Every single time I've been in this store a different associate has helped me and every single time they have been AWESOME. I hardly ever leave online reviews, but I feel compelled to now. The employees are so helpful, so professional, and so courteous...all of them! If you're looking for painting supplies, definitely shop here. Today, I noticed they have a "now hiring" sign up, so if you know a thing or two about painting and you're looking for employment, work here because you'll love your work environment.

Yes, you'll pay more for their paint than you would at say, Home Depot but it is so worth it…read more Don't believe me? Then try it for yourself! Go to Home Depot and show the guy behing the paint counter a swatch of your granite countertop and ask him what color he would recommend considering you have cherry cabinetry. Then, when he's done laughing at you, go to Waters & Brown and show your granite swatch to Sam and Lauren (I think her name is.) That's what I did and they immediately both thought of the same color, Quahog. So much darker than I ever wanted to go but wow, just the right color. Then Sam suggested Oxygen (a pale blue) for the ceiling and a color called America's Cup for the trim. The America's Cup (an off white) threw my husband into fits of worry. Will it be too yellow? Will it look dirty and dingy? Sam, promised it wouldn't and explained why . . . and he was right. So right, that my husband went back and asked him what color we should paint the adjoining hall, Sam made a recommendation and my husband walked out with that color paint. This is the same husband who would gladly spend months deliberating every decision, no matter how minute!!! So it is no exaggeration when I say that Sam may have single-handedly saved my marriage, or perhaps my husband's life because I was ready to either kill or divorce him. So as we decorate our entire home over, all I can say is thank God for Waters and Brown, and thank God for Sam!!!!

I needed to match the wood color of my garage door and none of the colors offered by Olympic, Bher and even a Benjmin Moore catalog even come close. A web search turned up forum posts of people getting custom deck stain color matching at Sherwin Williams stores, so I went to the nearest one - the Reading location - where I met Dave, the store manager. Dave was fanatastic. Friendly, helpful and totally professional. He spent a few hours over two days custom mixing a stain on a sample board from my deck to a color chip of the garage finish. It looks absolutely fantastic. What a pro and what a great experience. I literally can not recommend this store and Dave highly enough!

Her enthusiasm was contagious, and I left feeling very satisfied and excited. I highly recommend them!

My 3-year-old and I stood waiting quietly for nearly 15 minutes for our turn to be helped. While we waited, my son calmly counted the rolls of painter's tape stacked on a shelf, not running around, just counting and stacking. Completely harmless. Out of nowhere, the employee began verbally berating me for letting my toddler make a mess and "be annoying." I was stunned. There was no chaos. There was no disruption. Just a bored little kid counting tape while we waited for service that never came. The tone was hostile, condescending, and completely unprovoked. If this is how they treat parents with well-behaved children, I can't imagine how they treat anyone else. If you want quality paint and a business that treats customers like human beings, go to the Benjamin Moore in Malden or Ace in Stoneham instead. They're friendly, helpful, and professional -- everything this location is not. This store has lost my business permanently. And we've spent thousands as we've renovated our home over the years. But judging by today, they never seemed interested in earning it in the first place.

Everything was going well until the person supposedly helping me make it clear that she had little/no understanding of the math necessary to measure the area of a wall. At one point I swear she was just punching random numbers into her calculator, then came up with a number that was about 40% over what it should have been. She didn't know her product lines, was patronizing, and just gave off the attitude that being there somehow interrupted whatever is was that she does when not helping people on the sales floor. At that point I determined that taking my business elsewhere was probably the best course of action. They didn't seem too fazed about that - I suppose it happens frequently.

Carlos was incredible--he went out of his way to help me find the perfect paint. I was debating between several colors, and he patiently walked me through the process step by step. From explaining undertones to how lighting affects color, he made what felt like a stressful decision so much easier. Growing up, painting meant grabbing whatever was around and slapping it on, drips and all. But when you're working on your dream home, everything matters--and Carlos understood that. What really stood out was the whole team. I've grown accustomed to walking into businesses where people barely acknowledge you. Not here. Everyone was kind, attentive, and genuinely eager to help. That level of service is rare and appreciated. Ask for Carlos--you'll be happy you did. If you're in the area and want expert advice and outstanding customer service, Home & Decor is the place to go.

The person I spoke to said deliveries are only made on Wednesdays and Saturdays and that someone would call me Saturday May 31 to let me know when the delivery would be ready. It's now 7pm and Ace closes at 5pm. No one has called, no delivery has been brought to the house. I REALLY wanted to give my business to someplace local, but this is ridiculous. I have cancelled my order and unfortunately won't be using this Ace Hardware in Woburn ever again. If an order is placed with a delivery day that you don't deliver on, you should contact the person placing the order and inform them of such. Extremely disappointing.

After getting blank stares at every hardware store in the Cambridge/Somerville/Watertown/Arlington area, talking with the fella at MS&TC was refreshing. I told him what I was looking for, and he immediately: a) knew what I was talking about, and b) knew they had it. Then I asked if they were open to the public, and he reassured me that if I was a cash-carrying member of society, I was welcome. When I arrived, I was a little unorganized and scatterbrained (still in shock that someone actually had the things I was looking for). The guy behind the counter wasn't overly friendly, but he was able to retrieve every single thing I rattled off from the back room in 30 seconds or less. When I was done, I had a handful of metric nuts, bolts, washers and specialty hardware -- and my total was less than $3. Metric Screw & Tool Co. for life.
