Bright, clean store with very helpful staff. When trying to decide on an interior paint color for my family room, kitchen and hallways, I went through multiple sample pints as I tried out a range of colors. Basically, 50 Shades of White. Don't worry, it's rated G and family friendly. The nice thing about this store's paint samples is that when you buy a sample pint, they give you a little foam disposable roller and piece of foam core you can try the color on. Tip for other rookies: to truly see the color, paint it on the wall and see how the color changes throughout the day in natural light and artificial. Don't rely on a little swatch of color on foamcore for anything more than an approximate sense of what the color might look like. The store manager, Craig, was always super helpful and patient on my multiple visits. You can even call ahead an order for a color you'd like mixed so that it's ready when you arrive. I finally settled on a Sherwin Williams color a friend found on a designer blog, Gossamer Veil, that they were able to replicate and also tint 50% lighter.

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.

I was told my phone number was flagged because I returned some stock paint and that was the reasoning for my order kept being cancelled and I had to come down to the store to have my id and credit card verified. I've never ordered paint online so this was the first time, and probably last unless Home Depot starts offering better paint. I like this paint, hopefully, Sherwin Williams becomes the paint for Home Depot, the paint is good quality but the customer experience is not worth your time. True Value carries this paint and the experience is different but the online ordering is not as exceptional as Home Depot. Well, my thing anymore with customer experience is, they don't force you into door just go to another location. As mentioned, the manager is really good.

I used to love Frager's. They had a fantastic hardware store at Eastern Market, with a great…read moreselection and wonderful staff, and a paint store down the street that was just the same. Even after I stopped working in the area, I kept going there: where else were you going to find such a great hardware or paint store? So what happened? The last time we went there to buy paint, the employee was unenthusiastic and unfriendly. So we gave it another try this weekend. I walked up to the paint counter. Two employees were having a problem with one of the paint machines, which one of them didn't seem to know how to use very well. I stood there for quite a while. They ignored me. I eventually asked the more experienced-seeming employee if it made sense for me to wait, or if they would be a long time. He launched into an explanation of how he needed to log in. I didn't think that was relevant, and asked again whether waiting made sense. He said yes, it made sense to wait. I stood there a while longer. I asked the same employee how long it would be. He stared at me. I asked if it would be more like 5 minutes or 15 minutes, or some other amount of time. He said it would be at least 15 minutes. I said that he should have told me that a long time ago. He started explaining again about needing to log in. I still didn't care, and explained that it was terrible customer service. Then we left and went to Monarch on Connecticut Ave, where they had excellent customer service. What on earth has happened to Frager's?

There are several great places to buy trees: Eastern Market and the place near National Cathedral, being my favorites. Skip the hassle of buying a second tree - which I did - and go to one of those.
