The walls and moldings in the entire space were a hideous gold and the ceilings had old paint with the kitchen a mess of mismatched colors. I settled on Benjamin Moore paint and found that Smith was the closest paint store to me that sold it. I read reviews and was a little anxious to come in but the people have been nothing but kind, helpful and willing to pass on nuggets of wisdom to me. I've visited 5 times to get different paints and supplies and each time I've been helped in a timely fashion, had employees who were friendly and kind and left with everything I needed. I will keep going back here because of the A+ service and quality products.

It was completely lighter. When I brought the products back to return them and get replacement color that was correct they would not swap it out. They told me that they would charge me for another quart of paint and another spray can. So they made a mistake and did nothing to make it right, nothing. I even showed them pictures of how off the color was and the guy agreed that it was off. But they still would not do anything to make it right..

One of the first places we stopped into when we moved to Long Beach 3 years ago, Anderson Paint &…read moreHardware is an independent do-it-yourself hardware store that has all the essentials needed for continued home ownership. It is especially good to find that 2nd piece of hardware that you need when you are putting something together or fixing something that is mechanical. They have a large dedicated parking lot attached, and is always staffed with friendly, knowledgeable folks that always seem busy doing something, but will drop it to help you. We've made use of many of their services, and their prices are very reasonable since not buying in bulk. -- they fix screen doors and windows. -- duplicate keys. In fact, that's what we came in for, this time. For a total of 6 new keys, cost us around $13 with tax. -- we don't buy paint here, but useful to pick up that extra tube of caulk that we didn't intend on. -- great at finding hardware for things like picture hooks, odd washer, nuts and bolts of different sizes. They seem to be doing very well, even though they are not associated with either of the big hardware chains (Ace or True Value), and have a loyal clientele. Where we live, everyone goes to Anderson's for their fix-it-up needs.

I parked right in front of the storefront on PCH during non-peak traffic hours. I have a rental unit that needed a refrigerator soon. Appliance Bros offered FREE same day delivery within Long Beach. Excellent! $15 haul away... $15 to get rid of my junk? Please, take it, and thank you. Walked in, Hugo greeted me, and within 5 minutes looked at a black frigidaire, a white whirlpool, and a stainless steel GE. Went with the Frigidaire. Come in with your price already in mind and your measurements! These were all 29" for a 30" space, no overhead cabinets, so a 65" height would have been fine. TIP: Bring cash. I left and came back with cash money. Cash buys the floor price inclusive of tax and whatever... I didn't hear the rest. ‍ I like it when you want to give me a good deal. Why would anyone want to pay the LB sales tax of 10.25% when you can avoid it? Paying with credit card adds a 3% surcharge. Just saved me 13.25% by paying cash. Winning here already. Why Appliance Bros Technicians when there are other places? Because, I went to Home Depot (very informative sales guy in Lakewood), Sears, American Freight, Lee's Appliances, and none worked out. Either their refrigerators were too beat up (cosmetic issues shouldn't be a big deal.... but if you can get an aesthetically pleasing one for a good price, why not?); were not in stock (Sears cheapest was $500 and I was waitlisted as #31 with a projected availability of a month); or, delivery date was waaaaay out (American Freight's next available delivery date was in 3 weeks, $79 for delivery, and their inventory was hit or miss on a decent looking fridge). I love that I can bring business to a local family-owned shop. Business here is legit with solid, unbeatable prices and personable customer service. I bought the fridge today, and it will be delivered Monday, per my request. Things are looking good. There's a 90 day warranty. I'll update my review should anything change with the product or delivery.
