There are two kinds of Sherwin-Williams paint stores: commercial and regular retail. This is a commercial one, and know what? I'm all about it. I far prefer this no nonsense commercial approach and don't need or want all of the fancy displays or literature. I just need a can of paint.
There are drawbacks, of course, to the commercial stores. Mostly it's about selection and sizing. They may not sell what you want in the 1-gallon, or they may not have every grade of paint. They may also have the commercial grade that the retail stores do not, so I guess it goes both ways.
Mostly, though, I've only ever had really excellent service here at this commercial location. I came at first meeting with someone to design a project, and they were able to answer a ton of questions and find the right grade, color, and finish of paint that worked for my application.
You know you're adulting pretty hard when you have a strong opinion on retail v commercial paint stores, but here we are and I'm certainly not the only one who feels this way. read more
