“Looking to repaint interiors of our home,looking for new colors to change up things. Shelly calmly took time to help us narrow our choices and guide toward a decision. Very good.”
“A great neighborhood hardware store, with people ready to help and lots of products available. Parking is convenient and the location is close to downtown but in a residential neighborhood”
“Do NOT go a store that doesn’t specialize in paint. Expertise is an undervalued commodity in our society, especially for those who read a couple Wikipedia articles, watch a YouTube video, and think they’re an expert. A store where people have true expertise from experience & want to share it is a treasured find.
So go to a paint store. Not only that, go to a *good* paint store. I’ve been to a couple in Iowa City and Pittsburgh Paints is the only one I come back to.
Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and great service. The paint itself in a class above a big box. I made the mistake of getting exterior trim color from one of the big guys and guess what I’m redoing this spring after one winter? While Pittsburgh’s main color looks as good as when I put it on - and that’s with their mid-tier paint.
Getting ready for interior & Pittsburgh’s sampler covered in one coat (nobody else’s did) and looked evenly applied even with a mini-roller. Again, PPG’s mid-tier against mid & top-tier lines from other brands. No contest.
Love getting paint from Pittsburgh… except it means I have to paint”
“Justin did a great job matching our cabinet stain. Another paint company just made no effort and did a lousy job. Justin put some time and experience into it and came up with numerous acceptable choices and two winners. Much appreciated, Justin.”
“Above and beyond customer service. When the item I bought wouldn’t fit in my car the employees immediately volunteered to deliver it to my house and did it right away. Great neighborhood hardware store.”
