This review is a very quick shoutout to Ariel for helping me with the right shades of white (one for my kitchen drawer panels and the other for the bathroom vanity panels). I got them the panel boards (one from each, to match the paint) on Thursday evening and was able to pick them on Saturday morning and the paint came out to be just perfect. She had left detailed steps for the entire process (since i had messed up the drawer panels and needed to get rid of the old paint before setting the new one in) which i definitely appreciated. Kevin as usual being super helpful, guided me with the options for a couple of foam rollers, hand held pails and a few other accessory items that i needed for my project. All in all a fantastic experience and absolutely recommend the store for all your paint needs. read more

This location seems just fine in terms of stock and a well- lit spot to look at colors, but the half pint paint samples were a little more expensive here than at another Benjamin Moore store just a few miles away, and the color selection help was more limited. read more

Went in after receiving a coupon in the mail for free color samples and was surprised by a few things: - Coupon doesn't work on color match samples - Color match is at least a pint size - Takes at least 2 days to do the color match Home Depot, Lowes, SW, etc can do it right away and they have the small color sample sizes. I think the sales person was just trying to upsell me in order to fulfill her monthly quota. I get that we're all trying to make money in this economy but don't waste people's time. Scam location. read more

This is the best paint store I have ever been to. They know their stuff and they make sure everything is perfect!! The customer service is absolutely OUTSTANDING! I would highly recommend coming here for any paint needs! I have never dealt with such great people before! I come out of my way to keep coming here since it's so amazing! I would recommend dealing with Dave and Ariel they have been a pleasure to work with! Best pricing by far! read more

Benjamin Moore Creative Paint - Great deal on brushes! - Paint Stores Near Me - San Jose, California

Good customer service, knowledge personal. I came to this store on a Saturday 4:30pm because the one close to my place was closed. I had a good experience shopping here. read more

This is our go to place for wallpaper! The girls here are super helpful & knowledgeable. Shopping for wallpaper can be overwhelming but the girls can direct you to certain books that fit your design vision. We purchased designer wallpaper from them on two occasions. Both of our accent walls came out stunning. Our house decor is unique with the two beautiful accent walls. The wallpaper is modern yet elegant. The wallpaper are very high quality with a designer brand name. We are extremely satisfy and happy that we found a local shop that still carries wallpaper! read more

I have been going to Benjamin Moore Creative Paint on Camden Avenue for many years. The customer service is outstanding. Both Ariel and Matt have helped me a great deal in selecting paint colors. I bring photos and samples (e.g., tile, bedding, fabric) to the store and Ariel helps me select the best colors for my project. Matt is usually at another store location but he has done a terrific job in custom matching paint. They are both fabulous!!! They have a great eye for color. And, of course, Benjamin Moore is the top quality paint! Plus, the small sample cans of paint colors are a real bargain and extremely helpful in finding the perfect color. read more

Complete disregard for customer service by the store manager. I came in a rush 10 minutes before closing to select a paint as my painter advised last minute they would prefer Ben Moore over Behr and they start painting my cabinets tomorrow morning. I chose some samples and asked for Arielle's advice for one other gray color. She said "I'm closed, I can't help you". It wasn't only the words used but the tone and the attitude behind it. I've never been treated with such disregard. She advised she is the store manager. I'm working from home with two kids distant learning and if I could have come in earlier, I surely would have. I will not have my painter use Benjamin Moore on my project as a result. Spend your money in a store that has respect for their customers and a higher caliber of employees. read more

The gentleman who helped us out was so thorough and knowledgeable! He was very kind and we will be returning soon!

The Dunder Mifflin of paint stores, and I mean that in the best way possible. Friendly service, knowledgeable staff, a very personal touch.

