I can't tell you how extremely helpful it is to view a paint sample that doesn't require a magnifying glass. It's life changing! The staff here is so friendly and helpful! The store is open and clean. There is also plenty of parking right in front of the store. I highly recommend this place for not only your paint but they also sell window treatments and offer decorating services. Check them out if you haven't already!

Painting, lawn and garden, hardware, tools, grills and barbecue, electrical, and plumbing supplies are all very well represented on their shelves. Parking is never an issue at Ace because it's located in the very spacious Canton Village Plaza. So, if you ever need a can of spray paint, garden hose, specialty light bulbs, barbecue sauce or wood chips for your smoker, you'll definitely find it at Ace. Like the old jingle said, "Ace is the Place".

This is a well stocked and organized store located in the Canton Village Plaza. There were plenty…read moreof parking in front of the building. They had grills and outdoor patio furniture on their lawn since it's the spring season. When we walked in, we were immediately asked if we needed help with finding something. We were looking for exterior paint and the employee walked over and showed us the types of paint they had and was very informative. The prices were a little more than the big box stores but it is family owned, local, and has everything we needed for home repairs/upgrades. They have two locations, Canton and West Hartford. They offer paint recycling. If they don't have the product in stock, they will order it for you since they are affiliated with the Ace Hardware warehouse; the warehouse carries over 80,000 items. They offer many services in-house such as key cutting and propane fills. When you join the Ace Rewards, you can earn rewards with every purchase. Overall, a great asset for the community.

My favorite shopping is for holidays. They're one of the few stores to have classic leaf pumpkin bags for Halloween. You can drive around the building behind the old Arrow pharmacy (I think it's a liquor store now) or if you're coming down route 4, make the hazardous left from the main road. There is plenty of parking when you do get into the lot though.

I just love having Rachel and Titian there, they are so helpful. Nice to see coworkers communicate so well and sharing tasks. If one mixes paints the other helps suggest other supplies. I visit often, and go in confident that Rachel will be there smiling and full of life, helping me accomplish my goal. They definitely make my life easier, and that is why I will keep going back.

Needed a quart of paint for some touch up. Brought in a paint chip to see if they could match…read more Since I had peeled the chip there was some residual (and different color on both sides)I was clear which color I wanted. When I got home I realized they had mixed the other color mistakenly. I get it. Mistakes happen. I went back the same day, brought another chip and showed the same person that had mixed the original batch what had happened. They acknowledged the error and mixed a new batch but insisted that I had to pay full price for the new quart. Since he wasn't the manager he wasn't authorized to give me "free" paint.

So that by itself makes Besse's the ultimate painter's destination in Torrington - well, DIY-painter, that is. They know their stuff here, are very friendly and have just about everything you need to paint anything in their relatively small store. Parking is a bit problematic at times, but it's not a big deal. Great painting resource.

I…read morerecently had a color matching challenge with the stain for my deck, and Ethan and Claudia rose the occasion in a big way. My deck and fence hadn't been stained for 10 years, the fence was still in good shape, but the deck needed a serious refresher. However, the new shade of stain with the same name made by the same manufacturer wasn't the same as when we last used it - apparently, they changed their formulation from oil to latex - might that be why? Anyway, I pestered the c**p out of Ethan to try to make the colors match, and he gallantly gave it his best effort in a one-hour engagement - where I clearly had worn out my welcome, though he didn't let it show - and got it close, but it still wasn't the same. I went back later on in the day with my wife - the one with the keen eye for colors - and Claudia patiently worked with us to try different shades in different brands. We found one that was closer, but still not a match. But when I mixed a gallon of that with the original 5-gal I started with, it matched very well. Problem solved, and the story comes to an end but for my repeated praise for these two young sales professionals that were clearly well trained and have a bright future ahead of them. Kudos to Ethan and Claudia at the Watertown Ace Hardware store!
