“This is the only place I know where you can buy real, old-school quality interior decorating tools. This is the secret notch-above-professional grade equipment which is better than most pro painters even know exist.
Anyone who has any interest or passion for interior decorating should come and just see what it's like just to open their minds. Yes, it's like that.”

“Excellently polite and knowledgeable staff willing to lend a hand or expertise when needed. We bought a fixer upper house in Blacklick and for some time I think I was at Creative Paints at least twice a week. They always took great care of us and I would highly recommend their store”
“About what you would expect. Note that the lighting in the paint swatch area is crazy-- you have to pick up every single swatch you're interested in, because it looks vastly different the moment you take it out from under their spotlights.”

“Excellent customer service! This shop reminds me of how paint and hardware stores felt when I was a kid — friendly, helpful, and genuinely interested in your project. The staff offered great suggestions and really took the time to help me find what would work best. I can’t remember the last time someone actually asked what I was painting, and it honestly took me by surprise in the best way.
They color-matched our trim perfectly to our funky wallpaper, and their cabinet paint recommendation left such a smooth, enamel-like finish that now I’m tempted to repaint all the trim in the house. It’s rare to find this kind of personal service anymore. Highly recommend!”
“I felt a very warm and friendly atmosphere when I entered the store. Derrick was very helpful with the pricing quote. The manager was friendly as well as rhe staff when I came back to pick up the paint. Great Customer Service which is lacking today.”
“Friendly service and knowledgeable staff. I was able to get the deck stain at a reasonable price. I have used PPG paint for years. Great quality and long lasting. Highly recommend this store and it's product.”

“I made several visits here to purchase various types of paint while prepping our house to sell. Each time, the staff was friendly and provided helpful recommendations - I painted the whole house using their product suggestions and am extremely happy with the result. Prices are very fair - cheaper than Lowe's/Home Depot for better quality product. I will never buy paint anywhere else!”
“Mr. Joesph has been helpful to me on multiple occasions. His employees are awesome and that is a clear example of his leadership. If you have the option of this store vs another, choose this one for great and friendly service!”
“I always go here when I need a mixed paint to repair furniture or do something that I don't have to repaint everything I wish they had a bigger selection of paint colors but I still like it there”
“Extremely friendly and helpful staff. They will explain all options and differences in the paint they sell including finishes, features and capabilities, and purpose. When I purchased my paint, I didn't have my chip with me so I purchased and returned with the chip and my paint a couple of weeks later. They got it out of my truck and returned it after mixing. A perfect match. I am very pleased with my purchases. This premium paint. In terms of coverage and long term value, it's worth it”
“In the past 4 years I have really gotten into being my own home handyman. During this early transformation I tried several paint stores and settled on Sherwin-Williams on Sawmill near Home Road, mostly because of the manager, Dan H. He is universally pleasant and has given me excellent service and advice.”
“Kiyra is the best! I tried going to Home Depot first. Three attempts later and they still failed to match the paint color on my accent wall. ? One trip to Sherwin-Williams, and it's looking so much better! Wish I would have went to Kiyra in the first place. I'll definitely be going back to see her for my next project. ☺️”
“"My" store in Pickerington is not only convenient but the store always looks brand new even though it's been open for several years. The employees are not only professional but personable and always willing to help. I especially look forward to John helping me. He's knowledgeable, respectful and always makes you feel welcome whether you're purchasing something or getting paint strips/books for ideas.”
“I went in just to use the bathroom, but I’m leaving this review because Rayn and Brian were incredibly kind. I’m diabetic, and when I have to go, I have to go. They didn’t ask any questions and even offered me something sweet when they realized my sugar level was low. They gave me many options—which is a problem for me because I’m indecisive (please don’t give me options next time, even if I ask!)—but their hot chocolate was really good. Thank you for being kind. The world needs more people like Rayn and Brian.”
“I have been working with this SW store for 3 years now and hope for many more. Everyone that i’ve spoken to here has gone above and beyond to provide me the best service possible. Thank you to everyone at SW Automotive for everything you do, it will not be forgotten.”
“Lucas is very knowledgeable and was very helpful answering all my questions and processing my order quickly. They had so many colors to choose from. I will visit this store again for my future painting needs.”
“The assistant was extremely professional, he assisted me and found the colors I needed. He took his time with me and was very accommodating! I’d recommend this store. One of the best Sherwin-Williams I have been to in Columbus.”
“The Canal Winchester branch of Shermin Williams has the best staff to help you with selection and tools for your project. I used their outdoor weather paints for my fence. it covers great I recommend this store and the paints.”
“I want to give a special shout-out to Dylan at Sherwin-Williams. Every time I walk into the store, he makes me feel like I’m at home. He is always welcoming, kind, and genuinely happy to help.
No question is ever too small or too silly for him. Even though he’s still fairly new, he is incredibly proactive and has already developed an impressive knowledge of paint products and the industry. If he doesn’t immediately know an answer, he goes out of his way to find it.
As a local painting contractor, I truly appreciate the level of customer service and professionalism he brings every time I visit. Employees like Dylan make a real difference and are a big reason why I continue to choose Sherwin-Williams. Keep up the outstanding work!”
“I've come to this store for years, and they have always been so helpful with paint knowledge & info. In addition extremely professional & courteous. The manager (Nate) is the one I've dealt with primary. 100% recommend!”
“I needed to do some touch up and had a very difficult time matching the paint our contractor used. After three attempts and many $$$ later, Ethan helped us find a solution. It wasn't easy and took him quite some time but he SAVED us so much time and additional $. We had screwed things up so much that if we didn't find a correct paint match we would have had to repaint 1500sqft that icludes a two story great room. I appreciate Ethan and his willingness to stick to it until we found a fix. Thank you!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Joy is a true gem!
If you’re heading to the Gahanna location, do yourself a favor and ask for Joy — she is truly out of this world! We had the absolute pleasure of working with her, and she went above and beyond to make our experience incredible.
Joy took an entire hour out of her day to help us match colors, offer thoughtful suggestions, and make sure we felt confident in every choice. Her attention to detail, patience, and genuine passion for what she does made all the difference.
She’s not just helpful — she’s exceptional. If you need anything, Joy is your girl. The name fits her perfectly because working with her was an absolute joy!”
