Listen, I am busier than a mailman in a tornado and I only write reviews for businesses that…read moredeserve either awesome reviews, businesses that have a rating I find perplexing, or businesses that should be burned to the ground as a matter of public safety. I have been going to A & M painting for about 10 years. I f*#4ing hate painting. I would rather donate both lungs to a fish than paint. A & M makes painting so, so much easier. Go to A & M painting or I will write a scathing review about your hygiene habits. In my experience, every great business is great largely because of the people that work there. Scott knows more about paint than Van Gogh. He's also incredibly unlikely to cut off his ear and send it to you. He will spend time with you. He will find both the correct product for you and set you on the path to an efficient, beautiful project. You have no idea how much I hate painting. I would rather have all my teeth pulled and replaced with those blue sanitizer things at the bottom of urinals than paint. A & M makes painting more like getting a bad papercut with a tax bill, so relatively tolerable. I wish I could show you what I am looking at. I asked Scott to match a paint the previous tenant of my office left for the walls. (I should mention that the previous business failed because the idiot owner bought paint at Lowe's, where, I $h!t you not, I was recently told that there are two quarts in a gallon. True story.) Scott hooked me up with a paint that is the exact - EXACT - color match. That's not the only thing though. He knows I hate painting - mostly because of the anti-painting protests I hold downtown once a month or so - so he gave me a paint so high in quality that the job only needed one coat. Really. The whole room, 12' x 15', took me two hours, including sanding, washing, taping, and painting. I f*#$ing hate painting so much. It's like this for me: Boko Haram, painting, lobbyists, Bill Laimbeer, people that don't like Thanksgiving... I should mention that the first time I went to A & M was because I asked a professional painter where I should go, and he told me A & M. Keeping with this train of thought...Ever go into a sushi place and you're the only American there? Everyone else is Japanese? Well, I have. I was in Japan, but that doesn't matter. Half of the people in A & M are professional painters. Follow the pros to find other pros. In this case, if you follow the pros, you won't end up at Lowe's; that's because 4 quarts per gallon Scott knows, does and bros. So, skip the Homer "DOHs" and go to A & M, because painting blows. Your job will come out much better and be much easier. Do it. Rumi tip of the day: A female deer is a doe. Plural is "does."

Home Depot advertises big discounts, but the reality is that they are selling you last years' leftovers and quite often, you wait weeks longer than they say it will take only to find out that your paper is out of stock and not available anyway. We went here after we had three separate paper orders at HD fall through the cracks for various reasons and we have never looked back. First, the service is outstanding. They are friendly, helpful, and know their business. Second, their prices are very competitive... much better than we expected.... comparable to any discounts offered by the larger retailers. And finally, they are close to home, right here in town, and they bend over backward to get you exactly what you want. They have some really neat accessories, and while the fabrics are a bit pricey, to be able to get the fabric that matches your paper is huge and you generally don't need that much anyway for just a decorative element. The personal service we got was a breath of fresh air after the nightmare of ordering from a store that consistently let us down in this area. If I have any complaint at all, it's that the signage made it hard to find them. But they have plenty of parking (around the back of the store, where the main entrance is) and once I figured out where they are, they are very, very convenient and easy to get to. And check out the bargain area out back..... we actually found one of the papers we had ordered but not been able to get at HD ("out of stock") in their clearance bin. It doesn't get any better than that!

I found the prices to be a bit higher than Lowe's/Home Depot but to me the service more than made up for the couple dollars I would have saved. I will be back.

I've cheated and gone to The depot to save money or home decor group in Swpt because it's closer, but never again. Recently I've redone three baths. First one I went to home decor group with a picture on my phone. Owner told me he can't match something on my phone and left me to find a similar swatch. Next two projects I went back to waters and brown. Heidi helped me match pictures and made spot on recommendations. I brought in samples and images and she gave great choices to match or coordinate. Then over to the counter for the actual paint. John couldn't be nicer and more helpful (plus he actually remembers me by name and project). Some projects easier than others. More complicated (expensive) projects he gave me questions to ask my contractor and alternatives. I so appreciate the service here. It's second to none and the quality can't be beat. They've earned my loyalty and I'll return the favor by encouraging anyone to go here first and last. This is how a customer centric business is run.
