I normally don't post reviews but with the help I received recently from them was incredible! We bought a gallon of paint 5years ago and was in desperate need of finding the exact color. I can't believe why I didn't ask for his name but he was very patient and eager to help me find the right match. He did his research and asked me some questions and later did you know? He found the exact color! I highly recommend this place because not only are they helpful but they sure are very knowledgable! Thanks again for finding my Yellow Squash Eggshell paint!!! We are very happy with the result! read more

I live in the neighborhood and have shopped here for ten years but I'm done. I needed to replace a burned-out $5 300W halogen lightbulb. I came here to pick one up a few days ago and was advised instead to buy a 150W bulb because 300W would be too bright. Brought it home, installed it, and it didn't work. No big deal. So I came back to return it today - in the middle of my workday, because their hours are so restricted. In a normal store, you just switch out the defective bulb; quick and dirty. Not here - the clerk's aggressive line of questioning made clear he didn't trust me in the least. Clerk: How do you know the bulb doesn't work if you didn't open the package? Me: The package is open - see? You just didn't see where I tore it open. Clerk: Did you touch the bulb when you were installing it? Me: No, I wore gloves like you're supposed to do. [Clerk pulls out a massive magnifying glass to read the fine print on the back of the package.] Clerk: Aha! It says here, 'Do not install if the lamp is hot.' Was your lamp hot? Me: No. I was replacing a bulb that burned out days ago and the lamp hadn't been used. [Clerk walks to a shelf and picks up a utility light that uses a similar bulb. He spends several minutes opening it up but doesn't test the defective bulb in it. He pulls out the 500W bulb that was packaged with the utility light.] Clerk: Do you just want to take this bulb? Me: No, that's a 500W bulb and my light is a 300W light. Clerk (triumphantly): What? Then why'd you buy a 150W bulb? (Waves defective bulb in the air.) Me: Because when I bought it the guy here, at this hardware store, told me to buy it. I was following the advice of your staff. [Clerk glares at me.] So I said forget it, I just came here to replace a $5 bulb, not lose half my workday and get interrogated to boot. From now on I'm buying my hardware at Home Depot or Amazon. Say what you will about supporting the spunky little local stores - I can't deal with this again. read more

I was impressed with their customer service here. They were very through and I would definitely come here over Home Depot any day of the week. read more

I have driven by this place hundreds of times and never even noticed until I needed a hardware store and found it on yelp. I like that they have a huge parking lot and the store seem well organized. I needed some keys to be made and they didn't have all but the guy that works there was nice enough to recommend the locksmith down the block. They seem to specialize in paint but you could find most items that any hardware store sells. read more

Tsigonia Paint is the largest Benjamin Moore retailer in Hudson County and their staff is very knowledgeable. They take the time to ask questions and learn about your project before making a reccomendation. I bought two gallons of paint here for my bedroom, and I am very satisfied with the color and the service. I used a 10% off coupon that I received in the mail to pay the contractors' price for my purchase. A great deal from a great place. read more

Great local paint shop that sells Ben Moor.

Knowledgeable staff, large inventory of Benjamin Moore paints and they sell lumber too. The prices are reasonable and the service is great. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Very nice hardware store. Maybe family run? Everyone was nice and knowledgeable. They didn't have the item we were looking for so they gave us several suggestions of other places to try. read more

Prices are very good. I needed a custom color matched and their match was perfect. Best part was once I made the initial order, they did all the subsequent orders over the phone. Paid by credit card and the painting contractor picked up the paint--didn't have to lift a finger! BTW, their competitor on Communipaw Av (Brand SW) matched the color and subsequently deleted it in the computer less than a week later (to save storage space, they said). They asked me to make another trip and at that point I went to Tsigonia because it was much closer to Downtown JC. read more

Fantastic customer service - very knowledgable and helpful but they don't hover in that over-attentive way. Especially great if you're not particularly handy yourself and need to know how to do things for the first time. The paint samples here are also a dollar cheaper than the same samples at the Hoboken place that sells Benjamin Moore, on Washington Street. read more

As a lifelong resident of Jersey City, I only first visited Tsigonia a few days ago in search of purchasing Benjamin Moore paint. I called the day before I visited to make sure they were going to be open and what their hours were and spoke to the nicest man on the phone. I had the pleasure of meeting Stanley upon my first trip to the store and it was such an amazing experience. He's so pleasant, helpful, genuine, and knowledgeable. It really took me back in time to experience such true customer service. He made such an impression on me. Stanley walked me through everything I needed, even mentioning things I didn't consider, giving me options to choose from, saying 'we want to make sure we have this right'. In this day and age, where are you going to find someone who actually cares about the color and finish of how you're deciding to paint your home? To me, that caliber of character speaks volumes in the day and age where you're likely to be flagging down someone for help in a store because they aren't around or are glued to a device. Anyway, I ordered the first batch of what I needed from him, and some samples to try. I made my mind up over the week, and called in the rest of my order because I would be arriving for pick up close to their closing time and wanted to be respectful of operational hours. Stanley was so precise, patient, and thorough with my order, 6 different colors and a variety of finishes within them - all to a T. My order was ready and accurate, all waiting to be paid for by the time I arrived. This man is truly such a role model for customer service, for this business, and the human race. Stanley, you are an angel. read more

I was driving by and I needed a few things from the hardware store so I decided to stop. This place is VERY expensive. (and not in the best area) I mean many items were twice as expensive as home depo or lowes!! Even the Benjamin Moore paint was a lot more expensive here. I know local hardware stores charge more but double the price? My local hardware store charges 30% more which is fine but I get good customer service. Not sure what the deal is here. read more

I was there for the first time a couple of days ago to buy paint. I know nothing about paint or what I needed. BL was my sales guy and he was wonderful. Everyone in the store was friendly and helpful. They really work as a team! I had to call them back on an unrelated matter, and spoke with Stan. Stan was so helpful and made a great recommendation. Great service. Friendly and knowledgable staff. The store is well organized, clean and very tidy! A+++ experience for me. read more

As a non-profit organization we rely on the support and generosity of other organizations and businesses for help. We reached out to Tsgonia Paint and they were amazing. Our office was in desperate need of renovation. After asking so many paint store and hardware stores for donation, we were at wits end with the word NO. But, God sent us one yes! George and Stanley were great! Thank you so much!!! We are truly grateful and so are the people in the community that we serve. read more

Awesome customer service with Stanley. Really sweet gentleman. Was very patient while I was choosing the colors, showed me the pallets in different lights and brought everything to my car! read more

I bought a couple gallons of paint here back in 2009 and just bought another one since I needed to touch up and it came out looking seamless! Benmoore is the way to go! read more

AS others have said, amazing customer service, especially Stanley! Also great prices on Benjamin Moore, seriously- top notch paint brand.
