“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.”
“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!”
“It has to be the biggest and best Ace Hardware in existence. Better than any Home Depot or Lowes. I loved the staff, super friendly and attentive. It gives over the feeling of a village vibe.... Where attention to details matter”
“I can't say enough good things about this place. Regardless of which employee I deal with, they give me amazing service. Keep up the good work. Thank you.”
“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.”
“Friendly and professional service. I appreciated that someone greeted me right when I walked in and that he helped me find what I needed. The cashier was also kind and helpful when I called ahead to check inventory. This is traditional customer service done right.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Came in not knowing anything. Wilfred the employee who helped me was super helpful, didn’t know one person could know so much about paint.A true expert on the job. Who also made me laughWouldn’t be suprised if he was baptized with paint instead of holy water”

“Had an excellent experience at Sherwin Williams in Arlington, MA. Everyone was very professional and helpful. Aaron, in particular, was highly knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Thank you.”
“Went in to get some paint for work, it was close to closing time but Daniel didn't care. He was super helpful and very pleasant, and even let me know about a promo on the paint I needed to purchase. Great experience. I would definitely recommend this location!”
“This Store Manager is awesome and made our daunting house painting experience fantastic. Truth be told...after we decided on Sherwin Williams - we shopped around a bit. We hit a few different Sherwin Williams locations and asked color and paint quality questions. We were kind of taking votes on exterior trim and accent colors and picking the brains of employees regarding a bunch of scenarios including this horrendous unrelenting humidity and how the exterior paint would fare. After an amazing experience with a Sherwin Williams Zoom Color Consultation with a enthusiastic, experienced, patient and extremely helpful gal named Aimee - we decided on the colors and just needed to purchase the paint. The assistance at the Sherwin Williams stores we had previously visited was just okay. I happened to see this Wimington location while in the area for my dentist appointment, so I stopped in. Hemant greeted me with a big smile when I walked in. You could tell he was a great guy, with great energy and he liked his job. I told him about our project and he was friendly, and helpful and so good-natured. Unfortunately, you don't see much of that these days. I asked about coupons and he explained the various sales that the store runs, he showed me discounted cans for any other projects I might want to do and told me about the diferences inthe paint qualities. I thanked him, grabbed his card and knew I would be driving way out of my way to give him my business - just like I do with my dentist. We just bought the paint today. He was his usual awesome, engaging self and even asked to see photos once we are done. Love this guy and I highly recommend this particular location because of him.”
“Wonderful friendly staff who helped me not only design my new kitchen but also assisted me with the remodel of the doors and windows first AND the appliances to make it complete!”
“I called City Paint on Mass Ave yesterday morning and had the best service over the phone from Leigh. She took time and answered all of my questions, explaining everything that I needed. Went to the store and received excellent and professional service and from both Leigh and Marc. They were knowledgeable, helpful, and very courteous. It was a wonderful experience.”
“Went to two Home Depots and called an Ace Hardware looking for something that they didn't have. Saw this store on the way home and pulled over to give it a shot. They sorted me out in about 2 minutes. Now I know what order to do my hardware shopping in.”
“A great little community based hardware store. It has limited offerings which makes it difficult to compete with bigger box stores. I support my local businesses and find it's important to keep these types of staples to make our community vibrant.”
“Super helpful and friendly staff here, they were happy to order letter-sized paint chips for us to help us make the final selection for wall colors. The parking is easy I am in the process of painting our living room and I find myself visiting the store a couple times a week for this and that.”
“Had a great experience here! The staff person at the desk (didn't get his name) was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Clean and neat store, everything you need for a painting or staining project.”
“I’ve been painting for 30+ years and I have to say that Dave and the staff have been the best I’ve dealt with. Always friendly and willing to help. Thank you guys very much!”
“I came in a little nervous of not knowing where to start when getting a paint and other stuff for painting. Caroline had so much patient in explaining everything. The store seemed busy for one person as she paid attention to customers needs. Very professional.”
“Tino's did a great job repainting our home and fixing exterior moldings and trim. They were punctual, detail-oriented, on budget and left a clean worksite behind when completed. The house looks great and we have received a lot of compliments, both on how it looks but also from people who regularly walk our street and saw their daily work/process.”