Love this place. Great customer service, competitive rates on BM paints plus very helpful. Steve and team go above and beyond call of duty to provide exceptional service read more

Benjamin Moore Creative Paint - A partial view of their wallpaper shelves - Paint Stores Near Me - San Jose, California

I have shopped at this paint store for many years and have worked with Ariel and Steve in the past and they have been very helpful. Unfortunately, Steve has moved and currently working are Dave and Matthew and neither of them are helpful in selecting paint colors nor do they want to try and help. It is very disappointing... makes me wonder if they really want to try and sell paint. I think they simply want to mix and go. If you need guidance on paint colors, this is not the place to go. read more

Benjamin Moore paint is a top quality paint, so it the paint of choice for us. The kicker here is which store to buy the paint from, and we always look for good customer service, if we are spending money somewhere , we wish to be treated respectfully . The staff at this store is so helpful and always professional. Highly recommended. read more

Almaden Paint & Wallpaper - what has happened to you? You used to be our go-to place for shades and paint and wallpaper but now you've turned cranky and mean. The gals in the design area are sour and one of our favorite fellows has departed. Time to look for a replacement. read more

They have full range of Benjamin Moore paint, offer contractor pricing to everybody on Aura, and give out large color chip samples to play with, while you decide. I called around, their Aura pricing is the best from all the other BM stores in the area. Service people are attentive and patient. If I were to dock them for anything, is for not having every color I desire in a $3 sample size but given thousands of color combinations BM offers I guess that might be too much to expect :( UPDATED: Just when I thought I couldn't love this place more - they will make you a custom color. So when you have no idea what you want they'll talk to you and make you a custom blend to try out. Same price! read more

Add to my previous review, I noticed that they charged the same exact product with different prices. For one GL ceiling paint, one day is $43.19 GL and next day is $47.99 GL. I specifically asked for the same thing when I made the purchases. On the receipts, they have the same number. Price difference is not huge, just very confusing. read more

I went to creative paint today to purchase paint for my bathroom and living room remodel. I received great help from Mathew and Ariel. They were very knowledgeable guiding me what type of paint to buy for each room explaining options i could use and the proper amount to buy. I will return for my next project when I'm ready to paint again. read more

I thought we had very friendly and helpful advice when I purchased supplies for a painting project. The manager looked up the specs for the crystalline waterproofing wall coating I was painting to see if it needed a primer. He even had the primer tinted to make covering easier. Later, when I discovered I mistakenly got the wrong paint color, the manager was nice about exchanging of the unopened finish coat cans, though he was unable to accommodate the an exchange of the unopened tinted primer cans. I appreciated that he did what he could. read more

Excellent paint options, wallpaper, window treatments and decorating ideas. Very knowledgable staff and quick to help you when you enter the front door. It helps that they are open on Sunday, when people have time to work on house projects. read more

I had a great experience at Almaden Paint and Wallpaper. Dave from Boston hooked me up and the owner, Steve, matched my paint color PERFECTLY. This store's paint matching system isn't computerized like the other stores around but Steve's eye worked out great for us. This store had super nice people too. read more

Service here is excellent! Friendly and helpful. My reason for the 3 star is that they do not price anything in the store, so you can't go in and compare brushes or rollers or anything without waiting to ask someone how much everything is. The cheapest roller is actually in the middle, not on the bottom....I feel like I was a marketing experiment, trying to get me to buy something. The paint is not even priced, so when I ordered a quart I was shocked at the cost and almost left even after they mixed it. read more

Was given some awesome customer service at creative paint. When it came to matching an existing color - they were dead on! Also, they have a great eye when it comes to color and how it reads. For example, one swatch they said had a little blue in the "misty gray" sample from Benjamin Moore - and when we painted all walls - yes it sure did have a little blue. They also have a ton of wallpaper samples that other customers were being helped with. read more

Wonderful service! Went in to get paint for my bedroom, wasn't exactly sure what I needed. Matt was very helpful and took the extra time to answer questions! read more

I had a great experience in having the women in the wallpaper department at Almaden Paint And Wallpaper help me pick out a pattern for my kitchen. Shannon was especially helpful with this difficult task. I would recommend anyone looking for wallpaper to go to Almaden Paint And Wallpaper. One other suggestion, do not buy wallpaper on the Internet. The colors can be off and your wallpaper may not be returnable.It's better to go to a wallpaper store so you can look at the book to see what you are actually getting. F Crowley read more

