Listen, I am busier than a mailman in a tornado and I only write reviews for businesses that…read moredeserve either awesome reviews, businesses that have a rating I find perplexing, or businesses that should be burned to the ground as a matter of public safety. I have been going to A & M painting for about 10 years. I f*#4ing hate painting. I would rather donate both lungs to a fish than paint. A & M makes painting so, so much easier. Go to A & M painting or I will write a scathing review about your hygiene habits. In my experience, every great business is great largely because of the people that work there. Scott knows more about paint than Van Gogh. He's also incredibly unlikely to cut off his ear and send it to you. He will spend time with you. He will find both the correct product for you and set you on the path to an efficient, beautiful project. You have no idea how much I hate painting. I would rather have all my teeth pulled and replaced with those blue sanitizer things at the bottom of urinals than paint. A & M makes painting more like getting a bad papercut with a tax bill, so relatively tolerable. I wish I could show you what I am looking at. I asked Scott to match a paint the previous tenant of my office left for the walls. (I should mention that the previous business failed because the idiot owner bought paint at Lowe's, where, I $h!t you not, I was recently told that there are two quarts in a gallon. True story.) Scott hooked me up with a paint that is the exact - EXACT - color match. That's not the only thing though. He knows I hate painting - mostly because of the anti-painting protests I hold downtown once a month or so - so he gave me a paint so high in quality that the job only needed one coat. Really. The whole room, 12' x 15', took me two hours, including sanding, washing, taping, and painting. I f*#$ing hate painting so much. It's like this for me: Boko Haram, painting, lobbyists, Bill Laimbeer, people that don't like Thanksgiving... I should mention that the first time I went to A & M was because I asked a professional painter where I should go, and he told me A & M. Keeping with this train of thought...Ever go into a sushi place and you're the only American there? Everyone else is Japanese? Well, I have. I was in Japan, but that doesn't matter. Half of the people in A & M are professional painters. Follow the pros to find other pros. In this case, if you follow the pros, you won't end up at Lowe's; that's because 4 quarts per gallon Scott knows, does and bros. So, skip the Homer "DOHs" and go to A & M, because painting blows. Your job will come out much better and be much easier. Do it. Rumi tip of the day: A female deer is a doe. Plural is "does."

This past June (2016) I went to Maine Paint (the location at 1037 Forest Avenue in Portland)…read moreseveral times because I was planning bathroom and kitchen repair/refresh/remodels. Maine Paint is one of the few places that carry Lincrusta, a brand of paintable bas relief wallpapers. I asked how much time is needed to order wallpaper from a book - the answer was 3-5 business days. Their interior designer, Janet, is very skilled; she gave me some useful information in regards to choosing wallpapers. I picked the brain of one of the other employees in regards to painting my kitchen cabinets. The wood of the original cabinets are in excellent condition despite being over sixty years old. We painted them with water based paint when I first moved in. Unfortunately it hasn't held up to the wear and tear associated with kitchen work. I asked about "pixalated lacquer" - I'd read about it in the magazine Fine Home Building. The employee indicated that by law they could only sell that particular product to professionals because of the VOCs it emits. He suggested an alternative if I planned to do the work myself: "Advance" by Benjamin Moore or Cabinet Control, another product. He stated that he used to paint professionally and that he preferred "Advance." Although I haven't yet painted the cabinets, I plan to do so this coming spring, and I appreciate that he shared his expertise. They were having a picnic for their customers just outside the entrance that day. I don't know which employee made the hamburgers, but the one I ate was the best hamburger I've had in years!

We have always found the employees considerate, knowledgeable and very helpful. Our plan for this project, was to paint the walls and ceiling of our bedroon. My wife was going to prep the room during the day and I was going to come home Friday evening and paint the ceiling. Then, on Saturday morning, our plan was to knock out the walls. Well, the best laid out plans don't always go the way you want, now do they! We underestimated the amount of paint we needed for the ceiling and checked to see if SW was open late on a Friday evening and they were. I whipped over and picked up another gallon of ceiling paint, which they had in stock. They completely saved the day! I also picked up another gallon of the wall paint. Oh, yeah one more thing, always check the Internet for sales. We did this time and got 30% off!
