With just a brief flash of my lightbulb, a staff member at the counter pointed me to the wall of lightbulbs to replace it in the next room. Even as I was trying to figure out what to get, I could hear her helping the next customer with his own home item question. Looking around the store, there is probably something you will need in there not now, but maybe in the future. When the time comes, a friendly staff member will likely be there to help you navigate the shelves and find it. We have come here on other occasions for paint and screws. True Value is conveniently located in a street with many well loved businesses in Dupont Circle. Maybe get dinner with a side of hardware store? There is a bus stop a couple blocks down and it's a 10 minute walk from the circle.

After some fiddling, he ask satin or semi-gloss. Semi-gloss I said. Sadly I did not check the receipt. In the end, after shaking, he handed me a gallon (how does quart sound like gallon). Yes, I could have refused but did not want to start my day off angry and the offwhite paint wouldn't go to waste. As a busy property manager I don't want more checked-out employees to supervise.

Their service is superb--from the initial, design phase to installation. Design Manager Judith Hunter provides exceptional service. She knows her product line, is meticulous and imaginative, and willing to listen to the customer and work out a just-right solution. Judith helped us identify the right solar shades for our windows and size them correctly. She custom designed a room-darkening shade solution for our bedrooms that left our mini-blinds intact (so that we could have the privacy from blinds during the day and the sleep-inducing darkness of opaque shades at night), but retains a streamlined look. I cannot recommend her and Monarch more highly.
