“I love this store and the staff and I absolutely love the Farrow and Ball paint quality. You cannot match these colors and quality - it looks different in different lighting - it's alive.
I've done 3 projects so far with this paint (including wood) and am just starting on the third!”

“super nice and informative staff, went there years ago for paint and got great suggestions.
stopped in just this morning to pick up some wood stain and the samples they had out were so helpful to see in person, there's just no comparison to squinting at digital samples online and seeing wildly different colors everywhere.
they were responsive over email too which i really appreciate!”
“The painters did a very nice job. Even small details were handled professionally. I will definitely use them again with other projects I have in the future. Danny was very helpful in getting me started on this project.”
“A very friendly guy with a great beard took me around personally to find all my items (and discuss them) despite my family and I arriving 10 minutes from closing time. Amazing service. I have deleted all other hardware stores from my mind.”
“Good stock for a small location in the heart of the city! There staff is usually overly kind and helpful when your kind to them. Great people to help you with any household, residential & commercial needs in real estate or personal art projects.”
“Incredibly helpful and patient staff. I've never had a bad experience with the crew at Mark's Paint. I was in recently to look at wood stain and a team member went out of their way to make swatches so that I could see the end result of various stain colors. I never felt rushed or in the way. Great place for anything paint/stain related.”
“Never thought I would review a hardware store but the people that work at Coles really make it something special. They are all so sweet and helpful! Not to mention they really do have everything you might need.. love this place!”
“If you are attentive , you notice the clean and simple nature of the signage ; and that for me is somewhat of a reflection of the building services they hopefully provide .

“Excellent paint shop with great service. I relied on them for renovations at our home and they have plenty of supplies like sanding sponges, caulking + tools, and paint brushes and rollers. The paint match technology is accurate and a life-saver for restoring walls that were painted many years ago. Highly recommend!”
“The best paint store in San Francisco, bar none. Extensive selection and fantastic service provided by this long time neighborhood family business, established in 1988. Pick your own paint or have Adela assist you - she's got an excellent eye. Prices are reasonable.”
“I broke a hose head one time and they gladly gave me a replacement. They always have the gardening, plumbing and automotive stuff that I need. I’ve never had a problem. Great place.”
“This store has the best customer service! I placed an online order for in-store pickup and was not able to get the order within the timeframe. I really wanted the order so I called and spoke to a really nice gentleman on the phone and asked if I could provide a prepaid shipping label so they could send the items to me. They agreed! Toby helped me and shipped it out the same day. Best service ever. Thank you so much!”
“The staff are super helpful and knowledgeable
; they have a nice showroom to show the paints; they were prompt with a quick walk-in order; and the final results were amazing!”

“These guys have helped me find and match obscure paints, and get it just perfect every time. I’ve used them several times and it’s always been a good experience.”
“Super friendly, knowledgeable staff. I came in with an idea and they talked to me about how to get the outcome I wanted.
They have a beautiful variety of supplies and can special order art supplies too.”
“I go to the 750 Bryant store regularly and the staff is incredible! Monty and the others have full knowledge of the products & applications. They are quick to wait on you & I’m never left waiting, important to busy contractors. I give it 10 ⭐️!”
“I called about a product that Homax the manufacturer recommended I call PPg and they were very helpful. Although they didn't carry the item. Luis went above and beyond to help me over the phone and find me alternatives. He wa a honest and very helpful amd professional”
“Very helpful service. I was looking for a paint color in the beige family to repaint old worn cabinets. The associate took time to go through 6 options. I ended up selecting a smoky beige. I love the outcome! The paints here are top quality. I’ve added some before and after photos. A huge difference.”

“Awesome place that sales you your car paint by paint code love it. And the customer service was amazing I think the Girls name was Rosa but she helped me out and went above and beyond for me she’s the reason I decided to give a review. Thank you!”
“I’ve sopped this store for years, and will continue to do so. Yes, the place is super cramped, but that’s because it’s packed “to the gills” with just about anything you might need to do any repairs around your house.
I’m genuinely confused about the negative customer service comments…. I’ve never had a bad customer service experience and the employees can generally find what I need even when I couldn’t articulate the exact item, only what I was trying to accomplish (bringing the “old” part your replacing helps them figure it out btw). Maybe those were one-off “bad moment” type things - but regardless of whether it the older or younger generation of the family working that day, or the hired help - I’ve always been able to get what I need with friendly assistance.”
“The most fabulous, friendly customer service one could hope for. I was repainting my office and had brought in a paint chip sample to color-match, that turned out to be too small, and I didn't have time to go back and forth. One of the staff heard my plight and came out to help me see if we could color-match it by sight (he said he was good) from the sample cards on the wall. I kid you not, we found a perfect match (he was good)!!!! I do think the original paint had likely come from Sherwin-Williams, which was a huge help, but seriously, I could not have been more stoked. They helped me make sure I had what I needed, and when I returned a week later for more paint to do a second accent wall, they remembered me by name and were just as helpful. It's so nice to go to a local business where people really care.”
“I can't say enough good things about my experience with Max! I had some sun damage on the roof of my car, and Max was incredibly helpful in locating the color information I needed. He found me the exact match, which I really appreciated. Not only did he provide great info, but the level of service was even better! If you're looking for someone knowledgeable and dedicated, Max is your go-to person. Highly recommend!”
“I swung by this store, today, a couple minutes after 12:00pm, their closing time. When Alex saw me, practically in tears, and needing only 1 gallon of exterior home paint, he graciously agreed to reopen and provided me the best customer service ever. I know this store almost exclusively serves contractors, and trade folks, so Alex going out of his way for a $50 sale from one lone homeowner, well that went WAY above and beyond. Thank you, thank you, thank you Alex! Sherwin Williams is now the ONLY place I'll ever go for paint.”
“Friendly, helpful knowledgeable service. Wasn't very busy, clean store well stocked. Easy fast transaction. To explain the minus one star: only because there is very little room for parking in the lot and sometimes street parking is not very close. as a small person walking to my car with a gallon of paint was just a little inconvenient.”
