“Like another reviewer said, coming in here is an experience. David and Peter are just two awesome guys of the community. It’s something out of a movie. The shop is chaotic and disorganized, sure. But they will go up and out of their way to ensure you get what you need and will give you the time of day for even odd hyper specific requests. I was trying to build a guitar pedalboard but make it very customized with a pretty specific thing in mind… but I didn’t really have exact dimensions. David spent off and on about 1-2 hours going through the store and talking me through what I needed and how to do it. Pros and cons. I personally think I can be annoying with some of the trying to understand the how and why but they don’t make you feel that way.
TL;DR: being in there feels like an irl sitcom while also getting very practical help and things.”
“Between Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams, I choose Braulio! I came with my girlfriend fighting over the paint color and he calmed us down. He guided us in the most astute way, and saved our apartment!”
“Best selection of hardware in Astoria other than going to the LIC or Lex 59th Home Depot. Prices are reasonable, $1.60 out the door for a small box of fasteners! They take credit card for sub ten dollar purchases as well.
My two gripes are 1. that not everything is labeled with a price and 2. that the hours and days of the week the store is open are limited. Other than that, no notes. Shop at local small businesses!”
“Worker was helpful and knowledgeable prices are equivalent to Amazon and Home Depot
Went in for a Bike chain and left with the knowledge and tools to fix shower doors and a toilet that wouldn’t stop running”
“It is my favorite to go place in the whole NYC to buy paints. Whenever I come I always go straght to Sophiya, she is the most knowlegeable and professional specialist in thus entity. She is always helping me find the paint that best suits my needs be it a new design in my customer's apartment or some faux finish paint for restoration. I would definately recommend this place”
“In this store you can get many types of costumes colors and very good services , you can ask them to help you with brand of paint ,believe me they are people that you can trust in”
“Peter the store Manager is a true gentleman and Carlos the Assistant Manager always a great help there bayside paint is the place to buy all your needs in paint because they treat you like family. Thank you to the staff there as well you guys are awesome.”
“This paint store is very good. The service is always top notch no matter when I go. Sometimes it gets busy and you have to wait a little but the people working there are very knowledgeable about paint and brushes and will help you decide on whatever project you want to do in terms of paint and supplies. The quality of the paint is great. Never had any issues tbh. They also have parking outside. They're right off a major street but just have to be careful is all”
“Good service. You always have someone to talk to. They have what you purchase on the computer and for which room, but you should buy from them as other Benjamin Moore sellers do not always maintain this information for future use. One time the contractor did not let me know they were painting the following day which was a Sunday. I went to a different store because they close on Sundays. Work done recently, I now have to cut out to match the colors. No fun because I am getting but not perfectly great at plastering.This place is great. When I don't use them, I use Sherwin Williams on Bayside. I think am staying with them and gave 5 perfect stars. They deserve it! Thank you! I am a woman. I do most of my work. They help me. Unfortunately I need to paint the ceiling. Will get advice from them again tomorrow. Need more paint! McGee”

“For the last few days it's been HOT! But my window has window guards with these weird screws. I tried Home depot, Amazon, etc etc. no luck. I called Angelos and spoke with Jim, right of the gate he was knowledgeable and helpful. I was so hopeful when I got to the store. He gave me what I needed. The store had this home town feeling. Like y'all need to come here instead of those big corporate stores. You'll get help FAST. Well what he gave me worked and I successfully installed our AC unit. I highly recommend this store! Thanks so much Jim”
“Great place, everyone is very helpful, and goes out of their way to get you what you need! Even if there is a new owner, the same people still work there, and that’s what makes it special!!
Have been coming here for years, and will continue to do that. No other hardware store in the area comes close to the knowledge, experience, and expertise found here”

“I’ve been coming here for years while living in the neighborhood, and the folks who work here are awesome. They’re super helpful, explain everything without being condescending, and I always leave knowing that I’ve gotten both a good deal and had a great customer service experience. If you’re looking for a well-stocked, friendly, and well-priced neighborhood hardware store then this is the place!”
“I've been doing construction in my house and when it was time to paint, we chose Sherwin Williams paint. We went to the store on Bell Blvd in Bayside and purchased our paint. Phil the store associate that helped us was incrediblely knowledgeable. We asked many questions about paint types. He took the time to answer our questions. We purchased our paint and came home. We received a call from Phil who informed us that we left a can of paint behind. He actually brought the can of paint to our house. What an incredible person. He is truly an asset to this store and company. This gentleman has earned our loyalty. Thank you, Phil. Keep up the great work.”
“Always so helpful and knowledgeable. Very professional yet friendly staff. Excellent customer service and product selection. I grew up going here with mom since the late 60's. It's nice to be back in the neighborhood and have their expertise to rely on for all my home improvement projects.”
“Anwar knew exactly what to do for paint. I was completely lost and he helped me pick the right shade and finish to bring my designer’s vision to life. They are good people here who care more that you get what you need rather than to over sell you. I will continue to come here for paint! I had spent $1k at another place but they helped me save money and had the expertise to back it. Thank you!”
“Best local Hardware store.
Frank is one of the most honest people I have met👍 and that is not seen a lot anymore. Very kind, very helpful. This is Our 🇺🇸 American way. 🙏🙏”
“I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this paint store as a first-time customer with virtually no painting knowledge Keith immediately made me feel welcome and at ease.
He took the time to patiently explain everything I needed to know and helped me feel confident about painting.What really impressed me was how Keith went above and beyond - he personally carried my paint out to my car in boxes, and when I mentioned I’d be painting with a few friends, he thoughtfully included some extra shirts for them too.
Keith’s friendly demeanor, extensive knowledge, and willingness to go the extra mile turned what could have been an overwhelming shopping trip into a fantastic experience. He’s the kind of employee who makes customers want to return. If you need painting supplies and advice, ask for Keith - you won’t be disappointed!”
“What a great hardware store. Considering its size, These guys are well stocked and well staffed with pretty much anything you’ll need for quick repairs/maintenance. Always somebody to help you find what you need. Happy it’s close by.”
“I've been buying thousands of dollars worth of tools and materials per week from Althea, Joe, and the rest of the team at the pro center for years now as a shop manager for a scenic painting crew for TV & Film, and they are absolutely the best in the business. Fast, resposive, knowlegeable. We work at an absurd pace compared to the contracting or home improvement industries and they keep us supplied and on schedule.”
“We recently visited this Benjamin Moore store while painting our house. We had narrowed down our color choices to a few options, but my wife insisted we couldn’t decide until we saw them in person. We spotted this store while driving home and decided to stop in. I provided the exact color names and sheen, and the staff quickly mixed up samples for us. The service was fast, friendly, and professional. Highly recommend!”
“Whenever i have to paint i go this store on jamaica ave. They owner is very nice will give you a break if cash. But he has 2 guys that work there and are extremely very helpful. They help me decide the color i wanted to go with my rugs color. They are great assest to the store. They know what you need and they don't make buy extra stuff . Just amount you need. I like going there because i feel they are honest and there quality of paint is the best. The service is great. They know what they doing. Won't lie benjamin paint is expensive but good quality.
