And all I have to do is tell a sales person what I need and they immediately find it for me. They offer many personalized services, such as replacing window screens, sharpening tools, etc., that larger stores do not. I'm hoping they maintain one special section of the old Brightwood store. It was this: whenever I needed a GOOD QUALITY screw or some unusual size, I could always find it. The problem with chain stores is that items like these are made of a lower quality metal and the heads tend to strip when turned too hard. Their new location is very convenient and there's more than adequate parking. And I like the fact that, when we shop here, we're supporting a local business!

Need help? Good luck, you won't get help with anything in the Rocky's stores. And their inventory is a joke.

Selection sucks on what they have and they charge more than anyone else if they do have it, no value there.

A close family friend with a solid construction background advised me to get some Benjamin Moore paint for our new door. The guys who installed the new door told us the same. So today we popped into the new Simsbury Paint store to get some door paint, and we were absolutely blown away by the incredible selection and AMAZING customer service. Primers, paints, sheen, prep, rollers, brushes -ever single aspect of our project was covered in amazing detail. Hats off to Lori -our incredible sales consultant who gave us 45 quality minutes of advice and expertise.

This morning I went to John Boyle Decorating Center (Benjamin Moore) in Wallingford. I planned to…read morerun in, get my paint and run out. Well 1 1/2 hours later I left. I spent that time talking with Aaron about painting my cabinets. We discussed color saturation and the way it absorbs and reflects light. I showed him pictures of my cabinets and discussed the prep work I had done so far and how painful and time consuming this has been. I am fairly skilled at painting but I have never done cabinets before and I have this picture in my mind of how I want them to look. I have researched this over and over. He advised me on product and the differences in primer types and application. He helped me choose just the right shade of wall paint. He had re-done his own cabinets and I got the benefits of his experience. We also ended up talking about my kids, his girlfriend, a project he is working on right now. The owner jumped in too when he wasn't waiting on other customers. I did not feel rushed or bad that I was taking up too much time. The owner carried my box of paint to my car for me and I didn't even ask him too! The bottom line in all of this is we need to support small business. You can see Home Depot and Lowes from the parking lot but I can guarantee that you will never get the level of service I got. I left with more than product. I felt relaxed, informed and appreciated. If you have the need for paint, stop in but don't plan to run in and out if you don't have to.
