We therefore gave a 1 star review on Yelp. However, Sherwin Williams District Manager, John Walters came to look at the issue in person. He said the problem was caused by overspray, and said the store would give our money back on the unused material. 5 stars for John, who was super friendly, made sense, was appreciative of our many years we have done business with his company. He restored our confidence in Sherwin Williams and we will surely keep buying product from them!

This was my first time visiting this paint store. I was moving from LA to Santa Barbara. I got my…read morepaint from my LA paint store, where always went. My LA paint place made a mistake on the colors. Since the brand was Benjamin Moore, I had to find a Benjamin Moore paint store in Santa Barbara -- which is how I came to SB Paint Depot, and BOY was I happy I did. Daniela was amazingly helpful. I was struggling with explaining my issue, because I had the very old paint can I had brought to my LA paint store. I could not understand why the color in the new can was so off. The LA Store had not noticed that my formula from my old can had been customized, even though I asked them to be sure to follow the formula. Thanks to Daniela's sharp observation stills, we figured out what had happened. Then I was finding it hard to decide on going with the full color formula or making it lighter. She helped me navigate that too! Daniela also helped me figure out how to go about making sure I'd be happy with the color. The list regarding all the ways she helped me goes on. She is the MVP of SB Paint Depot for sure!!! She also had my paint carried out to my car by Omar, who was also very nice. ALL THE WAY!

Unlike some of the other "professional" paint stores in town, these guys actually have prices listed, and are able and willing to answer product questions without appearing bothered or condescending. Overall a super friendly and welcoming environment for both the professional and non-professional alike. I've also found Sherwin Williams paint to be top notch in terms of quality. A bit pricey, but these guys run enough sales that it's easy to score some really good deals on both paint and supplies.

The paint has held up incredibly well over the years, they have hundreds of colors and several sheens/types to choose from and custom color matches are quick and easy.

So quick and easy when I need to grab a quart of touch-up paint for a bedroom - highly recommend Dunn-Edwards!

My painters were waiting at the job site to get the paint. A woman who eventually identified herself as "The Manager" provided me some of the worst customer service I have ever had from a retail store in many years. Her name is Aliza Aldatzi and she was rude, curt, arrogant and just totally lacking in customer service skill. In the past experiences at this store I have never seen her and my orders were taken by "Johnny". I buy a lot of paint as I remodel homes but I will make sure I avoid this Vista Paint store because who needs more bad service in their lives?

I usually get excellent personal service and thoughtful advice from this locally owned Ace Hardware…read morein Santa Barbara. It's one of the reasons I like supporting them over the big box stores. That said, I recently had a frustrating experience with a paint purchase. I bought 3 gallons of Cabot semi-solid stain in Oak Brown during a promotion--about $15 less per gallon than the other local paint supplier. I assumed the color would match the same brand and shade used during my 2023 remodel (leftover from my painter), but the result was quite different. Instead of a rich dark chocolate tone that matched my home's trim and fascia boards, the stain came out with lighter red-brown hues--more milk chocolate than expected. I brought the stain back to have it shaken again and asked the paint clerk for advice, but unfortunately the response was defensive and unhelpful. Lesson learned: when it comes to matching existing stain, go back to the original source and always do a test patch--especially for something as visible as a large deck. I'll continue shopping at this Ace for many things, but I'll be more cautious about stain and paint purchases in the future.
