“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

“This is what used to be called a "mom and pop" hardware store. It's small, by Home Depot standards, but it has an amazing inventory and enough people actually interested in helping you. If you live in the community and have a need for some piece of hardware, a tool, or fixture of some kind...come here first. If they don't have it, fine, hitch up your dog sled and go to Home Depot. But start here first. The town is worth it and so are the people who run this little jewel of a company ou!”
“First of all, everyone behind you call the phone is gonna ring Murray. You're not the only customer who ever wrote that and the other 3 people that agrsecond of all every time. I walk in to Monahan lumber. And I have questions on products. Or questions on how I should go about certain things. They always have sound advice, so great, one beyond.And I've been to a lot of them.”
“Townline has been fantastic to me, the guys behind the counter know their products as well as everyone else's. They've always been able to match any color and even help me pick out colors for myself and my customers. They sell a quality and they do it well. I recommend anyone looking for paint or trying to match the decor in their room to their walls to head there ! 5 stars”
“I can't say enough good things about this hardware store. Unlike Lowe's or Home Depot, there's always knowledgeable staff available to answer any questions or to assist customers as needed. All of the staff are absolutely amazing and have always gone above and beyond, in my opinion. I've been there on countless occasions with a million questions or having absolutely no idea how to do something, yet somehow still always manage to leave with all the stock required and have been advised as to the best way to get the job completed. I won't go anywhere else.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Wonderful store! Great coupons, sales, quality, and selection. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the store is clean and comfortable. The option to order online and pick up in store is very convenient.”
“I happened to stop by this store by chance, being in the area and needed something. What I expected was a paint store with the usual help that one might expect, I.e., get some questions answered and that is it. What I pleasantly discovered was that Van and Angela, who are there most days at the paint counter, were the most helpful and eager staff I could have encountered, I might say in any kind of a retail environment. I was in the discovery phase of color selection and Van not only helped mix some colors, but went above and beyond and helped me with preparing sample color boards. I was not expecting them to be so accommodating and all the while with such pleasant attitude. I went back there several times, well out of the way for me, to narrow down my discovery and each time I received the same level of focused attention and courteous service. The color I ended up with was a very specific and delicate blend of three base colors and Van was superb in matching the sample to the larger quantity I needed. I also happened to engage with Heidi in their Wallpaper section, and she was equally helpful. This review is to let anyone know that if you want to just buy paint and move on, any place might do. But, if you want great service and friendly help, then this particular store is the place to stop by.”
“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!”
“Very helpful staff and usually has everything I need. Brendan is awesome-- knowledgeable, friendly, and takes his time with each customer. Store is clean and has convenient hours. And their paint is the best.”

“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 went to this store and I had an amazing experience. The employee Richard E. he was very knowledgeable and helpful while also being very clean about what I will need. If I could give him 10 stars I would more businesses should strive to hire employees like him”
“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!”
“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 am a painting contractor and I deal with many stores and I know Colorworks since I worked as a painter for another company and I'm always treated as a valuable customer. I basically work in the Metrowest/Northfolk areas rarely in the Northshore, but I still have mostly of my project orders coming/made from Colorworks. They are the best in matching colors. All the staff are very pleasant and knowledgeable about the product. I'll definetelly keep using their services!”
“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!”

“Excellent color selections and high quality paint, great customer service from knowledgeable staff, and highly accurate color-matching capabilities. It was a much better experience than going to a big-box store. Store manager Christian Aguilar is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.”
