“The level of customer service here is excellent. I have a retrofitted grooming van with all kinds of custom hoses and fittings. One of them broke and I had a major leak. I explained my problem to Mike and he was able to retrofit a toilet supply line, a hose barb, and clamps to create what I needed. He cut and fitted everything on the spot. I will be coming here for all my hardware needs in the future.”
“I’ve purchased a ton of paint from this Benjamin Moore and It’s always been a great experience. Their customer service is top-notch and a huge shout out to John in particular! The street was recently blocked off and I had purchased over 20 gallons of paint to pick up. I was able to find parking a few blocks away and John loaded them up in a cart and brought them directly to my car and helped me load them up. Now that is Outstanding customer service and it truly made my day.”
“They have such an extensive plant selection. And everyone is so informative, welcoming and helpful. Jonathan helped load our
Plants and gave us all the ins and outs in plant care. Will be back!!:)”
“It's a small jar but a little goes a long way! I'm having fun trying it on different colors to see which I like it on most. Excited to redo furniture next! It's so pretty!”
“This is a small neighborhood hardware store but they keep an impressive array of hardware, tools, paint, garden, and "lifestyle" items for most DIY projects. Where the big box stores are geared to accommodate contractors, Annie's aims for the individual and their residence. Staff is always friendly, the store is well staffed for their size so there's always someone available for questions or assistance. I really appreciate a hardware store that can still operate in the neighborhood without leveling 15 acres. Factoring in my time and general frustration with large box stores, the prices for a quick trip down the street are competitive with other options.”
“My experience with Ace Hardware is solely from where I grew up in CT. This is a lot different, in a better way (I guess that’s a subjective thought). I was “used to” an unorganized place full of actual hardware from a-z as well as a lot of indoor/outdoor paint and a paint mixer. In short, I was used to Ace hardware being targeted at real handymen in the midst of a project and in need or something very specific.This store is like “a little of everything” for every part of your apartment. It’s walkable from a lot of apartments around here, and it sells all sorts of things you might need in your apartment (you don’t need to be a handyman or hardcore DIY-er to find a bunch of useful things). A huge variety of things you might need in a pinch. Granted, most are really overpriced, but I wouldn’t complain because it’s all about convenience and location. If you complain about the prices, go ahead and drive into Virginia, lose an hour of your day and walk up and down a huge store. Overall, the convenience and variety in this store is worth slightly higher prices. Nice people, as well.”

“I'm a new customer to Regal Paint Centers. I usually go to the big box stores for paint. This time, I needed a speciality paint called Romabio masonry flat and Regal was one of the only local retailers who had it in stock. They also color match and tint the paint on site. I received excellent customer service from Jose and the staff at Regal Paint Centers in Silver Spring. Jose went above and beyond to provide advice and direction for my project.”
“Great selection and very friendly and helpful employees. Recent trip David went above and beyond to help maximize our coupons and find the right planting materials for us. Thank you!”
“Fragers is my go-to hardware store. I am not a DIY person as a routine, and need assistance and guidance when undertaking some house projects. This visit was due to a bathroom vanity that needs repair. The Ace staff helped me match paint colors and gather the tools I would need. One of the stain colors was a bit off (the label showed a different color than the contents) but everything else was perfect.”
“Go-to retail shop for all things creative and DIY. Especially if you are one to look for inspiration in-person rather than on Pinterest, you should wander here to find your next project. Kensington has a street dedicated to antique retailers, consignors and upcyclists which goes by "Kensington Antique Row." More information can be viewed at: kensingtonantiquerow.com.”
“Great place to have colors mixed, they know all types of paint and can tint anything. I especially come here for venetian plaster since they're the only place in NOVA who carries it.”

“I've never met a more helpful, knowledgeable staff. I was looking for a color to paint my shutters, and had no idea where to start. The staff, especially Anthony, the manager, guided me every step of the way and made the process painless. I will never go anywhere else for all my paint and related needs!”
“We have used Color Wheel for decorating services for many years. Their service has always been outstanding. Recently we had a problem with wallpaper we ordered through them. Color Wheel worked with the distributor and got a quick and fully satisfactory solution to the problem. They are an indispensable local small business. We will continue to use them for our decorating needs.”
“Johnny at Rockville store was super helpful and patient with me, he's the best, they don't have the product I was looking for and he called 2 diferent location and founded for me. I'll always appreciate that.”
“I use to work at the paint center in Merrifield,. One of the best jobs I ever had. Charlie is great. The whole family is wonderful. I'm glad they are doing well.”
“Anton is really the star. He's knowledgeable about the products and how to apply the products. Thanks, Marcia Smithi2 I am going andThanksThanks6Thanks336”
“Very clean store and plenty of staff. Dedicated parking right in front.
I spoke with Stephen on the phone this morning and he pulled the paint and mixed it while taking my CC info and looking for a coupon for me! This isn’t the store closest to me, but I might go back for my big spring project in May because the staff seems on point.”
“I'm always very happy with my experience from the Sherwin Williams Silver Spring store. All of the staff are incredibly nice and professional. From my most recent purchase, they went the extra mile and dropped my order off for me.”
“I had a great experience coming here. Especially getting knowledgeable feedback from Jalen - he was very helpful providing tips on how to fix and what to use for my DIY project. I came here a bit nervous and left feeling confident and hopeful. Thank you again Jalen ??”
“Just visited this store to pick up an online order. The staff, whose name is Raven, was super nice, smiling all the way. Very impressive! I will definitely visit this store again for future projects. Thank you, Raven!”
“Phenomenal customer service. Steven listened to what I was asking for and guided me to the right options. In and out in no time. I will absolutely come back to this store in the future.”
“This shop’s services is always great. Today I am so impressed by Brendon W.. He is very patient and kind to assist me finding an order history of a unique painting color I ordered two years ago.”
“I’d like to send a special thanks to Ronald for his advice, he was nice and INCREDIBLY helpful with determining which specific paint and sheen I should apply in my bathroom and foyer. At first I was a tad bit skeptical but after my painters were done I was extremely pleased!!!”
“We had a great experience this afternoon at SW in Falls Church. Rayner was super helpful. He helped us choose our paints and supplies, and also gave us several discounts. Saved us 35%! We're hoping his bosses see this - He's an effective salesman. We'll be recommending the Falls Church SW and Rayner, specifically, to any friends or family looking to paint this Spring.”

“As a professional painter, this place has been a pretty regular stop for me the last few years. The service and quality are outstanding. It is the only place I would even consider taking something to be color matched. Once you start using Benjamin Moore, you won't go back to anything else.”
“This is what hardware stores are suppose to be like.... have a questions, someone helps you shows you things.... The service here is top notch !!! Thanks for being part of local community and making Glen Echo special”
