I left without making a purchase. Today I needed measure marked plastic paint containers: all sizes out of stock. Sea sponge: In-stock at $30 each, (I purchased two earlier today from another locally owned paint store for $7.99 each - I'm heading back there now). I'd like to see this shop succeed. The location is great and the staff are helpful. Hopefully this review will be received as constructive criticism prompting improved stock management and discontinued price gouging.

I needed paint to match my exterior stucco wall but I was only able to get several pathetically small pieces to collectively amount to about to an inch of color sample (and I was cringing bc I was really messing up the wall to get them). Eddie said it was definitely on the small side, but he thought he would be able to do it. Well, I picked up the paint today and I just watched the paint dry on a large test spot (yes, I was that impatient and invested - I had to redo the whole repair bc both the patch and paint needed to be redone; btw thanks to the other guy also there yesterday who convinced me to get the real stucco repair compound instead of the acrylic patch I used the first time) and the match is FREAKING PERFECT. Eddie exactly matched the paint using a teeny-tiny-all-in-pieces-bare-minimum sample for STUCCO, not something easy like drywall. I am seriously so grateful. If Eddie tells you he needs time to get it right, you give that artist all the time he needs. Like I can't see where I painted at all. It's PERFECT. Did I mention that it's perfect? No? Well, it is. Thank you, Eddie!!!

I would not go anywhere else for paint. If you search Benjamin Moore on Yelp, there's a lot of…read morelocations, but it's almost only a hardware store with a much smaller selection, and they'll often insist they can only make you a quart size sample. House of Color has a huge selection of Benjamin Moore, with corresponding paint 'chips'. I'm the kind of person who can spent 2 hours deciding on a white. There's always someone behind the counter to help you. I recommend taking the cards outside where there isn't artificial light. Every painter I have worked with recommended Benjamin Moore. So go. BTW, I went with Kendall Charcoal for exterior wall, dark enough to cover previous colors

The hubby and I are redoing a bathroom and I read SW was one of the best paints out there. I was originally just gonna buy a gallon of the white and a sample of the gray blue looking lullaby later in the month, but due to the timing of the sale, a coupon, and a CC offer, I would have spent about the same amount of money, so why not just get a galloon of each. I ended up using a $10 coupon and got a $20 cash back offer, so my total was $106.64. Normally, each gallon is $88.49 per, so x2 that woulda been $176.98. Plus tax and eco fee, that's more than $190. Not a bad deal if I say so myself. Tho SW seems to offer a lot of deals and coupon codes, so I'd do a few searches before purchasing. This location is small, but seems to have all the main paint store offerings. Walls of color samples, panel stickers for purchase, etc. Tho when there 2+ people, it can feel really slow since there was only one person helping everyone out. And some customers take a while. I was only here to do a pickup order, but he was already helping someone out, so I told him I'd go look at the paint samples. When he was done, someone else tried to get in line, but luckily he remembered I was next and helped me. Not sure if they just staff one person at a time, but if not and there's someone in the back, maybe they can help with customers when there's more than two in the store. We had 4 people in the store and I was second on line. From arrival to leaving with paint, it took about 20 mins, which I think is waaay too long for an order placed online for pickup. Glad this store exists when I want to see paint samples in person, but I wish it was faster. REVIEW #3484

Today 9/28/24 I visited the location only needed to grab some sundries, while there I was greeted by a young employee ( I don't kno their pronouns) and they proceeded to help me. After I was done they then asked an older lady to open something up for they can cash me out. The older lady didn't seem to want to help the younger employee, they asked her again to open it up again and the older lady said some things that I didn't think was ok. The older lady stepped up and proceeded to cash me out. As being a customer and a person who lead a team ; after reading the older lady badge and it said assistant manager,I do not think the older lady handled the younger employee with respect. Once again this was at the Oakland location and I think if she has a problem teaching she does not need to be in management.
