I received excellent service at Skokie Paint and will definitely return to this store for all of my painting needs. Wonderfully kind and professional small business. Very pleased. read more

Great service. Very knowledgeable staff. Quality paint & stains. These guys know their stuff. Also they will custom mix colors to match or compliment your existing colors and keep the custom recipes on file if you need them again. read more

Peter at Skokie Paint has been a huge help on my projects, from drywall repair through the final top coat. With his guidance and the right pro-grade materials, I was able to get a professional-looking result on my first attempt painting two full apartment units, and I stayed on schedule. I can only imagine how much more difficult it would have been relying on the paint departments at big-box stores. I'll definitely be back for future projects. read more

What a great place! Nick and Peter are so helpful and friendly. Helped with suggestions, answered questions - real neighborhood type vibe! Highly recommend! read more

This place stands out. As a person who can literally never pick paint w/o buying like 47 samples, these guys were incredibly helpful, professional, and easy going. I felt very confident that I would find the right paint color. They didn't allow me to Kroger keep buying samples. Instead they told me to just take the color swatches home and see it in all different lights in my home. While I did buy two samples from them, the day before when I went to other store, I bought 6, I was able to find the right color. I will continue to purchase paint from this small business. Nick and Peter are awesome. And they have a rewards program where you get a discount the more paint you buy. Awesome. I have three more rooms to do and I'm so glad that I have these guys to help me along the way. read more

Amazing place! Very knowledgeable about their products while creating a welcoming environment. Support this small business!

The MOST helpful paint store. Peter takes the time to answer questions and provides a service you won't find in a big box store. It's a Skokie gem. read more

Staff was friendly, helpful and paint recommended is superior as noted by my painter. Thanks Nick! read more

I love this paint store in downtown Skokie! Pete is amazing and both his color and paint recommendations are spot on! Why go to a big box or a chain with folks who really can't offer any insight when, for the same price, you can purchase exactly what you need! It's a lot of money and effort wasted if the color or quality is off. Plus, I love the idea of supporting local small business! read more

Great store in Skokie. I was impressed with the customer service they offered. Peter and staff are very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly! Over all a great paint shopping experience. read more

First time purchasing paint I wanted to find somewhere close to my home but paint stores near me had horrible reviews. I did not want my first time picking out paint to be a bad experience because I was already under a ton of stress with the house so I drove to Skokie because I read the reviews and so happy I did. I was greeted by Peter who was incredibly kind and helpful and I was in and out in what felt like less than 20 minutes. I will definitely be back here because of the customer service. Thank you Peter! Love this shop read more

This is the best paint store ever! I was guided to the best product of which I knew not of, advised how to use it (including a perfect paint brush for perfect application) and professional tips causing my project to come out better than I ever thought it could be. Store management saved me many hours with their expert advice. The customer service is absolutely the best and the quality of my product was worth every cent ! I highly recommend this store in Skokie. read more

Peter is fantastic! He is very knowledgeable, he asks proper questions to figure out your vision and cares to understand what you are looking for. He helped my vision come to life. Thank you! read more

Peter was super helpful and knowledgeable. He let me pick out all sorts of color swatches and was available when I needed him. I'll be back when I start my project. read more

Wow! I can't say enough good things about Skokie Paint Benjamin Moore! Peter and his staff could not have been more knowledgeable and helpful! His expertise is specialty paint finishes was terrific and I came away with the perfect finish for my antique desk! Thank you Peter for all the time you spent with me going through many samples to come up with the perfect finish!! read more

Paint at this store is hugely marked up and the paint was not even properly mixed for the color I had requested. Due to this mishap the touch up project made my walls even worse so now I will have to repaint the entire wall but will not be buying Benjamin Moore or from this store in the future. read more

Peter is wonderful! He is very helpful and knowledgeable! Would highly recommend for any paint needs.

