Here's why you should make all your paint related purchases at East Bay Paint Center (and resist…read morelooking for cheaper brushes and whatnot at Home Depot or Amazon). First, they carry Benjamin Moore paint and it's the best. You can pay much more for paint or slightly less, but either way that's silly. Benjamin Moore always has terrific colors and texture and great durability. Any time I've hired professional painters, this is the line they use. We need to keep this business thriving so we can always get a same-day gallon of Chantilly Lace (if you know you know). Second, they have everything paint related under one roof. Your time is valuable and you can't go to two stores looking for the wide painters tape or that butcher paper stuff to cover the floor. Third, their service is above and beyond. You order online and your stuff waits for you on a shelf outside for immediate grabbing. You walk in and someone asks you what you need. Amazing. I put their service to the test today by ordering a sample size of Dark Taupe paint, placing it on the roof of my car while I loaded other things, then driving off. When I realized what I had done (and I did it -- you can see my Dark Taupe paint splatter in their parking lot), I returned to apologize and reorder and found they had REFILLED MY ORDER and placed it on the shelf without comment. You think Home Depot would have done that?!

I specially told the manager by phone I was sending my dad to pickup and pay. Instead they scammed him and out crap on the order he didn't need. When I called the manager to ask why they did this she yelled at me and said "they are already mixed the color" and I can't change anything. What a scam!!! Now I need to get an attorney. She should have apologized to me me for changing my order without my permission, instead she yelled at me. They take advantage that an old man showed up to pay to meet their sales goals. What a scam!!! They charged items not authorized!! I had to escalate to district manager

Even though a wood glue recommendation we tried didn't end up working for my specific fix, his willingness to share his knowledge and problem-solve with me was outstanding.

I went in and asked where I could find batteries for my gate remote. I was instructed by the girls at the counter to go back and take a number. Unfortunately, that old lady in the back was not helpful as usual. She said she couldn't help me with it. She showed me where the batteries are so I could buy them. I had to buy a screwdriver in order to open the remote. The owner was at the back counter behind the cashiers drinking his coffee and eating. He was glaring at me and I don't know why. He used to be so friendly and smiled and was very helpful. What the hell happened?!?!? if I wanted this kind of treatment, I would've went to Home Depot.
