I called ahead to place an order, and they helped me figure out exactly which paint I needed to match my existing color, "Amazing Gray." When I arrived, the gallon was already waiting for me. The store was well stocked, and I was able to pick up a 3/8" nap roller and a 2" angle brush for cutting in corners. Their loyalty program is another Sherwin-Williams perk. They take 10% off of the price for members plus it's an easy way to track purchases and do re-orders. Excellent service and a smooth experience all around.

The sales people saw me there and knew what I was doing. After finally finding the right wallpaper and wanting to order some samples, I went to the desk with the hope of ordering the samples and they simply said we can't help you. We don't deal with wallpaper, you have to come back on the few days that the wallpaper person worked there. Very unhelpful, rude, and extremely disappointed that they at least didn't inform me they could be of no help when it came to wallpaper before I spent the hour and a half there.

The cutest ACE hardware near Manasota and Venice!…read more We were headed to hunt for shark teeth on the beach and needed a new sand sifter, and this ACE had a perfect corner of supplies not only of sifters but other things for the beach. Of course they have all the other regular offerings you may need or desire in a hardware store. It's a small shop but they sure packed it full of stuff. And Cindy who checked us out was the sweetest lady! Knew exactly why we wanted the sifter and helped us right along.

Lowe & Home Depot men run when they see women and act like they don't understand, then say wait, but nevers comes back to help.

I so wanted to browse and check out every little corner but with little ones in tow maybe some other time. Beelined to the paint shelf, debated on a few colors... so many pretty ones to choose from. I also had the kids picked out their fav colors in sample size cans to paint our next project. Brought home 4 different colors, a few brushes, clear wax finish and a paint roller. Annie Sloan is not cheap... I def splurged. The owner was so sweet, gave me an impromptu class on chalk paint 101. Said to give her a call if I have any questions. Can't wait to build my paint color collection.

Well the two pots were delivered a couple days later July 1st from the store but I did not receive the potting soil till I got home Tuesday July 6th when I got home. This was on my doorstep (see pics). My wife just had hip replacement surgery and had to enter the house from the garage. HOME DEPOT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT!!! I called my Home Depot store and asked for a manger. I was connected with Daniel, an assistant manager. He asked how he could help and I asked if I could just send him the pics you see here and he said sure. He said, "while I'm waiting for your email to show up, want to tell me your issue." I said, "I think this time, I will just have you see the pics" Daniel then said after seeing the pics, "ohhh NO WAY! This is so NOT acceptable!" He profusely apologized and said he will send over a supervisor & assistant to take of this immediately! Less than an hour later, Joel & Jay rang my bell. They also were blown away that the warehouse shipped these items like this and MOSTLY that FedEx would walk away thinking this was acceptable! So Joel & Jay asked me where I wanted them and they carried all 12 60lb bags to my backyard and neatly stacked them! They took all the cardboard boxes with them as well even though that was so not their responsibility but a great help to this OLD (66) Marine! NOW boys & girls, in life we ALL make mistakes. Making mistakes is how we learn. It's NOT the mistakes we make, it's what we do to learn and how we rectify our mistakes or complete failures! This is a GIGANTIC mistake and/or failure! Home Depot with their INCREDIBLE representatives KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!!!! My hard earned dollars will continue to flow their way! Home Depot should never let these great employees and representatives of their company's image, go!!! 5 huge Stars!!! Thank you fellas! God bless!

I couldn't be happier or made a better choice. These folks are thorough every step of the way - from cleaning and prepping/repairing the surfaces to going over their work, spotting any imperfections and touching up at the end. Matt was incredible. Friendly, understanding and stopping by during the day to ensure the team painting was on track and not missing a thing. It's very comforting to have a leader at the company ensuring the customer is happy and knows what to expect as the job progresses. Paint job is perfect. I'd highly recommend anyone looking for exterior house painting to bring in Artistry. You won't regret it.
