So, went there for years at Maine Paint. And folks are usually helpful. I went there recently,…read moreserved by a young man, who, while not exactly combative made it clear that what he said was gospel. Defiant, perhaps. Anyway, I want a gloss because it is a little tougher. He insisted that this is not so, and it shows imperfections, which I mentioned didn't matter to me. Since these arguments didn't work, he insisted that the paint that I wanted didn't come in gloss, that they'd have to add something to it, and this is not a good idea. I walked out, got the match I wanted at Home Depot.

When we enter the store, there always seems to be clustered chaos by the customer service desk, not sure why, but sometimes it's kind of in the way of guests trying to pass by. We have always had to try to find things on our own, but it would be nice if there was a staff member available to help for finding obscure things. We typically got to the Paint desk and that person has to radio for help. We wish the online product information for the local store stock was more accurate, but I know that may be hard to track in real time. We always use self-check out and the staff there is very attentive and on the spot to help and or clean the station after each use. It's a fine place to go if you're in the area.

Big store hard to find staff in the floor. Great friendly helpful guy at the customer service desk…read more Other staff were distracted, disconnected and were generally no help. Great prices in what I did find on my own

First step in, I love it! Tons of people helping customers find what they are looking for. As soon as I walked in someone asked if they could help me with anything, and they quickly made my keys for me. I spent time picking out key covers and carabiners. I'm so glad someone told me about this place. It's much closer than driving to other larger stores and they had plenty of stuff! I also can't say enough good things about every one who works here.

I have spent the past few months agonizing over paint colors for every room in my new house. I…read morecannot stand a house where everything is white...and that is exactly what I bought in December. Not only are the walls "white" (maybe they were 40 years ago), but some of them aren't in the best condition. Anyways, I decided to go with SW because they are close to my house and open on Sundays. They have coupons every month, so I don't think it's that much more expensive than other brands. I don't know for sure. The customer service has been wonderful here. My husband and I popped in right after we closed on our new home and we must have had the "first time home owner glow" on our faces as we grabbed 5 million paint swatches off the wall. One of the men working was kind enough to let us "borrow" one of the paint swatch booklet thingies, which I still have two months later. I swear I am going to bring it back once all of the rooms are painted! We've been here at least 3 times in the past three months and everyone who works at this store has been helpful.
