When I bought my condo a year and a half or so ago - the builder, Beazer, used McCormick brand…read morepaints to paint the place. Beazer left me with a pint of the wall paint and a pint of the trim paint for touchups. I recently used up most of that pint of wall paint for repainting a couple of sections of wall in the living room after having the walls ripped open for a custom surround sound speaker cable run for my HD TV setup. I figured I had better get some more of this paint and hold it in reserve just in case (you never know when the manufacturer is going to discontinue a color!). I found that McCormick Paint is not available at Home Depot or Lowe's - you have to go to their own stores. Fortunately, there is one nearby in Manassas. I've gone by here once before on a Saturday afternoon - but they have limited hours on Saturdays - they close at noon. It's located on Route 28 south of Manassas - a bit just past the interchange of Route 28 and the Prince William County Parkway/Route 28 Bypass. So I made a point to get there about 11:30 am this morning. They had what I needed in stock! Picked up a gallon of their "Tempo Premium - Interior Semi Gloss Acrylic Enamel 18012 Designer White." Cost was $33 and change. Guy snagged me a gallon, rang me up, and I was on my way!

The owner, Barry Childress, is friendly and very helpful about all things relating to paint! He…read morespent a lot of time on repeated visits helping me choose wall colors for our home. He has a much better eye for color than I do and was willing to humbly share his expertise. I highly recommend shopping for paint at Childress Paint & More.

This is the best paint store around. The owner is extremely nice and everyone is very helpful and…read moreattentive. The prices can't be beat for the quality of paint that is similar to the high-end namebrand paints from BM and SW (half the price). Cannot recommend enough. We recently did a huge addition and remodel and bought all of the interior and exterior paint from Childress. Will never go anywhere else!

Stay away from the manager lady/ interior decorator lady. She is COLD. There's something very…read moreabrupt about her. The men working there are really nice and they mentioned that we can talk to their interior decorator because we had just bought a new house. They said she could help us with color transition and I was excited. Well, when the interior decorator/manager came out, I was NOT comfortable asking her questions. She's a very much "Tell me what you want and get out because you're a waste of time." I get that we're not contractors buying a butt load of paint but we're still customers. We're painting our third room and my hubby went in there with the dimentions of the room we wanted to paint (along with the closet and window dimensions). She acted as if it was an INCONVENIENCE to calculate how much paint we would need. HELLO? We're not professional painters. Does it KILL YOU to help us? HAVE YOU HEARD OF GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE? It's stupid to expect extraordinary customer service at a paint store but can I at least feel WELCOMED to ask questions? We're thinking of going to Sherwin-Williams paint shop up the street to avoid the NASTY lady. Or just try to go on a day when the lady is not working at the counter. The men there are so nice. Lady, please work in the back because you truely are scaring away the customers.

This is a wonderful local paint store dealing in high-end paints. They specialize in Benjamin…read moreMoore, but also carry Fine Paints of Europe and Farrow & Ball as well as everything you can think of for your paint or stain projects. The employees are warm, friendly and helpful and more than happy to advise on finishes, amounts of paint needed for rooms based on size and type and number of windows and doors. And they are very good at their estimates! They are also very helpful with advising on paint color selections. Highly recommend this shop!

Go to the Sherwin-Williams store in Fredericksburg (Jefferson-Davis highway), and have a better…read moreday! My wife told me the Sherwin-Williams people on Plank Road weren't good on customer service. Then halfway through painting a room, she needed another gallon of the paint she bought there & sent me to get it. It took me a while to get served. After that, it seemed they were trying to get rid of me quickly. Saying, "we don't have that", "there is a paint shortage", and "the base paint we need to make that might be in later this week; check back then". When I asked for alternatives or upgrades to finish our job, they seemed annoyed. They did check for the base paint in other stores, and said, "The system shows 5 gallons in Fredericksburg, but I know we took two, so I don't know if they will still have it if you go there." I called the Fredericksburg store. They had it, asked for the color code, and mixed it up while I was in transit. When I got to the Fredericksburg store, it was ready. Helpful, cheerful people took my order and had me on my way. Save yourself trouble and irritation. If you want Sherwin-Williams paint, just go to the Fredericksburg store. It's not that far away, and they act like they want your business.

My boss had called this store a couple weeks ago looking for a bright hot pink paint and was told…read morethey don't carry it but they can create the color, so I went in to go inquire about that color. The guy at the counter was extremely rude and was unwilling to help me AT ALL! I brought a picture of the color I wanted and he told me they couldn't match the color from a picture, that they needed the paint color to get the color and I said how am I supposed to get the paint color when we're trying to CREATE the color? He had ZERO interest in helping me and just kept repeating that he needs the paint color over and over. It would've been different if he said "we can't match a photo but let's see what we can do to get the right color for you" Not just keep telling me you need a paint sample, over and over. CANT BRING YOU THE PAINT SAMPLE IF IT DOESNT FICKING EXIST!!! Thats the whole reason behind CREATING colors!!!! You need to explain to your customers what can be done to achieve the color they want, not just keep repeating the same unhelpful lines over and over again. Your customers don't speak paint, this isnt our career, your job is to HELP US find what we're looking for! I stormed out of there and will never come back. That man should DEFINITELY not be working with ppl and should take his stank ass attitude somewhere else.

I had called this location in search of a particular wood stain because the place where I normally…read morewent to didn't have enough gallons as I needed. A representative named Sherry (I hope that's spelled correctly) answered the phone and she told me that they had several gallons of the stain I was looking for. I told her that I was going to stop by the next day and she said she would have them shaken and ready for me when I got there. I wanted to right this review because her customer service was outstanding. I highly recommend this location and I will be coming back in the future for all of my paint/stain needs even though it is further away from where I normally go to.
