Over the years, both of us have done multiple fabulous interior painting projects using Sherwin-Williams paints. My husband and I even had a really good Sherwin-Williams exterior project: painting the shabby stucco wall of our neighbor's garage. That exterior paint has held up great for several years. But our other outdoor Sherwin-Williams project has been a disaster. We have raised wooden beds in our backyard. When we expanded them, we decided to go top-of-the-line with Sherwin-Williams stain instead of our usual hardware store brand. I took pictures of our project and had a wonderful consultation with the employee there, and felt 100% positive that our new stain would be fabulous. We did all the prep properly and followed all the instructions. And, a mere year later, the stain began to flake. Two years later, and it looks embarrassingly bad. It's flaked up in huge chunks and I AM MAD. Again, we consulted properly and did all the proper prep and insured that we were using the correct products. That being said, I do feel like the staff there are/were lovely. And I've loved all of our other Sherwin-Williams paint projects. But I will never buy an exterior Sherwin-Williams product again.

After watching YouTube videos about painting old floors white I called Sherwin-Williams and by a lucky chance I got Fay and she helped me get started. This was a bigger project than I realized and without Fay's expertise I would have been so lost! I had no idea there were so many shades of white So after I realized I painted my floors a shade of white that looks way too cool I went back to the store and talked to Fay and she suggested a paint color called Greek Villa! She explained a lot of the different white hues this gal is literally a paint wizard. I went home and repainted and WOW my floors look incredible! The staff at this store are all super nice and knowledgeable! Thank you Fay and crew

BEWARE DIVISION HARDWARE REPAIRS…read more An employee of Division Hardware (37th & Division) who does all the repair work RUINED my screen door, charged me $500, said they would be back to fix it, doesn't answer texts, store owner doesn't care. My screen door came back banged up and missing a chunk of wood; the screens almost immediately came out; the trim wood is falling off; the stain is splotchy, uneven, and missing in spots. They also busted the door lock but I went to Hippo and they fixed that. I would avoid this store for repairs if i were you because they do the worst work I've ever encountered and don't stand behind it either.

Sherwin-Williams is obviously a big chain store, so the experience and products can only vary so much. However, this store's employees were efficient and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, it's in a weird location that's kind of hard to get to. The small parking lot is sandwiched by many-lane, quick-moving roads. for ease of access I would go to other stores, unless I were already in this area or they had a product that was out of stock elsewhere. As with any Sherwin-Williams, I recommend keeping an eye out for their 30-40% off sales that happen periodically throughout the year.

But, when it came time to do some touch-up paint on our 1928 bungalow, we decided to use the same brand that had been used by the previous owner: Rodda. Luckily, we had some old paint cans on hand, so Rodda was able to make us new gallons of paint to the same specifications as the old paint. The new Rodda paint is, of course, bolder and brighter than the aged paint. But it still looks really good. Even better, the Rodda applied like butter! It self-leveled, leaving very few drip marks. (Our beloved Sherwin Williams trim paint, on the other hand, left a ton of drip marks and imperfections.) The Rodda cured really well, even though we were applying it in rare dry spells during a rainy and cold fall. We're huge fans of Rodda now, and will use them for all our exterior paint in future!

Which by the way is vastly different than my previous Old English Tudor. To give my powder room personality and a WOW factor, I decided to wallpaper the small room rather than do a tile application which would have tripled the cost. My contractor recommended this Miller Paint location saying they had the best wallpaper selection in Portland. I didn't want the garish wallpaper of my youth and had a particular idea in mind. Enter Karen, the Wallpaper Goddess. I described a large, bold, chevron pattern in shades of gray and gray-blues. Karen walks to a wall loaded with books, picked out three, flipped to a few pages and I said, stop, that's it, that is what is in my head! Went home and put the book in the powder room and immediately called Karen and placed the order (Candace Olson design.) Karen even helped me find an installer. Next I decided to do an accent wall in my Master bedroom. Again, I had something very specific in mind. So specific I was contemplating hiring an artist to paint the wall. When I described the design concept to Karen she said, you don't have to hire an artist, you are describing Cork wallpaper. Again she goes over to the huge assortment of books, selects a few, opens to a page and on the first try, there was the exact pattern I had envisioned, exactly like a pic I clipped from a magazine and showed Karen. Ordered it on the spot. (Another Candace Olson design.) Three times a charm and so when I decided that I needed one more accent wall, this time in the foyer, I came back to see the Wizard. I described a wall that would have texture, colors and reminiscent of sand on the beach, with specs of shiny gray to pull in the color of the opposing walls and to provide a subtle sparkle. Karen said, do you mean you want Mica? I said I don't know what Mica is, I just know what is in my head. She brings me a book, and once again, right on the money. Seriously, how does she do this? Karen is incredible! She has also helped me pick out paint colors to work with existing tile and carpet. Nailed it every single time. Karen thinks I'm amazing because I pick out wallpaper on the first try and some people spend weeks coming and going with arms full of wallpaper books. Well, I know what I want and Karen magically produces it, so no need to waste time! Decisive is my game. In addition to her talents, Karen is super nice to work with. I'm bummed that my house is completely done as we made a good team! Don't be afraid of wallpaper. The designs these days are incredible and they can transform your space. Go to Miller Paint, grab some popcorn on the first floor, and walk up the steps to the wallpaper area and let Karen do her magic. Oh, and all the people working in the paint area are also professional, friendly and helpful. Great staff all the way around! Wish every store was like this. There is a huge parking lot so parking is a breeze, and they carry your paint and purchases to your car. Tell Karen I sent you!
