I was having a problem with finishing exterior doors at my office. I stripped, sanded down to bare…read morewood, re-stained, and applied the final spar urethane topcoats. It kept appearing hazy and would not clear up, no matter if I brushed it on, diluted with mineral spirits, or wiped on with a rag. I have gone into every paint store I could find in the St. Pete area big and small with this problem. Even called MinWax twice. I searched online for hours for suggested solutions. Finally, I walked into the Dyco Paints and asked manager James Brown. After I explained everything I had done, he said try using a water-based spar urethane instead of the oil-based I had been using. Well no stores in this area carry it, but I did have it delivered within a day. It solved the problem!! Now I have a very clear urethane topcoat. I cannot believe that of all the places I tried, all the websites I searched, James was the only person that could solve this problem.

This Sherwin Williams store is a great addition to St Pete Beach as the nearest 'big box' home…read moreimprovement store is a solid 25+ minutes away in traffic. It just opened in fall of 2014, is in an excellent location right in the middle of the city near city hall and is very well stocked with anything you could need for a painting project. In addition to paint and paint supplies, there are numerous books of wallpaper options SW also sells. Now, regarding the staff, unfortunately they're still coming up to speed on the product line, so I don't believe they came from another store. For example, my wife asked if there were any paint options that had some sparkle to them; we were confidently told no so we believe it. We kept browsing the store though and what do you know, there is a display for the "Faux Impressions" line of products, which, you guessed it, includes an ingredient that makes it sparkle, or as SW describes it, "Glistening flecks are revealed as your eye follows light reflecting across the surface." So they do indeed have exactly what the sales person told us they didn't. In any case, I'm sure they'll get better with time as the store had only been open for a month or so at the time of our visit.

With that being said Crowder Bros offers more than most. We have been able to purchase specialty plumbing supplies there as well as fishing gear and even Benjamin Moore Paint. Although I would be really specific over at the paint department because no matter which paint I ask for I always end up with a much more expensive version of what I asked for. The staff is very helpful and there is great variety, from tools to fishing gear it's all here! So happy to have this hardware store close by. It seems we always are in needs of something from here!

It's a small, specially paint store that sells much nicer paint than you will find at Home Depot or Lowes. Once you try Benjamin Moore paint, you will never go back to the cheap stuff.

There were two employees working and both were immensely helpful breaking down everything. I spoke with the female more and she went in depth with the levels of the paints and also helped us pair some colors for our door color that we wanted to change up. We would keep the same color on our house and just have it repainted. We went home with a few booklets and a handful of swatches and will go on the color snap studio at home and take a pic of our house and plug in the colors we like.

During the power outage after hurricane Milton, I went to this place instead of Home Depot hoping…read moreto find someone who knew what they were talking about. I wasn't disappointed. I bought post-hurricane supplies, and they helped me with a lantern which had corroded battery terminals, suggesting how to clean them. I also asked about a ceiling fixture that was lit despite having no electric in my house or neighborhood. They thought there might be something weird in the wiring, but since I thought I had power there I bought a screw-in adapter with a socket thinking I could attach an extension cord and charge my devices. Got home, adapter didn't work: devices didn't receive power. I brought it back, thinking it was defective, but also brought in the lamp. But when I unplugged the lamp, the bulb stayed lit-with no source of electricity! Several of the guys puzzled over it. We figured out that it must be a special kind of bulb that holds power for a while Later I found such bulbs online.
