I just had been to Lowes where a kid was recommending primer that he had never used nor had really any paint experience. I tell you what, the associate "Mike" was extremely knowledgable, friendly and kind. Recommended a paint that I used solely on his recommendation- Wife loved it and will be going back for more and for future projects. The prices are a bit higher then other Lowes,not sure about Menards, but for the piece of mind, that these guys know there stuff and have used the product, its well worth it. Oh, very surprised when Mike carried the two gallons of paint out to my vehicle! What other big box store does that?

I came in recently intent on light gray for my living room. I asked what they thought when I showed them my chair fabric and they immediately picked out a light creamy beige with gray undertones and I was amazed that it was perfect. I had the same experience a few years ago with my bedroom and they found the perfect color to compliment my bedspread. Douglas & Sons is a Kalamazoo institution.

I found the staff to be friendly, the store well laid-out and stocked, and the prices reasonable. Over 3 trips there they had what I needed each time.

This is the best little hardware store! Somehow they always have what I am looking for, and their…read morecustomer service there is SPOT ON! They are always willing to help you with what you are looking for, and they greet you as soon as you walk in the door. They are also a hub for UPS packages, which is really nice if you miss your package or are worried about packages getting stolen off of your porch. They also do RENTALS! Their rentals are relatively inexpensive and super convenient if you need to use something that you dont own. They also do repairs and tune-ups! You can take in your chainsaw, your lawnmower, whatever, and they will either fix it for you or tell you where you can take it if for whatever reason they cannot do it there. I love this place, and highly recommend it over big box hardware stores!

One trip he asked me what I was interested in , my response was learning how to Bee keep ! He surprised me by saying he had just brought in bee keeping hives and equipment. Holy wow, this is in a small town like ours . So now I'm looking at a new hobby. I was just thinking about it. Love this store. Also use to buy Eco Friendly granular for ticks and fleas to spread in my back yard to safely protect my 2 dogs who are family . Home Depot stopped selling it so I was looking to order it from Amazon . The Owner told me he could get it for me , even was cheaper and no extra for shipping . I bought 4 bags . He said he would put a few bags on his self to sell as well . Guess what after I recommended it to my friends those bags only sat on the self a few hours so he ordered more. Again I love this place.
