We had one major issue involving another location where the second batch of paint was incorrectly tinted. The problem didn't show until the sun hit the house, and the color variances were obvious. We met with the owner, unsure how it would be handled, and he absolutely did the right thing. He acknowledged the employee mistake, took responsibility, and made sure our home looked exactly as it should. I think this family is amazing as the sister always helped me when I would shop for paint and she was always warm, giving and helpful. She made a lasting impression that her brother carried on! As local business owners ourselves, integrity matters to us. The owner went above and beyond to make it right, and that level of accountability is rare. We're extremely impressed and grateful. Highly recommend Powell Paint. -- Tim & Genelle Holub

I do not recommend Miller Paint. I originally shopped there because my employer offers a 25%…read morediscount. When I went in to buy my paint, they mixed everything up and tried to up-sell me on everything. The total cost came out to almost $600. I told them my budget was $300 and they proceeded to tell me that I was basically SOL because they already mixed the paint. So, we went through our shopping list and were able to get the bill down to about $400 by not buying top of the line everything (which they had recommended). Then, when I needed to get more primer, I went to Home Depot and found out the exact same primer was $15.98. I paid $25.40 (with my discount!!!) at Miller. Same exact product. That's just not right.

My old product…read morechoice, Thompson's Water Seal, from a big box store, changed its formulation to a gel which is very slippery and not sealing. Miller has been my go-to, for paint, so I visited this location. I know things about furniture finishes and compatibility because I have made some of my own furniture. On interior and exterior home finishes, Miller knows more than me. The staff were very knowledgeable. What I learned is that stain-sealer over a different product does not work. They suggested a finish remover applied with water, including rain, letting it dry, then the new stain. They knew the strengths and weaknesses of different product choices. They even volunteered to look up and apply a discount. Miller has been in operation since 1890 and is employee owned!

I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to house maintenance…read more We had to repaint a bedroom wall and so I came here since they sell the paint I needed and the old paint can listed their SE location. First visit, I ordered online, the cashier told me to just call them next time since purchasing online cost more (not exactly sure about that, haven't compared prices). Then I went back for more paint because... I don't know what I'm doing and wasted a lot of paint. The 2nd time around, I asked many more questions and asked for tips. I was also trying to coordinate with my partner over the phone while in store with an employee helping me. - The employee so patient and understanding with me being on the phone. They then proved their patience with me going to my car and coming back inside THREE TIMES with more questions. Prices are reasonable, the tools sold there are about the same price as Ace Hardware. The employees are super nice and so very helpful. They had recommendations and answers for everything. There was no pressure to buy more or go for the more expensive option. They had tools that were on the price spectrum, there were cheaper options, midgrade and more expensive. They pointed out each tool, gave their rec and left it up to me to decide. I love that I can buy paint AND materials without feeling like I paid extra for materials because of the convenience. They get busy but they are also well staffed and take their time with customers. I never had to wait more than a few minutes. They also have some Spanish speaking staff and it sounded like they have good relationships with their Spanish speaking customers. Here's what I learned: -One quart of paint technically covers about 100 ft², but in reality, probably more like 60 to 80 ft², especially considering if you don't know what you're doing. My first mistake - getting one quart, 2nd visit, I definitely got the full size can. -After you're done painting use the rollers to go all in one direction one last time to avoid seeing any strokes. Stick with a matte color to especially avoid seeing any strokes. -If you're repainting a wall, it's best to paint the entire wall otherwise you might see the old paint versus the new.

Also, if you take a customer's credit card over the phone... don't repeat the numbers out loud on your end. C'mon. Yes, I got my paint. But overall a frustrating experience. I will avoid this store in the future.

I always wondered what happened to…read moreit because they had gorgeous items, especially during holidays, and the store did great business. Well, due to some rent issues, they ended up in a shopping center off of NW Barnes. I happened upon it while killing time before a doctors appointment. It's still filled with charming items for your home and garden, most with an old world charm - think urns, topiaries, trailing ivy, fleur-de-lis, iron accents, rustic wood, arched frames and mirrors. Also lots of furniture from accent tables to display units, tables, chairs, desks and more. The owner is so friendly and helpful. If you are looking for ideas, seek him out! Items are unique and affordable in an array of price ranges. While this style as perfect for my previous home and garden, there aren't many items that work in my modern condo, but I purchased some gifts for friends. During the Christmas season, I bought giagantic snowflakes, candle holders and lit trees. If you used to visit this shop when they were on NW 23rd, take the quick ride out to NW Cedar Hills area and continue to support them in this new location. I fear they no longer get the foot traffic; this shop is so special, we need to keep them in business!

So come look around. The staff are always friendly. You know I will be back. It just makes gift buying to easy!
