Background:
While I generally prefer Benjamin Moore paints for use in my home, I had a project that required me to match a very old McCormick paint color as part of a ceiling repair from water damage. Normally I would not hesitate to repaint the ceiling, but in this case it was part of a utility/laundry room that has a lot ducts blocking portions of the ceiling drywall. So I wanted to do the best I could to paint the drywall repair in the ceiling yet blend it to match the paint I could not reach.
Ellicott City Team McCormik to the rescue:
Tall order and I had little hope since I no longer had a paint code and was sure the paint formulation had changed so much over the last 15 years there was no hope to get a match. But the guys at the Ellicott City McCormick Paints store were an amazing help to me. They knew my development and not only had a pretty good idea what the old paint code probably was, they also had a paint chip I could take home to see if it matched. Sure enough it did and I was able to blend in the paint from the repair with the surrounding and difficult ceiling area.
Great product knowledge, customers service and price.
I tend to like the overall durability and selection of Benjamin Moore paints better for our house decorating needs (hence 4 instead of 5 stars) but these guys were just outstanding at helping out and providing just the right paint solution! read more
