Great experience! I found them to be very friendly, honest and knowledgeable! Despite our current environment, the interaction was very hospitable yet still in keeping with the Corona virus physical space mandates. Will definitely go back to them for all my painting needs. read more

I've been using Paint Depot for about 10 years now. I send my clients there because I know they'll be treated with kid gloves. Why? Because they treat everyone like that. There's no attitude in this paint store. What you get is the best paint advice in the city and everything you need for your project. They also keep all your paint colours on their computer listed by address then by the room. So I can call in and ask, 'what colour did I used at soandso's, in the master bedroom and basement?' And, just like magic, they have all the info there. No other paint store has offered this service to me, so kudos to you, Paint Depot, we very much appreciate it. read more

Wow. This is a reason why small business can indeed compete amongst big warehouses full of monkeys. Knowledge, product, service. Stained my deck with their advice. It turned out well, even though it was more work than I had anticipated (spray and walk). The right product, the perfect volume, a reasonable price, all the tools to apply the thing, parking (out back), early open. They keep my paints on record as well, as they have for our housing group. Couldn't be easier. Nice person, too. These guys perfected everything. read more

Painting is a pain in the tin can and we all know it. A fresh layer of Hell is spending all that time prepping and priming only to find out that your paint ain't covering worth a damn. With this in mind, when I'm ready to invest the time and make the effort, I want to go to someone who will fully advise me if I have any questions and will make sure I get the exact paint I need to do what I need to do. I can say without a second's hesitation that Paint Depot is the place. The staff who work there are excellent. They go above and beyond customer service wise. Take this example for instance. When an employee found out I was on foot and planning to drag home two big cans of paint, he actually offered to help me carry the paint... he wasn't fazed when I told him my house is not exactly around the corner. The offer stood. Now that's service plus! In regards to selection and pricing, I think they are well stocked and very competitive. I do like the meticulous records they keep of past purchases. It makes life a lot easier when you want to do touch ups but have no clue what colour or finish you used. read more

This place is the best paint store I have ever gone to and continue to buy all my paint here anytime I have a job to do. The staff is amazing and really know their stuff. They are always happy to help you, even if you don't know what you're doing. Best experience was when I was renovating my bathroom and walked in with nothing more than a floor tile. They spent a long time walking me through all the available options until I found something I liked. Their top secret weapon is that the have a huge collection of their most popular colour choices painted on large canvases so you can actually see what the colour will look like on a wall rather than a small swatch. Extra bonus points go to the fact that they keep all your info on file which makes it really easy to call ahead for re-orders or when you need to do a touch up job years after you remember what the name of the paint was. Prices are very reasonable and they'll take care of all your supply needs. They are open early in the morning and late into the evening. Pro tip: use their back parking lot and come in through the back door to avoid parking on Queen. read more

Still a good place but not like it use to be. And not nearly as busy as it use to be. I think they may have gotten complacent. I found more attitude this time and less friendly. Considering I was the only one in the store on a Saturday and then again on Sunday morning I think developing a more friendly approach might be a good idea. I parked in there single parking space at the back and the woman ran out to inform me that if I was going to be more then a few minutes I would have to move my car. Gee thanks for the warm welcome. This happens a lot when ownership is nearing the end of there desire. They should sell it before they run what was a good place into the ground. Harsh I know but I can't help it. I feel compelled to say it the way I see it. read more

Paint Depot - They bring a lot of color to the neighbourhood. :) Great window displays! - Paint Stores Near Me - North York, Ontario

these guys are so smart. why? because whether i need paint or not, whether i ever will paint or not, i always look forward to what i will see in the window display of this place. why is that smart? its smart because how the hell do you distinguish yourself from other neighbourhood paint businesses, and from corporate giants like home depot? you make window displays that are filled with so much dedication and spirit that you can be sure the folks inside are just as devoted to serving you well. indeed, as you enter paint depot, your wish comes true. the depot has all that you will need to beautify your space including a couple of environmentally safe paint companies. this is a family owned business with another location on o'connor avenue and with that intimacy comes dedicated knowledge and a personal touch. this is exemplified in at least two ways. firstly, how many times have you gone to buy paint and not been happy with the colour you chose because it looks different dried on your wall versus the swatch or even the dollop thats dropped on the top of cans? its happened enough times for me that i appreciate the small canvases that theyve painted with their most popular colours so you can see what it will really look like. the texture of the canvases are extremely close the the finish youll find on a properly painted wall. whats more, they also offer small tubs about as big as a large soup takeout container that have popular colours in them you can try out on your wall so you dont have to waste money should it not be perfect. secondly, to make the experience more perfect, in addition to the technology used to match colours to swatches or to samples youve brought in, the folks here finish the colour mixing by eye, like a painter would. this way you have someone ironing out the loop holes that you are left with when only using computer specs to mix. it is these aspects as well as the friendliness of the staff that would make me come here for all my painting needs, where i can get knowledge and expertise from people who have worked at this for years versus the lukewarm help youll get at a home depot or the like. read more

