I actually picked something out quickly and told her I had my measurements, but she insisted I needed to re-measure. Again, she made it clear I needed to call back the next day as I was apparently interrupting her exit. Day 2: Left message at 8:45am with measurements again and to ask price. Day 2: Called back at 12:30pm and talked to same person I left message for and saw the day before; she said she wasn't sure if she got my message, and realized she never checked pricing. She promised she would check pricing and also confirm if I could return an unused roll, and call me back that day. Of course, no call back. Day 3: Called at 10:15am and she (the person I had talked to before) wasn't there. Apparently the other wallpaper person was supposed to be there at 9, but according to the person who answered the phone said he didn't show up. What is this place and why are they so arrogant? It's apparently full of people who act like they are doing you a favor by even looking at you.

Exceptional Customer Greetings: Whenever I visit JC Licht paint store, Darien Staples ensures that…read moreevery customer feels like family from the moment they step in. His warm greetings create a welcoming atmosphere. Calm under Pressure: Even in high-tension situations, Darien consistently turns up his customer service charm. His ability to maintain composure positively impacts the store's environment, making it a pleasant place to shop. Efficient Leadership: Darien operates the store like a well-oiled machine, and he serves as the head mechanic. His leadership style ensures that the staff follows his example, contributing to the excellent customer service that JC Licht is known for. Personal Connection: Darien's commitment to customer treatment is why I remain a loyal customer. His dedication to providing an outstanding experience sets this store apart. Future Promotion: While it will be a well-deserved promotion when Darien moves up the career ladder, it will undoubtedly be a sad day for this store location. His impact on the customer experience will be deeply missed. Review for Wood Coatings Specialist Kevin Mahler: Unparalleled Knowledge and Service:Just like Darien,  Kevin Mahler is a key reason why I choose to travel longer distances to this JC Licht location. His expertise in wood coatings, JC Licht products and commitment to customer service are unparalleled. Dedication to Customers: Kevin's knowledge extends beyond products; he goes the extra mile to ensure a superior customer experience. I'm willing to wait to speak with him specifically, highlighting his importance to the store. Accessibility and Personal Touch: Kevin's commitment is evident in his accessibility. He provided his personal number, allowing me to reach out with urgent questions. This personal touch enhances the customer service experience. Future Promotion: While it will be a loss for the store when Kevin receives a well-deserved promotion, I appreciate having his personal number. It reflects his dedication to maintaining connections with customers, even as he progresses in his career. Absolutely, it's evident that Darien Staples and Kevin Mahler bring a level of dedication and expertise to their roles that goes above and beyond. Their commitment to providing excellent product knowledge and customer service reflects a genuine passion for their work. Their approach creates an environment where customers feel valued and appreciated, as if they were the owners of the store themselves.

I just tried to put the service in perspective because Sherman was having a great paint sale and I wanted to seize upon it. I was pleased with my paint selection and quality of the paint. Previously I had used Ace Hardware's brand and was very displeased with those results. I first painted the wall with their Duration (Matte) brand, Snowbound, followed by the blue color Cosmos which is also Matte. I WAS NOT pleased with the paint brushes Sherman sells, specifically the ProVal 4" inch, see picture. I do believe the brushes that I have purchased from Ace have been of better quality.

I left really pleased with this place and had it on my mind for a second project. The second time I visited... oof. When I asked about an issue and showed photos about potential materials to buy, I was told to have someone come out and pay for it because I didn't "look or sound excited about my project.

The slogans and jingles are memorable, and all is good and fine until you need to visit one. Let me guess, it goes something like this: You walk in looking for an item and an associate who can help you. You see someone in paint, but know they can't leave their post, so you continue looking. Aha! A person! Oh wait, that's a cardboard cutout. (This actually happened to me recently at a big box.) Finally, you find someone, and they tell you where to find the item in question. Only, the entire endeavor took way too long, meanwhile, the house is a mess while you're gallivanting the aisles. Enter Clark Devon Hardware. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted and offered assistance. Even if you are just browsing, others will ask you along the way. If you do ask for help, you will either be taken to the item or shown to a person who can help (as in, 'ask this person right over here,' who sees and waves). The team at Clark Devon is knowledgeable, kind, and no nonsense. They know you have things to do and places to be. They will be happy to help you and send you on your merry way. Clark Devon may not be the prettiest hardware store, and perhaps the big boxes may even have slightly cheaper prices (this is unconfirmed). However, it is my go-to for all hardware and home improvement needs, not only out of a desire to support a locally owned business, but because customer service counts for something too. If I am to offer one smidgen of feedback, it's that I wish they were open until later in the evening. For sometimes you come back from work and discover the closet rod has snapped in two, and you need parts to replace and fix.

Anytime I've visited Clark Devon Hardware they've always had what I needed. I normally only visit Clark Devon Hardware when I need a niche item that my closer hardware store doesn't sell or have in stock. I was recently on the market for a new screen sliding door and Clark Devon Hardware came highly recommended. They have a special section in the back of the store for custom orders. I prior to placing the custom order I was told the specific measurements that I needed to capture for my screen door. The process to submit an order went very smoothly. I was able to pick out the color of the metal for the door frame and the screen color. But that was the only positive from that experience. I was quoted roughly 4 weeks to receive my door. I ordered the screen door sometime in the early to middle of September so I was expecting the door to be completed by early to mid October. I was told the material is coming from the East Coast and they had to assemble it in store so thats why they quotes a few weeks. I was fine with the original estimated time. The screen door was a little over $300, it wasn't cheap so I expected them to be a little more organized. The four weeks went by without a word from the store so I waited a little longer before calling them up. I would expect an update from them to let me know other would be delayed. After waiting a little while it was nearing Halloween so I called them up to ask about the door. I gave them all of the information from the order and had to speak to several people to track down my door. The first person I spoke to tried to locate my door and told me it would be ready in a week. But after probing the person for more details they described the door that they were working on and it was a completely different door. It was going to be a white metal framed screen door when I asked for a darker grey door. I had to go through another person before they finally connected me with the supervisor. Since I called towards the end of the day the supervisor told me he would call back the next day, I will give him props because he did call back the next day. Apparently the door was delayed on the East Coast and they weren't aware. I was quoted a new date of mid to late November. I was extremely annoyed but accepted the date. The pick up process for the door was smooth. The door didn't fit properly in my frame but it worked good enough so I chopped this up as a loss. I don't think I'll submit another custom order from Clark Devon Hardware because custom home items are too expensive to trust their disorganization. On the bright-side, they have still have a nice selection of improvement items and the staff was friendly.

You have to pay for your plants before moving from one section to another ( say herbs and the shrubs). The parking is really tricky on weekends and you have to be super careful when turning into the lot because you cross a bike lane. The only time it was manageable was when I visited on a 100 degree day.
