Listen, I am busier than a mailman in a tornado and I only write reviews for businesses that…read moredeserve either awesome reviews, businesses that have a rating I find perplexing, or businesses that should be burned to the ground as a matter of public safety. I have been going to A & M painting for about 10 years. I f*#4ing hate painting. I would rather donate both lungs to a fish than paint. A & M makes painting so, so much easier. Go to A & M painting or I will write a scathing review about your hygiene habits. In my experience, every great business is great largely because of the people that work there. Scott knows more about paint than Van Gogh. He's also incredibly unlikely to cut off his ear and send it to you. He will spend time with you. He will find both the correct product for you and set you on the path to an efficient, beautiful project. You have no idea how much I hate painting. I would rather have all my teeth pulled and replaced with those blue sanitizer things at the bottom of urinals than paint. A & M makes painting more like getting a bad papercut with a tax bill, so relatively tolerable. I wish I could show you what I am looking at. I asked Scott to match a paint the previous tenant of my office left for the walls. (I should mention that the previous business failed because the idiot owner bought paint at Lowe's, where, I $h!t you not, I was recently told that there are two quarts in a gallon. True story.) Scott hooked me up with a paint that is the exact - EXACT - color match. That's not the only thing though. He knows I hate painting - mostly because of the anti-painting protests I hold downtown once a month or so - so he gave me a paint so high in quality that the job only needed one coat. Really. The whole room, 12' x 15', took me two hours, including sanding, washing, taping, and painting. I f*#$ing hate painting so much. It's like this for me: Boko Haram, painting, lobbyists, Bill Laimbeer, people that don't like Thanksgiving... I should mention that the first time I went to A & M was because I asked a professional painter where I should go, and he told me A & M. Keeping with this train of thought...Ever go into a sushi place and you're the only American there? Everyone else is Japanese? Well, I have. I was in Japan, but that doesn't matter. Half of the people in A & M are professional painters. Follow the pros to find other pros. In this case, if you follow the pros, you won't end up at Lowe's; that's because 4 quarts per gallon Scott knows, does and bros. So, skip the Homer "DOHs" and go to A & M, because painting blows. Your job will come out much better and be much easier. Do it. Rumi tip of the day: A female deer is a doe. Plural is "does."

In particular, the girl working the paint section of the store was very knowledgeable and was more than happy to answer any questions I had about paint, primer and best painting practices. I'm a thorough amateur at this, so all of the assistance she provided was invaluable. I found the prices to be a bit higher than Lowe's/Home Depot but to me the service more than made up for the couple dollars I would have saved. I will be back.

So, deep inventory, knowledgeable, friendly service, and pricing no worse than Amazon's (I prefer to support my local Maine neighbors, when I can, but paying a stiff premium can be daunting.

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!!!!