Paint Depot - Paint Stores Near Me - North York, Ontario

See all

I won't buy paint from anyone else, anywhere in the city. It's that simple. In the 10 years Ive been going to them, I have painted one house and two apartments (the later being waaaaay across the city in Parkdale). They keep everything on file, are super friendly, accommodating and perhaps most importantly, they are PATIENT with colour-phobes such as I was when I first started going to them). I love that several years on, I can rock up, ask for "the colour I painted my living room on Empire" and they will know what it was (and if it's since been discontinued by the manufacturer, they will make it up from scratch.). read more

I really like this store. The staff are super helpful and they keep track of the paint that your purchased, so if you need more, you can call them up, and they can have a batch ready for you to pick. That's some seriously good service. I'm a fan, and it's nice to support a local business, and I really like that they totally know what they are talking about. read more

I've been using Paint Depot for a while now. I know they'll be treated nicely. Why? Because they treat everyone like that. No attitude in this paint store. Best advice in the city and for your project. read more

I am ecstatic to have found this paint store. After my first experience dealing with this outstanding paint store, I would not go elsewhere. Their service is above and beyond the pickiest of people. All questions are answered with the utmost of attention and ease, with additional information always added. The staff at Paint Depot walks you through everything and gives you all of the help you need. I look at paint chips in different stores and bring them different chip colours from different brands. It is always matched beautifully, usually with the colour being improved on. I would not hesitate to recommend Paint Depot at O'Connor where I deal, to anyone. They are beyond a 5 star recommendation. If you could only get this service and knowledge at other stores selling anything. This is how a store should be run. read more

I would never recommend them, over priced and not up on a lot of the product they sell. Their inexperience with Venetian Plaster cost us dearly... read more

This store is the best combination of materials and expertise anywhere! The staff is amazing- they have a wonderful colour-sense, helpful, pleasant - I drive from London to deal with these people! read more

This is pretty far from where I live, but reading the reviews, I figured this would be worth it. Especially after I made a trip to home depot for some paint and the staff there weren't very knowledageble or even visible (till it was time to pay). The staff here is amazing! I can be a bit of a commitment phobe when it comes to painting my room - but he was patient and took the time to compare swatches with the one I'd chosen to show me what other options I had and to also make me more comfortable in my choice - since I kept picking my original choice over the others. Besides the color he was also helpful with picking the finishes and the quality etc... and unlike pushy salesmen, his recommendations were not based on which one earned him highest commision (priciest) but actually based on me. After 4 months of planning my room makeover, I've finally picked a paint & painted the room, and I couldn't be happier. Going back to Paint Depot tonight to pick up another gallon of paint (for a second coat) and can't wait to tell the guy (i'm horrible with names) how much i love the colour (the last time I was at the store I told him I might be back to have the colour altered). read more

We typically buy paint at the big box stores (Lowes or Home Depot), but thought that we might get some added guidance on color selection from a smaller store so found the Paint Depot here in Toronto (O'Conner location). The pricing on paint was noticeable higher than you would pay at Lowes or Home Depot and the color guidance we received was not very good (they basically pointed us to the paint sampling chips), but we were happy with the paint we had selected so decided to buy the paint (we only needed two gallons for the job). To complete the job we applied a coat of finishing touches from the last can and the paint inside the can darkened between coats. We could see this darkening on the wall (darker blotches and streaks) and in the shading difference between the dried paint in the two paint trays used for the 1st and 2nd coats. Over the years we have painted quite a bit and were at a loss as to how this could have happened as we had sealed the can between coats and mixed the paint thoroughly before applying both coats. I brought the can of paint in to the store to explain what had happened and ask that they provide another can to fix the job. Similar to us, the two associates at the store had no explanation as to how the paint in the can could have darkened between coats and told me I would need to pay for a new can to fix the issue. This was a little disappointing to me as I am virtually certain that Lowes or Home Depot would have accepted some responsibility and taken a different approach. I gave the Paint Depot a shot to win my business away from the big box stores but I will not be back. read more

Customer service at the Paint Depot is not always great. The main person who works here often gives you service with a snarl. She obviously has bad days and probably shouldn't work with customers. most paint stores are the same. You would be better off going somewhere with better customer service. read more
