What I love most about Lissa Rivera is her communication. I know that if I send her a HUGE job or if I send her my gramma's backsplash job, she treats them all well. She's got crazy attention to detail and tailors every single conversation and project to the needs of the homeowner. She is an incredible resource for planning and design as well. What is the hottest paint color? Ask Lissa. What kind of cabinets are these? Ask Lissa. Will red wine stain this counter? Ask Lissa. Can I do a kitchen reno next week? Ask Lissa. Stop looking and start getting things done. Ask Lissa.

She helped me through the crazy process of narrowing down EXACTLY what I was looking! She put my needs at the very top and went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect! I needed to brighten up my space while being functional and practical for having two young kids! If you're in need of flooring Lissa is your girl! She made the whole process a breeze! I absolutely recommend Allied for flooring and installation! They are awesome!

Carr is a smaller chain that merged with our beloved Brightwood Hardware in Longmeadow…read more Their merchandise and selection is great, and I like the fact that I don't have to walk miles in a store to find what I need. And all I have to do is tell a sales person what I need and they immediately find it for me. They offer many personalized services, such as replacing window screens, sharpening tools, etc., that larger stores do not. I'm hoping they maintain one special section of the old Brightwood store. It was this: whenever I needed a GOOD QUALITY screw or some unusual size, I could always find it. The problem with chain stores is that items like these are made of a lower quality metal and the heads tend to strip when turned too hard. Their new location is very convenient and there's more than adequate parking. And I like the fact that, when we shop here, we're supporting a local business!

This is a great place to go if you want quality paint (Benjamin Moore, Pittsburgh paint, Modern…read moreMasters) and you also would like to get knowledgeable staff to help with your selection. Price: You aren't getting it any cheaper here but most places, especially big box stores, don't carry paint of this quality. Unless you want a quality exterior oil based primer I would buy my primer at a big box store, but buy my paint from here. They also have a great selection of paint brushes, but the same quality can be found at Home Depot/ Lowes so go there for these items. Staff: This is where this place sets itself apart, all the people that work here paint professionally, so they can give you valuable advice on what paint/sheen to choose based off of your given project, they can also convince you that you're capable of cutting in vice taping off all the trim. My wife finally did this and saved a ton of time, not to mention tape, once she got the hang of it. Bottom Line: This is where I go and intend on continuing to go for all my quality paint needs. Check this place out you'll be impressed.

Had to make a trip back because there was one piece both the staff and I didn't consider, but otherwise a successful visit. Purchased some Carhart work pants too which in my opinion are overpriced but not the stores fault. They also have iron out which is helpful when cleaning my rocks and minerals. Didn't purchase any today but it's nice knowing I can come here for certain items of need and knowing that it is in stock.

Selection sucks on what they have and they charge more than anyone else if they do have it, no value there.

I had a TERRIBLE experience…read more I hired Allied Flooring to renovate my bathroom following a flood. On the last day of the renovation (of which the estimated end date was continually pushed out day after day), they caused a pipe leak while removing the vanity. They put small pot under it and left for the entire day and night, causing it to flood the brand new bathroom, into my basement. The contractor installed the flooring over the SOAKED subfloor and didn't tell anyone until I showed up and saw it. They refused to hire emergency water mitigation, telling me they'd buy a fan at Home Depot. I called my insurance and got those services. After many emails and calls, the manager, Gary, would not give me the insurance information of the contractor. (Speaking of the contractor, a friend who was painting in the house heard the subcontractor bragging about how he only hires felons.) Anyway, I had to hire legal assistance to eventually get the owners attention to pay the insurance deductible for water mitigation. He claimed he never heard of the incident until I sent a legal letter demanding insurance information or payment. The day I contacted my insurance, the manager, Gary, went to see the damage. He was over an hour and a half late, and I had to leave before he got there. When I got back the next day, I saw they retaliated and had stolen tools given to me by my late father, and that they sawed my wall-mounted stainless steel paper towel holder in half and took the part they cut off. The house was empty aside from my tools, and "Danny" (the subcontractor) and Gary were the only people with access to the house. These people are dishonest thieves with no sense of personal or professional integrity. Stay far, far away.

Couch broke a few weeks ago because the branch joinsts have no proper joins, it's just stapled together. I wanted to refund it, but it turns out the Premium 5-year warranty doesn't do shit.
