That said, I recently had a frustrating experience with a paint purchase. I bought 3 gallons of Cabot semi-solid stain in Oak Brown during a promotion--about $15 less per gallon than the other local paint supplier. I assumed the color would match the same brand and shade used during my 2023 remodel (leftover from my painter), but the result was quite different. Instead of a rich dark chocolate tone that matched my home's trim and fascia boards, the stain came out with lighter red-brown hues--more milk chocolate than expected. I brought the stain back to have it shaken again and asked the paint clerk for advice, but unfortunately the response was defensive and unhelpful. Lesson learned: when it comes to matching existing stain, go back to the original source and always do a test patch--especially for something as visible as a large deck. I'll continue shopping at this Ace for many things, but I'll be more cautious about stain and paint purchases in the future.

The selection is diverse so you can choose to be bold or conservative, modern or traditional, etc.. Their prices have always been competitive too. Why go to Home Depot and get a limited selection and ordinary. Tile is an investment you will live with for years. You should have what you love. Our Santa Barbara home had some legacy tile that we needed to match after some construction demo. Tileco went above and beyond finding what we needed... exactly. Luck, or experience and great customer service? We also bought all our tile for our NY home from Tileco (kitchen floor and backsplash, and bathroom floor to ceiling). Tileco helped us zero on the "look" we wanted, found nearby distributors, and arranged for delivery when we needed it. Any problems we had with tiles that were not "right", they took care of it. I noticed in two other reviews someone was grousing about parking and COVID precautions. I've never had a parking problem, even when my wife and I met there in separate cars. It can get busy early in the morning when contractors are making their morning run for supplies. Other than that, it's a non-issue. My experience at Tileco was pre-COVID. I have no doubt it has impacted their operations as it has all of us. Anyone who objects to essential safety precautions for themselves, let alone other customers and employees, needs an anger management.
