It was a bit busy but a very nice gentleman (Adi? Not sure how to spell his name) helped me get the right tools. I was in and out pretty quickly, and would definitely come back! read more

Service: Disorganized and unsettling. Staff behavior raised serious red flags -- not the kind of energy I'd expect in a professional environment. Selection: On paper it looks like there's plenty, but in practice it felt mismatched and suspicious. Things didn't line up with what you'd expect for a business of this size. Value: Honestly questionable. For a storefront that supposedly pulls in big revenue, the customer traffic and overall quality don't add up. It makes you wonder what's really going on behind the scenes. Other notes: The building setup itself feels off -- housing units crammed right above the storefront, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in safety or standards. Overall, this place left me with an uneasy impression I wouldn't want anyone else to deal with. read more

Hacking off a star because it really depends who you get here. A few of the guys are really condescending. Additionally, they negotiate "deals" with certain customers (I've overheard them) while the rest of us pay the higher price. I go in enough that I should get this secret deal too. Annoying. read more

Benjamin Moore Paint on CIA says open until 3 on Fri's, & was closed at 1pm. This place is open until their posted time, & is super fast, w/ courteous service. read more

I came when they were busy and understaffed. So they didn't take the time to help me get what I needed. Then I had to travel all around town finding the right paint, and I have to beg my contractor to fix the horrible paint choice I made (it's truly, awfully bad). However the guy behind the counter speaks competent English, and they seem to have supply. read more

Large, clean, and nicely stocked store. Too bad the sales associate spoke down to me like I was an idiot.

Well stocked, helpful staff, reasonable prices. If you need paint in the neighborhood, no reason to go anywhere else.

Ahadi and the rest of the staff were beyond helpful--youtube tutorials and DIY bloggers can only go so far, but these guys know their stuff and helped steer me in the right direction to help repair and paint my room to perfection. They insisted they were there to help with any questions at any time, and carefully made sure I was ready to tackle my project with confidence. This is the kind of friendliness and service that makes me treasure small businesses and creates dedicated customers! They are my home improvement HEROES! read more

Sold me a liquid nails cartridge that was strictly for interior use and told me it was for interior and exterior. I did not have my glasses so I bought it. This is not the first time they made mistakes. I tried to buy a rust inhibitor and they said they do not carry one. read more

The worst place I have shopped. I wished other store carry the product that I was buying and I never have come here again. They called me pick my paint and I came to pick up before 5 and they are close. When I spoke to them they say said the store close and come tomorrow to complain to the owner!!!!! All the people work there are arrogant and stupid and have a very small knowledge of paint! Another thing they are super expensive , please call other company before buying anything. read more

Half of a business is the product and the other half is how they treat people. The guys who work here are JERKS to women. They are demeaning, making sexist comments and encouraging male customers to cut a woman in line. "She won't mind. She's just a girl." My contractor recommended this place, but now he and I are now taking our business elsewhere. read more

If you're a business or just someone looking to paint your apartment, this is the store. I dare you to find a cheaper price for Ben Moore paint. And i can't say enough about the staff. How can they work so hard but stay so friendly? Its more than just your neighborhood hardware store. They have it all and have answers to all your questions. Thanks guys. My only issue is the parking. They are very busy and sometimes you need to park down the block. You may also have to wait a bit to get served but its worth it! read more

Very nice, very helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. George serves professionals and DIY-ers alike, and everyone is treated nicely. They will answer questions and give some advice. It is worth going out of your way to shop here. read more

I called PBG and hurray now they answer their phone calls, and they were very helpful and courteous on the phone. Great prices! I highly recommend them. read more

