They know the ins and outs of all of it. My husband is a professional high end painter and chats it up with the employees regularly. "They're so helpful, albeit arrogant" he says. When I go in to order paint, I get a whole other attitude and standoff-ness with no chat. Know-it-all comes to mind. I've heard them talk down to a kid getting paint matched for his mom, make fun of their sister for using Valspar, and look annoyed for putting down the newspaper to see what I needed. This is the place to get Benjamin Moore and all the high end specialty finishes like metallic paint (Modern Masters) and chalk paint. They also gave wall covering, but not a huge selection. That said, don't be prepared for excellent customer service and help. The decorating center on the other side may be a bit better.

I was really impressed with the woman that helped me pick out the right paint colors to match what I had designed. Only one color she picked turned out to be much brighter than I wanted.

I wanted some whites but 3 different shades and texture. I looked online and did my research but ended up coming in with barely a clue on what I am actually looking for. There was only one employee working that day but he was very helpful and regretfully, I can't recall his name. Anyway, I asked him about whites and what his thoughts are about the texture for the different surface area I wanted to paint. He offered his suggestions and I went with them after a few minutes of deliberation and I'm really glad I did because I love the selection! He was super helpful and demonstrated a great deal of patience as I paced the store while trying to decide. I wasn't sure how much of each paint I needed so I asked if there is a way they can enter it into their system. He did and I was grateful as I came back the following day for more of my wall color. Purchasing was a breeze and he walked the paint out to my car after mixing and boxing them up. I had a very pleasant experience!

He frequents Reineke for other specialty items and I've heard him "complain" about them. I finally made it in myself, and man, he's right. It's like the employees are holier than thou or something odd. Anyway, I keep going back. Don't be afraid to ask for things you don't see out. The 5 galloon wallpaper paste is in the back. Same with some TWP wood stains. They have most things you'd need and most importantly carry Corona brushes and Festool products. Those are hard to find in STL. They were supposed to set up an account for me long ago. Every time I buy something, the account is not set up. I guess the scrap of paper with my name and phone number on it got lost and they cannot manage to make one again (hello 1980s). I once gave my husbands name while looking for the account and they snapped at me that he works for an "actual company". Ok, then find my damn account. All that said, I'm in here all the time.

We ended up getting a variety of annuals for some of our flower pots and two big bags of soil.
