I had the old cans (one was from 11 years ago) and brought them into Helm since that's who my painter had used. They took a quick look (rusty cans were not a deterrent) and said on you need X and Y. And with 15 minutes my colors were mixed and I was checked out and ready to go. Yes, the paint is pricey. 2 cans (one interior semi-gloss and one exterior) set me back $100 BUT the paint lasts. If I wasn't replacing doors, I probably still wouldn't have needed to repaint that back door. Staff was lovely and on it. Plus beaucoup parking out front.

It is my opinion that there are very few people who would argue the "fact" that Sherwin-Williams'…read moreline of paints are top notch. In September 2017, I had 22 new windows installed in my home. Since my home is over 50 years old, the interior window sills and exterior window frames did not get replaced. Therefore, in anticipation of my new windows, I decided to sand, scrape and prime my exterior window frames prior to the installation of the new windows. That way, once the installation was complete, all I had to do was apply a topcoat (or 2) of paint. But I digress. My 1st trip to Sherwin-Williams was only to buy a new window scraper, sanding "discs" for my palm sander, bleached tack cloths and an oil based exterior primer. There's really not much to talk bout regarding the scraper or the sandpaper, but I cannot rave on how effective Sherwin-Williams bleached tack cloths were in removing dust, even after I thoroughly used a dust brush to clean the freshly sanded window frames. They were a cheap investment that, in my opinion, truly prepared the frames for priming. I started out using their Exterior Oil-Based Wood Primer ($54.99/Gal), but even though it's their top rated exterior oil primer, the long drying time was a turn-off to me. Therefore, I immediately switched to their A-100 Exterior Fast Dry Stain Blocking Alkyd Wood Primer ($41.29). Not only was this primer less expensive, it brushed on easily with no thinning required and I was able to apply a second coat in as little as 2 hours. (This was especially important as every window got 2 coats of primer.) For my top coat (2nd trip to Sherwin Williams), I picked up one gallon of Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel ($89.49/Gal). This paint is not cheap, but it's worth every penny. First of all, it's water based and cleans up easily. It's also an interior / exterior paint; therefore, I plan to use it for my interior trim as well. This premium paint (urethane enamel) has excellent coverage and leaves minimal to no brush marks, especially if you are using a quality brush such as a Wooster or a Purdy (in which Sherwin Williams stocks the latter). No Flo-trol is needed to make this urethane enamel flow any smoother than it already does. Again, I used a tack cloth between the primer coat and finish coat to remove any dust, bugs or other foreign debris to ensure I got a smooth finish. I've been to this Sherwin-Williams a few additional times and on every single visit, I was greeted by a courteous and knowledgeable salesperson. Store Manager Bryant Lopez has definitely instilled a prideful workforce, as is evident by their excellent customer service.

I am working on my house float and needed some exterior paint quarts to make it happen. SW was actually cheaper than other locations for some really basic paint. I walked in (masked of course) and they had hand sanitizer ready for me. The sales associate was great to work with and she helped me find the least expensive options, knowing that I need the boards that I'm painting to last from Jan. 6 to Feb. 16. The paint worked great and my project is looking wonderful. Staff was all masked. There are plexi barriers at checkout. Hand sanitizer is supplied and there are clear social distancing markers on the floor.

We ran out of the paint that has been stored so I was told to go to this particular Sherwin-Williams because our information was on file. When I walked in the building, it was EMPTY. No one called out saying they'd be right out or anything like that. An older gentleman slowly comes out of the back after about 3 or 4 minutes pushing a box. He doesn't even acknowledge me. The phone rings, he walks to the phone so I walked to the counter and look into his eyes, he answers the phone and to the phone says "one second please". The he looks at me. Finally.

They offer a surprisingly large selection, given the limited square footage in this historic store front. The guys who run this store clearly care about their customers and will not try to upsell you. If they don't have what you need, they'll get it from, or send you to, one of their larger stores in the area. On the downside, unless you can plan your visit first thing in the morning, your chances of finding a parking are slim to none.
