Yes, you'll pay more for their paint than you would at say, Home Depot but it is so worth it…read more Don't believe me? Then try it for yourself! Go to Home Depot and show the guy behing the paint counter a swatch of your granite countertop and ask him what color he would recommend considering you have cherry cabinetry. Then, when he's done laughing at you, go to Waters & Brown and show your granite swatch to Sam and Lauren (I think her name is.) That's what I did and they immediately both thought of the same color, Quahog. So much darker than I ever wanted to go but wow, just the right color. Then Sam suggested Oxygen (a pale blue) for the ceiling and a color called America's Cup for the trim. The America's Cup (an off white) threw my husband into fits of worry. Will it be too yellow? Will it look dirty and dingy? Sam, promised it wouldn't and explained why . . . and he was right. So right, that my husband went back and asked him what color we should paint the adjoining hall, Sam made a recommendation and my husband walked out with that color paint. This is the same husband who would gladly spend months deliberating every decision, no matter how minute!!! So it is no exaggeration when I say that Sam may have single-handedly saved my marriage, or perhaps my husband's life because I was ready to either kill or divorce him. So as we decorate our entire home over, all I can say is thank God for Waters and Brown, and thank God for Sam!!!!

Her enthusiasm was contagious, and I left feeling very satisfied and excited. I highly recommend them!

My 3-year-old and I stood waiting quietly for nearly 15 minutes for our turn to be helped. While we waited, my son calmly counted the rolls of painter's tape stacked on a shelf, not running around, just counting and stacking. Completely harmless. Out of nowhere, the employee began verbally berating me for letting my toddler make a mess and "be annoying." I was stunned. There was no chaos. There was no disruption. Just a bored little kid counting tape while we waited for service that never came. The tone was hostile, condescending, and completely unprovoked. If this is how they treat parents with well-behaved children, I can't imagine how they treat anyone else. If you want quality paint and a business that treats customers like human beings, go to the Benjamin Moore in Malden or Ace in Stoneham instead. They're friendly, helpful, and professional -- everything this location is not. This store has lost my business permanently. And we've spent thousands as we've renovated our home over the years. But judging by today, they never seemed interested in earning it in the first place.

Carlos was incredible--he went out of his way to help me find the perfect paint. I was debating between several colors, and he patiently walked me through the process step by step. From explaining undertones to how lighting affects color, he made what felt like a stressful decision so much easier. Growing up, painting meant grabbing whatever was around and slapping it on, drips and all. But when you're working on your dream home, everything matters--and Carlos understood that. What really stood out was the whole team. I've grown accustomed to walking into businesses where people barely acknowledge you. Not here. Everyone was kind, attentive, and genuinely eager to help. That level of service is rare and appreciated. Ask for Carlos--you'll be happy you did. If you're in the area and want expert advice and outstanding customer service, Home & Decor is the place to go.

On Sept 03/2024 my son and I went to Moynihan Lumber in Beverly to inquire about ordering an…read moreexterior door, custom sized, to fit a [mobile] home. We tried Home Depot and Lowes, and we were told we needed to go to a place that makes doors. My son and I sat with a sales rep at Moynihan Lumber named Corey. Corey spent about 15-20 minutes searching their database using the measurements I gave him, looking for a door to fit 33" x 75" rough, at one point Corey spoke on the phone with the contractor to make certain of the rough opening size for the door. After an extensive search Corey said he found a door in the size I needed, however I was limited to a very basic door. I placed an order with Corey for 2 doors, I paid $2,400, using my credit card, the doors arrived 2-weeks later and they were not the "custom size" I gave him... I emailed Moynihan's on Saturday 09/28, they are not open on Saturday, informing them that the doors are not the correct size. My son followed up at Moynihan's, in person, on Monday 09/30. The manager was rude telling my son they don't make doors the size we ordered. He told my son we have to eat the doors, nothing can be done. I went to Moynihan Lumber to purchase a CUSTOM size door, if they could not order or make a door in the size I needed, then they should not have placed an order for the doors.. Moynihan's told my son to tell the contractor to make the doors work. Moynihan's is not a reputable company. Their attitude is unacceptable. I am a 67 year old woman, I went to Moynihan Lumber to purchase a specific size door, Corey said he found a door that could be ordered in the rough opening size I needed...Now Moynihan said I can eat the doors. I have filed a complaint with the Attorney General's office for Unfair Business Practice and with the BBB.

I will no longer buy paints from this shop; it is a total rip-off in the name of inflation.

I have seen this hardware go from one place to another, its current status is the best it's ever been. They offer incredible value and service on small gas engines. I have purchased a chainsaw, a Weedwhacker, and a blower from them, they have all been great. They are STIHL products, compared to other local small gas engine companies, this has been the best value. They recently fixed my pull start for $25. Where else can you have somebody work on your stuff for $25? I'm very grateful to have the store only a few miles from my house. They have a convenient section of common wood and other things that contractors may need locally so they do not have to go to the big box stores. On one occasion, I purchased a vacuum. And they price match the vacuum to Walmart which I thought was pretty good. Keep up the great work, We are very grateful to have you here in our neighborhood.
