What did other saints do? Cure the sick and help little animals? Well, Sherwin-Williams will help you revitalize your furniture, make your walls glisten with new color schemes and allow you to experiment with new techniques for updating your kitchen without breaking the bank. The paint here is much less than other paint stores and if you sign up as a frequent buyer, you get 10 or 15% off. (Spray paint prices are the best I have found.) Yes, I nominate them as the Saint of Paints. I saved a bundle of money and got just what I needed to enhance my life with new colors and a cheerful new look. Thanks, Sherwin-Williams.

I'm re-doing the paint in a new home and came here for some help selecting color. I knew I wanted…read morea green and SW "Ryegrass" was recommended on Apartment Therapy as a green that could be used with a variety of other colors. The SW Iphone app recommended a beige and gray to go with it so I wanted to see how those colors looked in person and figure out whether I wanted to go with neutrals or an analogous color scheme with a yellow-green and green-blue. An employee greeted me immediately as I walked in the door and came over right away to help. I was the only customer in the store and had a lot of questions. He was very patient and pulled some brochures featuring greens and color strips that he thought would work. The Iphone app's beige had more yellow undertones which I didn't like so I'm glad he suggested a more neutral beige. He also had suggestions on how best to test out the colors before committing to a full paint job. As we talked, I learned he was from the Southwestern US so that explained the atypical New England personality. It's so rare that I walk into a store in New England and real customer service.

These guys are always nice to me, and always have what I want.

He was literally stopped at the door as he isn't 18? Not that they won't sell spray paint etc (which I get)...they stopped a teenager from buying mulch? To add salt they wouldn't help her with the bags when she tried to buy after they turned him away. The lesson for our son "never buy where you aren't treated well or respected" Lesson for me.....Home Depot/Amazon for supplies (begrudgingly) and Ricky's in Somerville for plants, rest of local businesses keep up the community vibe

The woman who interview me seemed inexperienced and did not know how to properly conduct a professional interview . She barely went over my resume or qualifications for this positions! I felt my time was wasted. Then 7 days later, they (Johnson Paint) sent my a "canned" , cold automated duplicitous email, lying about moving forward with another candidate?! But when I went directly to their careers page on their corporate website, I noticed that the "Credit Manager" position was never filled! Mind you there was only one open position for this job! They lied to me , just to get rid of me and to deter me from applying for any other open requisitions with the Johnson Paint company! In retrospect, after reviewing several disgruntled customer experiences reviewed here on yelp.com, I'm glad employment with Johnson Paint did not come to fruition!

He recommended a type of paint that is tougher than usual but still latex, which brush to use and told me I didn't need to sand which was a relief. Here is a photo of how my wallpaper and paint turned out. I couldn't be happier. Thank you Johnson Paint!

I wanted some Benjamin Moore paint and I didn't want to go to the local TrueValue because they tend to be overpriced and I like supporting local businesses.

He certainly didn't have to do that, but I was so thrilled that he was so honest about saving a few bucks. I will absolutely be back to Kirshon for more paint and painting advice. If you can get there, I would recommend it over one of the major chains.
