But to my surprise I see they also offer flooring, blinds (Hunter Douglas & Grabber brands) and help with installation. I primarily went into the store to get one-on-one help choosing paints for my walls. The gentleman helping me (Rick) asked a lot of questions but it was to help narrow down the immense number of paint colors available. Their paint pallet samples are fully stocked for you to take home. They welcome you back if you are not satisfied with your first, second or THIRD choice of colors. Once again I stress this is a design store, not a big box store. And as a bonus, the store is immaculate, clean and tidy. Thank you

The sales person who knew me acknowledged me and said " I'll be with you when I can" I said no problem . 35 minutes latter she came to me and basically gave me the bum's rush " I have to do crowd control . Your showing pictures from a phone , so inaccurate ( tho yesterday when I was there the pictures were fine). Go home and look at your walls again. I'm busy " This took all of 6 minutes . Why could she not have told me when I walked in that she was busy. She was so disinterested. Why is her time more important than mine???? Just say when I walked , too busy today , mind coming back?!??

I can't say enough good things about this family-owned-and-run preservation supplies store. Their…read morestaff is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful regarding their products. And, they are so very nice. I especially want to thank Will, who was generous with his time and expertise in answering my many questions, taking place over several phone calls, and also Courtney, for responding to my online questions. Atlas Preservation is one of very few retailers in the United States that carry linseed oil paints and supplies, including Ottoson paints imported from Sweden. As a long-time historic preservation advocate and craftsman, I am well aware of the importance and benefits of using appropriate maintenance and repair materials. At the recent International Preservation Trades Workshop (in 2023), Michiel Brouns highlighted the importance of using linseed oil paints and related products for historic buildings. (For detailed information on why and how to use linseed paints, see Brouns' excellent book, "Linseed Paint and Oil: A Practical Guide to Traditional Production and Application"). The moisture-wicking property of linseed paints is in contrast to alkyd and acrylic paints that seal moisture in, which inevitably leads to peeling paint and wood rot. Linseed paints are durable and long-lasting, cost-effective, and provide an environmentally sustainable alternative to petrochemical paints - for both historic and non-historic buildings - and Atlas Preservation is an outstanding source for obtaining these valuable and often-overlooked traditional products. In short, I highly recommend Atlas Preservation for their expertise, focus on high-quality products, and friendly and helpful service!

While visiting a friend's home I learned she had recently worked with Thomas and his team to…read morerefinish their kitchen and dining room cabinets, which were beautiful. The same evening I met her neighbor who also worked with Thomas to refinish her kitchen. I had been thinking about doing this in my kitchen as my dark cabinets, while beautiful and perfectly functioning, made my space look very dark. Like many people, I spend the majority of my time at home in my kitchen. I scheduled a consult with Thomas and his team and was struck by their eye for design and ability to keep the things we had that worked well and enhance them by adding just the right colors to make the space more current and to add brightness. I did not feel oversold and they took the time to come out several times to help us work through color decisions. When the crew came to do the work I was awestruck with their diligence, attention to detail, focus on preparation, and cleanliness. They minimized disruption to our family, and executed the project perfectly. Thomas came by frequently to be sure the project was on track. My husband and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. I absolutely give Thomas Mach Interiors five stars! The entire process and the outcome were flawless.

We have been in our house for 5 years and have lived with the old dark kitchen colors that were…read morepopular in the early 2000's. We had looked at replacing cabinets and at painting and we decided the cabinets were great and checked on painting. Some of the painters we looked at did not do the quality job we wanted (visible brush strokes etc.) so we contacted Thomas Mach for a consultation. He came and shared his vision for how our kitchen could look and we decided right then to go ahead on the project. His team was so professional, and completely protected the rest of the house from the painting. Everything was sprayed on the spot using Farrow and Ball Paint which carries a 6 year warranty. They also helped us decide on new countertops and back splash. They managed the entire project start to finish and we had a new kitchen in just over a week. We were so impressed we had them also paint our dining room which needed it. This was not a low cost project and more expensive than other companies we checked with, but the quality, professionalism and speed made the choice obvious and worth the value.
