“I went into Richmond Hardware today to find some mechanical bolts and nuts to replace the broken ones on my collapsible camping chair. I was met by the manager/owner(?) who paged an employee to assist me in selecting the proper length and width of the bolts and nuts. Matt examined the broken piece and selected a proper replacement bolt for each of the broken pieces. I thought that I would be spending my afternoon with pliers and a wrench. But to my surprise, Matt attached the bolts and tightened the nuts. I definitely recommend Richmond Hardware for their courteous employees and expert service. Thank you.”
“My experience was excellent. First I met with Anna who helped me with my wallpaper selection and also with paint colors for my kitchen. She patiently worked with me find the perfect color. I also decided to paint the legs of my butcher block cart. She helped choosing that color as well and it was perfect. Evan gave me lots of pointers on how to go about painting it like painting from the bottom up and I totally understand now why that has to be. He recommended a type of paint that is tougher than usual but still latex, which brush to use and told me I didn't need to sand which was a relief. Here is a photo of how my wallpaper and paint turned out. I couldn't be happier. Thank you Johnson Paint!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 Sherwin Williams location is the best on the south shore. Sameer & the team are friendly, professional & knowledgeable. Our orders are always prepared on time and they take the time to ask our opinion on new products. We highly recommend them for all of your painting & home improvement needs.”
“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!”

“These guys were great - we had a color mix up (computer not human error) and I was so impressed. They were able to adjust the already custom paint color to bring it into an acceptable match. That takes some skill. They stand behind their product. My go-to paint store from now on.”
“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!”
“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.”
“You can get pretty much anything you need to do body work the only downfall is you need to have a credit card or a check the only place I have ever been that does not take cash”
“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!”
“The gentleman working this morning at 9 to 10am and he was on point. We had a large paint order and supplies and he courteous patiently waited on us and was knowledgeable when asked questions.”
“While we are regular customers of your Randolph location, this paint shortage has left us scrambling. While on the hunt for more paint, I was lucky enough to speak with Katie at the Dorchester location and let me tell you-she is a gem! You are lucky to have such a helpful, pleasant and efficient employee. She has gone above and beyond for us during this frantic time and we are so grateful.”
“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.”

“They were very friendly and helpful choosing paint. They offer eco options. They were even so kind as to absorb the cost when they prepared a paint for me and I ended up needing a different color. They also carried the paint to my car without me asking. Definitely recommend.”
“Came in on a Saturday morning in May and the man working there was very helpful in terms of product and price options. He was also super friendly and nice. Glad this store is so close to where we live.”
“Brian was so helpful with finding the perfect color and describing the different qualities to choose from. He’s great at his job and I was very impressed with the service I received!”
“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.”

“I'd like to thank two women who helped me yesterday with a problem I was having with a cooking thermometer. The woman behind the counter showed me where to find a tool that I needed. The woman working the floor found the batteries that I needed. Ultimately I decided that the device itself was defective, and didn't buy either item, but I want to thank these women for their patience and understanding yesterday.”
“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.”
“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.”
“They were able to identify the color of paint on aftermarket MSI wheels for a BMW. They prepared a spray can and small container of paint to use with a brush. These guys are friendly and competent.”
“Alex at Sherwin-Williams was great! He was super helpful mixing up some paint for me, even though it involved a lot of codes. What really stood out is that he remembered me from a few months ago when I was working on a similar project. That kind of personalized service makes a huge difference. Highly recommend!”
“I know Benjamin Moore paints are the standard for new England, but S-W has excellent paint, great customer service, great variety of items, and is often more convenient. My research says that S-W paints are of the same high quality as Benjamin Moore. So you have a choice!”
“Wallpaper city has been absolutely amazing with our home renovations. From paint, to blinds, to radiator covers, they are so helpful, their products are impeccable and their customer service is amazing. We feel so grateful to be able to patron a store like this and that it’s close to where we live. Would highly recommend!”
