hasn't run into supply issues all over today no matter where you go?)

They immediately gave me attitude that they won't shake it since it's not there product. Okay, attitude but whatever right. Then I ask them if they could open the older plastic paint sample top and they both roll their eyes at me and they can't do that with either ( their own product). Terrible attitudes for employees. One of the guys (white guy) was in a bad mood. Gotta love it when you leave your business in the hands of employees like this. I won't ever be doing business here again, and I'll go out of my way to let all my business contacts know and do the same. Too many other shops to support that actually support and respect a paying repeating customer.

Today…read moreI went to return a few products that my elderly parents had and had not opened/used that they asked me. The manager Bill came over and in front of three young cashiers that he was training said, "what are you trying to do, empty out someone's garage." Without the cashier having even finished scanning the items to see if they could be returned he had made his decision/judgement. I find his comment disinhibited, judgemental, and quite unprofessional. In a day where people can more easily shop from amazon or home depot down the street; the ones that continue to come to your store out of loyalty you lose with nasty managers such as Bill.
