The Store Manager himself dropped everything to help resolve a difference of opinion my team had on which color would work best with the new flooring I had ordered. He could see the subtle color differences we were missing. And, he had a helpful Historic Paints brochure which showed me all the paint colors in the Retro look we were going for and in the flooring sample I brought in. Wow! What service!

My eye is not trained to easily see what colors will look good together when magnified on a house. I needed a lot of support in finding colors that I would be happy with. Kevin was patient. He never appeared frustrated or inconvenienced by my multiple trips into the store to find the right colors. Kevin was very personable. While he worked to support my quest, he felt like a friend that I was happy to see. It made the challenges of finding colors much more pleasant. Kevin's knowledge and skill with color and presentation was the biggest asset in my paint purchase. He understood my style and preferences, then was able to guide me to beautifully successful colors. I love how my house turned out! Though the supply may not be as large at this location as others, the customer service shines far above. Every time I walked in, I was promptly greeted by friendly knowledgeable staff who wanted to help. I did not have the same experience in the Seaside location. I applaud management for the quality employees they maintain.

And he told me that and he has never even come back to look at the problem. He just refuses to come back and even look at it. I paid them $8500 to paint the house and once the check cleared they were gone for good. Terrible. Beware. 3/2/26 - I just read Lance's response to my review.

I just posted an additional picture showing today's date from time.gov and you can see the quality of work I have on my house today.

Scheid wasn't open yet so to bide time I popped into Eco. So glad I did. What a delightful shop. So welcoming. A wonderful mix of "green living and natural health" items. Merchandise is displayed beautifully. I always appreciate it when things are not too crowded. Kristi, the owner, was very helpful without being pushy on what to purchase. I was short on time ... we were eager for lunch. I returned after lunch and this time was greeted by another clerk. I believe her name was Melissa? Said she was originally a customer and was now so happy to working at Eco. I made no major purchases. Just some stocking stuffers (shop year round for those), greeting cards, and scarves. Good prices. Will definitely be back.

I used to work in Seaside and would dread having go to Home Depot. At Ace, I can ask nearly any employee where something is and they will tell my down to within a couple of feet. Good luck finding that at a large box store. Plus, their selection for a store its size, is pretty amazing. The specialty items they have are very impressive. I mean they have a whole aisle for just nuts, bolts, and fasteners. I also find it nice, but this isn't most stores fault they're just protecting their inventory, it's pleasant to not have to ask someone to open up cabinets to buy things because it's all under lock and key. I realize that I could probably get a lot of the things that Ace sells for less online or some place like Home Depot. I don't mind paying more when you get good service and can accomplish your project today to pay a bit more. I don't buy at Ace because I need to, it's because I want to, based on the way I'm treated and that means a lot to me.