Going to Home Depot on Lexington Avenue was a mistake. I had to knock items off of shelves to get a human to appear and beg for help. Spent too much money on stuff I didn't love. Never again. No need. I must have walked by this small mom and pop neighborhood store a million times. It has been servicing Kensington for over 4 decades. The moment you step into the store, you are offered help. If you don't accept it, and they find you scratching your head, they approach you, again. Can we help you find anything? Yes, please. I will never go to another store to purchase paint. They have EVERYTHING (Items Home Depot did not have) and the entire store is smaller than my apartment. Neat and clean and organized and nicely stocked. If you want it and they don't have it, they will order it for you. Metallics, glazes, faux finishes, leather look treatments, tints, glitters, shellacs, wood stains, vanishes, spray paints, samples of them all and they answer the hard questions. "This variety has less toxic fumes for painting indoors". "A gallon saves you money because you will need three coats and 2 quarts cost more than a gallon". "You can apply the pearl glaze over it and it won't change the base color". "Nah, no need to prime". "Use this 99 cent plastic lip to pour paint and avoid mucking up the rim so your lids won't stick". They matched the glaze I needed from a sipping straw. "I want THIS purple", I said, handing him the straw. "No problem". They took the straw and gave me perfect mystic violet. Tears. While the paint mixed, we chatted about the best curry in the neighborhood and where we were from. I wanted to cook them all dinner. As I left, "Take care, Jennifer". But how do you know my name? I never told you? Oh, that's right. You read it off my credit card and remembered it, because that is how these gentleman do business. And that is why they are still here after 45 years. Neighborhood Gem. Love. Go. read more

Well so far I'm pissed off! I can't even get in to the store as it's closed on weekends! Unless you're "The Donald" most working people do their housepainting and hardward chores on the weekend. No luck here. I'm new in the neighborhood but have to travel to another spot to buy paint. read more

So happy they are in the neighborhood. There is a lot going on there every time I visit - but each time, I've been taken care of right away, patiently, until I got what I needed. Every time I leave I feel confident I got the right stuff and had all my questions answered. read more

Great service !!!Best place in Brooklyn for quality paints and expert advise ! I will be coming back

good prices, good paint , friendly knowlegable staff.

I wish I can give Paints by George and its staff 100 Stars! They were absolutely amazing in assisting me and adjusting a color that I had purchased. The color appear differently on my wall then I thought it would, and when I brought it back to paints by George they were so extremely helpful! They went above and beyond to help me. I was so incredibly happy! Their knowledge of paint and mixing colors is incredible! I will never shop anywhere else! Give them a try and see for yourself read more

Fantastic service, very helpful in suggesting quality of paint, and overall a really good experience.

I dropped in to grab a few gallons of paint and a few supplies. They had everything I needed. Staff was friendly and helpful. I'm about six months pregnant and Hector offered to carry my items over to the bus stop! read more

So, I was hesitant to go - even though I was there 2-3 years ago and had had a good experience. I'd forgotten this was the place I'd been, and when I saw the reviews that say they were disrespectful to women, I'll admit I didn't want to deal. But my painter (a professional and a woman) recommended them (now for the second time), I decided to go. I'll admit - I steeled myself on the way there for any misogynistic nonsense. There was no need. Chris and the 3-5 other men working there were LOVELY. They were solicitous, polite, and otherwise completely respectful. I didn't have to fight for their attention, even with other people in the store. They talked me through the different brands and types of paint, making suggestions, but not pressuring me. Everything they said checked out with my painter. Nobody cut me in line, nobody spoke to me in a condescending way, or anything like that. I picked paint cards for the colors I was deciding between, took them home, and went back later to buy pint-samples. Same during the 2nd visit -- I met some of the other employees, who were also nice and kind. I took the samples home and used them on the walls and then went back for a 3rd time today to buy the ones I'd chosen for the project. Once again, they were great (met an additional one or two employees). I should add that I'm in my late 40s and while I clean up pretty well, I'm nothing to write home about. I say that not to self-denigrate but rather to head-off any ideas about my looks or appearance being a reason they might have treated me so nicely. I'm certainly not negating any experiences that women have posted about. I'm just saying that my visits were issue-free and respectful, and that I had a good experience. I will say that I let the men know in no uncertain terms (individually and then together) at the END of my time with them about the issues people have posted about relating to disrespect toward women. They seemed to take it very seriously. At the very least, they are forewarned that women are talking about this issue with respect to their store and they're now fully aware. At the risk of suggesting that anyone put themselves in an uncomfortable position, I'd give them a try. And I'd NAME that you read this review along with the negative ones before it and then give them feedback about how they did. read more

I'm using this store at list 30 years. Employees are very respectful, knowledgeable and helpful. If you looking for well established business for decades this the rite place. Benjamin More is professional quality paints. They last decades if applied to manufacture recommendations. Home Depot, Lowe's or corner hardware store out of comparison. You are paying what you getting. I'm 58 and paint house myself. It last 12 -15 years. I preferred professional tool. and maintain it. Chip choppers are looking for 0.99 cents brushes and rollers. If you chip look for other options. read more

one of the best paint store i have visited,very good service,every one there is very helpful,and best of all they now answer the phone.
