“Best one of a kind hardware store in Metro west. Service cannot be better. I find it even better than Harvey’s Hardware that was my go to for over 40 years. A lot of the employees went to Green’s when Harvey’s closed.”
“Had a great experience! Edgar went above and beyond. He helped me choose paint for my project and even helped my daughter pick a color for her room. He remembered all the little details down to the paint stirrers. Rob was good too! Quality products, knowledgable staff and I will be back. Definitely recommend the canton location”
“Johnson Paint is truly the best. Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff. I’m consistently impressed with the customer service whenever we stop in or call. I won’t buy paint in Boston from anywhere else!”
“The folks here are super helpful and friendly. They are patient with homeowners looking to DIY, which is surprisingly rare around here. They carry high quality paints. Highly recommend them for your next project.”
“As a first time homeowner, I had an exceptional experience here with Marc, the color and design consultant. He was patient and knowledgeable and helped picked colors for each of our rooms with ease. I had multiple visits where he was always available and willing to help, in person or virtually. Exceptional service that other stores require appointments and fees for!! I highly recommend Marc and the Drive in Paint Mart.”
“Great paint shop! I stumbled upon it while in the area needing some paint mixed up. I’ll now go out of my way when I need some paint supplies. Great staff too.”
“Come here for your paint needs! Thanks to Damon, I will in the future. I originally ordered paint online during a big sale and arranged to pick up at the Allston store, confirmed by email and phone a week in advance regarding what specific day I would be picking up, and then showed up that day only to find a physical sign on the door that they decided to close for the weekend. I was left with only an hour to figure out a solution before the painter showed up. Ended up going to Sherwin-Williams in Southie where Damon saved the day and an expensive job on a tight timeline. He not only was willing to honor the sale price, but mixed the paint right away as we waited. I will definitely be returning to this specific Sherwin-Williams for all my paint needs and hope to meet Damon each time. Thanks, Damon!”
“If I could, I would give this store six stars! We were looking for an uncommon paint that multiple Home Depot locations just couldn't help with. Some said the paint was discontinued, while others told me the paint code I had was wrong. I looked on line and saw this store fairly near to where I live. We walked in, and the gentleman working immediately asked us if we needed help? I told him just the paint code and he immediately said all the other details by heart! My wife and I were shocked! This man was a true professional and an expert in his field. He promptly went over and grabbed the paint for us. He asked us if we needed it shaken? He was already walking over to the machine as he asked us. This was the fastest, most fluid retail interaction I have had in years! He quickly helped us get rollers and other bits of kit to finish our project. No lie, I think we were in the store less than 7 minutes! My wife was so shocked at how great this representative was, she said out loud "So Professional!" Excellent experience!”

“I absolutely love this place. They have mixed up all of the paint I have needed to redo my entire condominium. The staff is so helpful and if you are extra lucky, Ruby the golden retriever might be snoozing in the back.”
“Excellent store, great quality paint, helpful and patient advice. They truly seem more concerned with helping you get good results and choose colors you will like than selling stuff. The actual prices with discounts and such are very competitive and a solid value for the quality. Having them local is an added bonus.”
“This paint shortage has left all of us scrambling, but your employee Drew has gone above and beyond in helping us find more material from other locations. He was friendly and personable and so helpful in our search.”
“I came into the store and I did not know what color paint I wanted or how to use any tools and the attendees were very helpful and assisting me with everything that I needed. I will definitely come back!”
“I have been shopping here for a few years and find the two usual staff members to be the best in customer service. They are always extremely friendly and couldn't be more helpful and knowledgeable. On this recent visit the young man helped me to review numerous color options and paint grades. Your products are better than any other I have tried. All other paint seems like colored water compared with the rich thick SW paints. The staff even offers to help carry out my purchase to the car. Just excellent service in every way!”
“Coolidge Hardware is our go to place when we want professional service and need high quality products. We have been going to Coolidge Hardware for over 30 years for high quality paint, paint brushes, hardware (screws, locks, keys...) and advice. I once brought a small chip off of an old wall we were repairing, and they were able to match the paint EXACTLY. Always professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful!”
“This store is close to home and there's always a helpful staff on hand. Prices are reasonable. And I'm never in the store for more than 10 minutes or so. Very quick shopping. It's much more pleasant shopping here than going to one of the larger hardware stores.”
“Sales associate was friendly and knowledgable. He was able to make a perfect match of the paint sample that was provided.Much better experience than you would ever get at a big box store.”
“Loved our experience! We needed A LOT of paint and the staff was incredibly helpful and informative. We highly recommend this store for any future paint projects!”

“Super convenient spot for paint and painting supplies in the Cambridge/Somerville area with reasonable prices. The clientele definitely skews toward professional painters who know exactly what they need, and the pacing for getting paint mixed reflects that. However, the staff is quick and friendly toward home diy folks as well. It really helps if you do some basic research as far as what kind of paint/colors you want because the space is relatively small, and dawdling customers can quickly be in the way of people looking to get in and out swiftly.”
“I recently purchased 10+ 1-gallon paints from three staffs at the store in Needham. All of them are knowledgeable and helpful, especially Patty, the store manager. Glad to have such a local paint store to save a few trips to Home Depot or Lowe's.”
“I have sourced various paints and painting related supplies over 12 times the past year and have found both the knowledge and customer service to be truly excellent! I have primarily dealt with Wally the Store Manager and his associate John and both have proven to be highly knowledgeable with the entire range of Benjamin Moore paints and stains. Wally is most polite and courteous and has proven himself over the past year to be a perfect gentleman! John is also very knowledgeable and is a true gentleman! I have complete confidence in dealing with this business in terms of product quality and knowledge along with customer service, thus I give them my highest possible rating!”
