I had a small furniture repainting project that I needed advice for, and Steve was very patient with me and helped me figure out all the materials and sequence of tasks. Very friendly laid back environment. Highly recommend ! read more

This service in this paint store is really great! They are so knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to paint projects. They have helped me use the right products for the job on numerous occasions. This kind of service is hard to find these days. read more

They are the sweet people I have ever worked with... They are very Knowledgeable on their products. They have a clean nice store. If you need to find anything they will help you find it and if they don't have it they will get it for you... They are very reliable loving people and I will recommend them at all times, to go back to their store. They have good prices on everything and are reasonable. read more

Recently went in looking for wood stains and was helped by Carlos. I can't say enough good things about him. He took his time, showed me my options and was very knowledgeable about the products. The reason I am not rating this place any higher is because of one specific employee who was extremely rude to other customers while I was in there. He even talked about them very loudly after they had left the store, in front of other customers! If you choose to use this paint store, I would highly recommend seeing Carlos read more

Knowledgably staff. Best Paint Store in Santa Barbara County hands down. You can phone in an order and have it ready within an hour. They are efficient and always willing to help me with nay of my projects! read more

If Colleen were to be cloned 3-4 times, and they could stock a few more quality products and items, this paint store would be among the best. BUT..... when employees are clueless about their products, and don't know enough to ask Colleen, you might as well head to Home Depot where most employees know little about anything. I started coming here for certain painting projects several years ago. It was the excellent advice and service I got from Colleen, as well as her can-do attitude in remedying things they occasionally got wrong, that have kept me coming back... Lately their color matching skills have been extremely lacking... As in, TOTALLY WRONG not even in the ballpark. Steve could learn a thing or two from his wife when it comes to costumer service too. Seems foolish to become defensive about a color that is totally wrong, when he has yet to see that color (and how obviously and laughably wrong it is). Anyway, Im tired of dealing with this place, so I will resign to losing the money I spent here and just buy new paint elsewhere. For quality paint and excellent service head to Dunn Edwards. In a pinch, I even had Sherwin Williams match a couple of colors perfectly and on very short notice. By the way, if Colleen were to run every aspect of this business all the time, I'd give this place 5 stars. Since most of the time this last year they have been WAY sub par I have to give the business 3 stars (two for Colleen since she is basically carrying this business on all fronts, and one for potential). read more

As a small business owner, I also like to support other small businesses because the quality of customer service and attention to detail. Unfortunately my experience at Goleta Valley Paint was disappointing. I purchased 6 single white paint gallons from GVP and one of the paint gallons I left with wasn't the white color that I ordered. When I found out about the error I went back to exchange it for the correct color I ordered and paid for. When I got to the store and explained the situation, the young male associate who was there immediately accused me of tinting the paint and changing the product in order to get a free gallon of paint. The customer service I received was unwarranted and disrespectful, as a result I wont be returning. read more

Goleta Valley Paint is to paint stores as "Cheers" was to bars. It's friendly. Service with a smile. People know your name, or will soon, if you're a new customer. I am a contractor who has been going there for 25 years and right from the get go, as I was still learning the trade, they were honest, patient, and most of all genuinely helpful, a trait particularly helpful to home owners, I think. Steve and Colleen as well as Ryan and Carlos are an increasing rare breed in terms of integrity and their knowledge. Plus, of course, they've got a great selection of paints and sundries. I recommend these guys highly. read more

Best service and knowledge. I always try to work with owners Steve or Colleen for any projects that I have. They truly are great people. We have a local, family business down the street from their store and they always provide service with a smile! Whether it's a project for my house or our business, they are the best at what they do with fair prices. They have an efficient computer system that documents the paint you purchased and what room it was for so whenever I need a refill, they have it on-file. A+ read more

Steve has been in the painting supply business for over 40 years, since well before he and Colleen bought Goleta Valley Paint. I have never come across paint store owners who are more knowledgeable or helpful than Steve and Colleen have always been. This business has been a very successful part of the Santa Barbara/Goleta community for many years. Highly recommended! read more
