Bottom Line: Quality paints and consistently great service…read more I've been going to McCormick Paints in Annapolis for the past seven-plus years and I've always had a good experience with them and their paints. Originally I went to McCormick to match the paint that was used by my builder but McCormick's friendly customer service and great quality paints keeps me returning. I think it also helped that they gave me a fan deck (thank you!) on my first visit which I still use. I've used many gallons of their paints. I've also used a variety of their products and I've only had one issue - a low VOC paint that skunked. Indoors I've used 1st Step primer, Total Advantage and Revo on my walls and Advantage (now discontinued) and Revo on my trim. Outdoors I've used the State House exterior paint. When I had to paint metal railings outside I trusted their Interlock Direct to Metal paint. All of these paints went on easily and have held up great. As a bonus, they sell caulk in their standard paint trim colors like White Shadow and Cool Platinum which is super helpful!

When we bought our new place, the builder gave me a touch up paint kit consisting of two quarts of…read morepaint. When I tried to use them, they were both the consistency of paste and completely unuseful. And of course because of the paint brand the nearest store was at least an hour away. Since we were driving to Pennsylvania anyway, decided to stop at Annapolis and get some new paint. Joel at McCormick paints listened to my story and told me that he was going to replace the paint for free. As he put it, you shouldn't have to pay for something you were going to get anyway. I really appreciate that business model and these guys have made a customer for life. Thank you Joel!

Our contractors love the difference between BM and other paint brands that sometimes require two coats and are not able to match exterior paints with our color pallete. Will share before and after photos after the job is complete.

The first thing you need to understand is that the primary focus of the business is contractors not…read moreindividual members of the public, at least when it comes to the "paint" part of what they do. Accordingly, they don't make customer service their #1 job. But they are super knowledgeable and gave an incredible line of products. I've been working with them for a long time and received great painting and wallpaper contractor recommendations from them. They are nice to me now and give me discounts when I buy direct. I've also used the "decorating" part of the business and, again, they have great selections on fabric, wallpaper, and rugs and their work is great. So just keep your expectations on service calibrated correctly and you will be happy.

I've passed by Park Hardware many times and it is in close radius of several spots I frequent…read moreto/from town. Its location is a bit tricky off a main thoroughfare, and parking could be tight on a busy day. I stopped by to look at their hardware selection today. In search of specific materials, I wanted to see what was available. Easy in and out today, with no interaction with staff near closing time. I'll be back as I'm interested in materials for replacements and projects, I need more time to look at options and costs.

I visited Park Hardware a few weeks ago, and it was my first time in the store. I was referred…read morethere by a competitor to refill my propane tank. My husband sent me to get it refilled--a task I don't normally handle. I hadn't realized the store was right off Ritchie Highway (a road I drive often) and had never noticed it before. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. The exterior was beautiful: vibrant flowers and an inviting atmosphere. Unfortunately, as soon as I walked in with the empty tank, that positive first impression quickly faded. A friendly young cashier greeted me, and I told her I needed a propane refill. An older woman sitting next to her then barked from behind the counter, "Ma'am, you need to take that tank outside." I immediately complied, but the tone felt unnecessarily scolding. There was no greeting and no explanation, just a reprimand as if I should have already known the rules. As I stepped back outside, a young man came over to take the propane tank to fill it. After waiting a moment, I went back inside to pay to help move the process along. Again, the older woman scolded me and said I couldn't pay until the employee called in with the number of pounds filled. A few minutes later, the tank was filled, I paid, and I was on my way--but the negative experience lingered. The interaction was so rude that I called my husband on the drive home to tell him what happened. Under normal circumstances, I would have browsed and likely purchased something else (the flowers had caught my eye), but the vibe was so unpleasant that I didn't want to spend one more minute--or one more dime--in the store. I'm sharing this because you can't assume customers know your procedures, especially first-time customers. Kindness costs nothing, and a brief explanation would have gone a long way. I hope the customer service approach improves.

It really depends on your needs, but for us, we were aiming for indoor plants. The parking lot is all rocks and it's off from the main road so it isn't hard to get in and out of the place. The price seems reasonable just not my cup of tea. There were a lot of people here on a Saturday picking up plants.
