I left without making a purchase. Today I needed measure marked plastic paint containers: all sizes out of stock. Sea sponge: In-stock at $30 each, (I purchased two earlier today from another locally owned paint store for $7.99 each - I'm heading back there now). I'd like to see this shop succeed. The location is great and the staff are helpful. Hopefully this review will be received as constructive criticism prompting improved stock management and discontinued price gouging.

I would not go anywhere else for paint.

House of Color has a huge selection of Benjamin Moore, with corresponding paint 'chips'. I'm the kind of person who can spent 2 hours deciding on a white. There's always someone behind the counter to help you. I recommend taking the cards outside where there isn't artificial light. Every painter I have worked with recommended Benjamin Moore. So go. BTW, I went with Kendall Charcoal for exterior wall, dark enough to cover previous colors

Since I knew we were painting the rooms white, we decided to just check the Benjamin Moore at Taraval for our paint. The service is great here. You may have to wait as it seems they are pretty busy with contractors stopping in for purchases. The personnel here is super helpful and the prices on the Benjamin Moore paint are good! Both stores the Taraval or Geary Benjamin Moore is a great place to pick up your paint for your project.

A custom color artist works here named Eddie, so if you're in need of exact matches on tough…read moresurfaces, run don't walk to SF Paint Source. I needed paint to match my exterior stucco wall but I was only able to get several pathetically small pieces to collectively amount to about to an inch of color sample (and I was cringing bc I was really messing up the wall to get them). Eddie said it was definitely on the small side, but he thought he would be able to do it. Well, I picked up the paint today and I just watched the paint dry on a large test spot (yes, I was that impatient and invested - I had to redo the whole repair bc both the patch and paint needed to be redone; btw thanks to the other guy also there yesterday who convinced me to get the real stucco repair compound instead of the acrylic patch I used the first time) and the match is FREAKING PERFECT. Eddie exactly matched the paint using a teeny-tiny-all-in-pieces-bare-minimum sample for STUCCO, not something easy like drywall. I am seriously so grateful. If Eddie tells you he needs time to get it right, you give that artist all the time he needs. Like I can't see where I painted at all. It's PERFECT. Did I mention that it's perfect? No? Well, it is. Thank you, Eddie!!!

(Turned out I had the right key, but the ancient lock was broken). I got a recommendation to use Cole and called them. I had to leave a message and Marc called me back, as promised on the greeting, within the hour. He was wonderful and patiently listened to my sad tale of desperation and woe. Just the calming response I needed. I won't detail all of the back and forth I subjected him to. I will just say he was extremely responsive and helpful and scheduled an appt for me that worked with my schedule. It turns out that I didn't need to use Marc's services - I was able to get in and replace the deadbolt without the need for a locksmith. HOWEVER - if I ever need the services of a locksmith, Marc with Cole Hardware will be my first call.... without hesitation.