First time attempting to stain a table. Decided to try Skokie Paint. Unbelievable customer service and knowledge. He explained the whole process and what to do and what to avoid. They sell high quality products you can't find at a big box store. Saved me time and money. I will never go to a big box store for paint again. Thank you Skokie Paint! read more

We decided to repaint our bathroom vanity and with a lot of help and advice from Peter, we were able to do the job very successfully. He was knowledgeable, patient and just really knows paint! This shop sells high quality paint and offers a huge selection as well. I thought that all paint was pretty much the same, but have now learned that quality truly does make a difference. It's also nice to great customer service as well. Highly recommend this small business! read more

Painting is like photography, just because one paints or takes pix does not make one a painter nor a photographer. I have decades of painting experience but still find myself having to ask a million questions. I always get a pro's pro service at this store highly recommended! read more

Boy did I stumble into a gem! I'm in the process of painting a whole house and arrived in the store with lots of ideas but in great need of direction. Peter and Steve are the artist and the alchemist. They both know their stuff and can guide you with confidence. Peter has been very patient and helpful with my endless musings and revisions and Steve has helped me tweak colors to find just the right shade. They provide high quality customer service and will make you feel well cared for. Though there is a paint store closer to my home, it's worth the drive to Skokie for the quality product and quality care. read more

This is the kind of place that makes you realize what you are missing when you go to a hardware store chain. Sales people are very knowledgeable, and won't try to sell you what you don't need. When I was looking for a semigloss white to paint my inside doors and trim which would hide brush streaks, he suggested Muralo, which worked perfectly. read more

I went here looking for a discounted paint color. They did not have it, but the sales person was so friendly and tried so hard to match the color with his paint mixing machine. Even though he wasn't able to match it exactly, I was very impressed at the great service I received here. I will definitely go back again in the future when I need to purchase other paints or supplies for my home. read more

Being a professional painter, doing this work for 40 years, I can say Steve and his staff are the best.They stay on top of all the newest developments in paint technology, and can advise you as the best kinds of coatings to use for your project. They are always on time with getting my orders ready, when they say they'll be ready, and their prices for their various paint lines, are as competitive as I've found! All things considered, from a professionals standpoint ... I have no reason to shop anywhere else! read more

Highly recommend for personalized and friendly service. I bought Benjamin Moore paint for essentially over half my house here, albeit a more expensive paint than Lowes or Home Depot, it is so worth it b/c of the quality. Additionally, I also have a vintage pink bathroom that had several drill holes and defects in the tile - I spackled them, took in a piece of tile and Steve was great at matching the tile color so that the holes and defects are hardly noticeable. I also would rather spend a little more to support a small business like this than go to the big box stores where they are not nearly as helpful as Skokie paint. read more

My new go-to paint supplies store! Steve's patience, input and knowledge are unmatched. All of which improved my entire project.

Pete, the owner of Skokie Paint, is amazing, very patient, knows his paint, finishes and colors. He walked us through color selection for our house, mixed sample colors so we could apply to our walls to test them out, and gave us the contractor discount since we hired a painter to do the work. Benjamin Moore is a high end paint, and Pete is a high end paint guy!!! read more

I just went to Skokie Paint and Wallpaper to inquire about some Benjamin Moore paint for a touch up paint project. When I walked into the store, no one was there. I waited for about 5 minutes and a man finally came in from the back of the store. I asked about the specific color that I has used previously, however, I could not remember the exact sheen or paint type that I used. The man, who I assume is the owner, made me feel like an idiot for not knowing this information. While I realize that it's important to match the sheen and type, his delivery was very rude and dismissive. I couldn't help but wonder if he would have treated a man in the same manner. I really like to support local stores within the community, however this store will not be getting my business. read more

Today I was reminded why it is that I absolutely love mom and pop stores. The personal service that I received from the owner Steve was unbeatable and just cannot be found at the larger chain stores. He was attentive to my needs and made me feel that he really cared about my painting needs. The store was immaculate, well stocked and clean. And just in case all this wasn't good enough, Steve even helped me out to my car in the rain although I could have quite easily have managed myself with two quick trips to the car. Steve, you've earned yourself a new customer. read more