I have been going to this store for years and the customer service never changes..it is always good! Recently Matthew helped me pick out a color for my kitchen and I ended up with a color I probably wouldn't have chosen for myself but I love it! KUDOS to a great store and staff! Diane read more

This place is great. First of all their staff is great at customer service - they really do try to assist you. Secondly and one of, if not my favorite part - they have Marsha who will totally help you with everything from paint to curtains, to furniture and rugs - she knows everything! I venture to guess how difficult some of our choices would have been without her keen eye and sense of style/color. read more

LOVE this place! We have been coming here for 20 years and have always experienced excellent customer service. We went last weekend for help with picking a paint color for my daughters nursery. I couldn't be happier with the recommendations and it has turned out perfect! read more

They have the best price for Benjamin Moore aura around the area. Plus their service is fantastic. They are very patient and helpful. For example, one clerk gave me useful suggestion that helped me saved money on not buying unnecessary expensive paint. read more

Absolutely love this place. They have an incredible selection of wallpaper books, which they also let you check out. The staff is also amazingly helpful and always willingness to help you pick out items for your design needs!! read more

I have always come here for my paint. Matthew And Ariel are always so helpful with all my crazy projects I come in with. Highly recommend this place if you ever need any color advice. read more

This is my neighborhood Benjamin Moore paint store. These guys are awesome. They always have good advice and the quality of paint is so different than Home Depot stuff. read more

Great customer service...great color matching!!

Almaden Paint and Wallpaper is the best. They have a great eye for color, guiding you towards what you want. They do custom colors, teach painting techniques if you ask questions (not in a class setting, but at the counter), all of the employees are great to work with, they have large paint "chips" for all of their colors that they will let you take home, and they do small paint samples of any color you want to see. I've been using them for the last eight years and have never felt like I should go somewhere else for help. They're so knowledgeable, personable, and "friendly" professional. I highly recommend them. read more

I have always been a fan of Benjamin Moore paint. Almaden Paint and Wallpaper is great resource for paint and everything else you need to get the job done. Most of all the staff is knowledgeable and interested in helping select colors. Marsha is a color "guru". She made several suggestions that are perfect for our home. read more

I would highly recommend going to Creative Paints due to the awesome customer service and color selection. I have been working with Shannon for the past 4 months and she is awesome!!!! She helped me pick out paint colors for the interior of my house. She was patient, great listener and had a tremendous amount of enthusiasm. Paint colors do not come easy to me and she was patient with me no matter how many times I came into the store. As she got to know me, she even pulled me out of my comfort zone and we came up with colors that I absolutely would have never considered. I embraced the new colors and ideas she presented to me. Shannon never pressured me and that is what I enjoyed about walking in the store. Matthew is the store manager and he also always welcomed me with a warm smile. Matthew has a world of knowledge and he was just as helpful. Thank you Creative Paint! read more

This is the place! Every wallpaper ever made is here in a book that you can check out.They call while you are there to make sure its in stock.They are also very helpful about what will work and know their stuff.They have wonderful color experts for paint.Both with color selection and how to cover difficult surfaces. read more

We ordered blinds from Creative Paint and when I tried to install them it became apparent that they were the wrong width. Sometimes problems happen but one of my measures of a store is how they resolve them. These guys immediately contacted the manufacturer, had the correct blinds expedited, followed up with us to ensure we were aware of when they new blinds would arrive, followed up with the manufacturer to make sure our order was given priority, contacted us when the delivery didn't arrive as planned, etc. Superb service and customer care. Blinds are now installed and my wife loves them. read more

I live in Sunnyvale and drive to San Jose to get decorating help from this great store. I have worked with Marsha on two projects, and she is wonderful. She gives me great ideas, shares her expertise on anything she can and saves me so much time and energy because I wouldn't know where to start. All the employees there are so helpful and great to work with, too, plus their products are the best. read more

We just got our home interior colors done. I made several trips to this store to finalize the colors. Excellent Customer service. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. I especially worked with Joyce and Steve and both have helped us decide perfect colors for our home ! read more
