We had an issue with a solid stain from Sherwin Williams. When going to the store and talking with Eric, he blamed something totally unrelated to the issue. We therefore gave a 1 star review on Yelp. However, Sherwin Williams District Manager, John Walters came to look at the issue in person. He said the problem was caused by overspray, and said the store would give our money back on the unused material. 5 stars for John, who was super friendly, made sense, was appreciative of our many years we have done business with his company. He restored our confidence in Sherwin Williams and we will surely keep buying product from them! read more

Never ever have I left a review at any place, but do not buy anything from the store. Worst experience customer service I've ever experienced. I called ahead of time to ensure they could help me with my project, they assured me they were able to and they gave me a turnaround time which was initially reasonable. I called before coming to pick it up and was told that they turned the paint green and were unable to figure out how to turn it back to White. I was told that the manager would be in the next day and would help solve the solution. When I got to the store a few days later because they never gave me a call back I asked the manager why no one even tried to contact me to let me know they couldn't solve the issue. The manager didn't even look me in the eyes was extremely rude and not helpful. I asked to have my paint back and the lid to the can was open ruining my prior paint. Don't ever support the store, horrible manager they should fire her. read more

Had exceptional customer service from Eric. Good customer service is rare these days and I SO appreciated his service. Thank you, Eric!

If you are coming in to buy paint, definitely go with Rudy. He is a great sales rep, and did everything in his power to help us have the best experience. He provides excellent service EVERY time we go in. read more

rudy was so helpful and sweet i went in with a small budget and he helped me and was very patient and quick.

Almost perfect color match! I recommend spending a few extra dollars and going to professionals instead of places like ace hardware. read more

Sherwin-Williams Paint Store - Paint Stores Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Disclosure: I'm a Benjamin Moore fan. That means, I've painted all my rentals, homes I've owned, and have helped friends paint their homes only using Benjamin Moore paint. I recently asked why I'm such a paint snob and decided to diversify my paint repertoire with Sherwin Williams. They do have some interesting colors, like Gossamer Veil and Silvermist. So, taking a risk and with an open mind, I decided to invest two afternoons to paint over an ugly muddy green that the previous home owner painted the entire interior of the house with. The paint store itself is organized and spacious. Depending on who you get at the counter will determine your experience. Some are friendly and outgoing, but others are crotchety and forgetful. To limit any errors, I used a brand new roller, paint brush, and their most expensive, elite paint called their "Emerald" line in a simple color, Gossamer Veil. I stirred thoroughly and applied the paint immediately after purchasing. Imagine how horrified I was when I saw the paint peeling as I roll! The entire room looks horrifying. Even after two coats, the paint runs, sticks, and drools down the wall. It looks like my walls just experienced a bad chemical peel. The paint is supposed to cover in one coat but there's no way they can verify that claim. After three coats and switching to another paint, Sherwin Williams paint is much more costly and an absolute headache to work with. This simple paint job is going to set me back a couple of days. I'm very disappointed and wonder if their formula or lot number is defective. Beware, more expensive isn't always better - unless you go with Benjamin Moore. read more

Sherwin-Williams Paint Store - A terrible paint job using the finest paint at Sherwin Williams. - Paint Stores Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

See all

Edward was great. He was helpful, attentive and patient in helping with paint selection. He went above and beyond in contacting me when the shipment came in and letting me know about logistical delays. You could tell he cares about the company and the customer. I typically go to Sherwin-Williams on Milpas and I understand they are different owners. Going forward, I will be using Sherwin-Williams on Chapala for their customer care, value on pricing and great support. Thank you! read more

Eric is extremely knowledgeable and helpful! We have been in flux over an exterior paint color that HAD to be approved by the HOA. His expertise and explanations are fit for teaching online classes for Masterclass. I hesitate to even mention his name because he is already so sought after by professionals. Soon-to-be not-so-secret asset to Sherwin Williams and the Santa Barbara community. Thank you Eric for all your time, knowledge, and patience. You are a true professional! read more

I can't say enough about this place, the service is great, and they are very knowledgeable. I needed to cover some holes in the wall at my house, so I went to a hardware store to get a color match for the wall. I took a piece of the wall so they can match it, and they "supposedly" match it within minutes. I brought it home, and it was not a match. We decided to go here instead and they said the color match would take at least 24 hours. We picked up the paint the next day, and to my surprise it was match!! I recommend always going to a professional paint place if you want the job done right! read more

I stopped by a day after I dropped off a new piece of hardwood flooring to try and match the stain of existing wood floors in my home and was surprised to see the stain all ready to go, with the samples looking almost identical. One employee helped take the purchase items tinny car even in the rain and without being asked. Chivalry is still alive and well! The stain was applied the same day to about 300 sq feet of space in my new open layout kitchen. The goal was to try and match the existing living room and dining room flooring to the kitchen area. My contractor, and my husband and I couldn't be more thrilled and pleased with how it turned out! We've had our share of paint projects but this one was seamless from start to finish. The results far exceeded anything we ever expected. Sherwin Williams' careful attention to the type of wood we were staining, the condition of the wood, and its stain retention led to a perfect color match. Yes--I said perfect! You can't see where the old 1954 wood ends and the newly installed wood floor begins. It's truly a work of art! The level of care and expertise at Sherwin Williams is unmatched by any other.

Let's face it-- renovations and house projects can be stressful. Let Your paint and staining needs be handled by the experts here for a truly effortless, stress free experience. read more

This store location has weathered the storm and changing tides of the Santa Barbara community over the past 15+ years. Some of the employees date back to when the shop was still branded under Frazee Paint. My first home and second homes were painted in Frazee Arizona White, flat and satin finish. Well, I started a "project" that turned into a bigger project after trying to touch up several walls. The now Sherwin-Williams team were extremely knowledgeable and helpful to do a color match once I supplied a small swatch which I cut from a closet wall. Their service is top-drawer and the follow-up genuine. This shop serves the Pro Contractor or DIY'er. What's super handy is they open early and close late so you can pick up your supplies even in a pinch on a Sunday afternoon. Prices are at a premium though you can find deep promotions from time to time. Many thanks to Vern for his help! read more

I had never been to SW before and had a somewhat complicated situation with repairs I needed to do and paint color matching. Everyone in the store was friendly and the man helping me knew his stuff and was even willing to do some detective work in helping me figure out exactly what color formula I needed. He also gave me excellent instructions on how to proceed with my project and as a result my project turned out great! I will go here for all of my paint needs in the future because they go the extra mile and I really value that kind of service. read more

As soon as I walked in I was greeted and asked if I needed help with anything. John was quick to help me find exactly what I needed and even gave me his expert opinion. This is the place to go if you're looking for paint, forget The Home Depot where no one bothers to help you and you are instantly overwhelmed by all of the different choices in brands and colors. read more
