“My experience with Ace Hardware is solely from where I grew up in CT. This is a lot different, in a better way (I guess that’s a subjective thought). I was “used to” an unorganized place full of actual hardware from a-z as well as a lot of indoor/outdoor paint and a paint mixer. In short, I was used to Ace hardware being targeted at real handymen in the midst of a project and in need or something very specific.This store is like “a little of everything” for every part of your apartment. It’s walkable from a lot of apartments around here, and it sells all sorts of things you might need in your apartment (you don’t need to be a handyman or hardcore DIY-er to find a bunch of useful things). A huge variety of things you might need in a pinch. Granted, most are really overpriced, but I wouldn’t complain because it’s all about convenience and location. If you complain about the prices, go ahead and drive into Virginia, lose an hour of your day and walk up and down a huge store. Overall, the convenience and variety in this store is worth slightly higher prices. Nice people, as well.”
“Had an amazing experience here. The employees here were very knowledgeable and helped me with my painting project. Amazing customer service, I will certainly be back!”
“Walter and the staff are great. Large store with lots of paint supplies. The staff are knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I reccond this Sherwin Williams location if you need paint.”
“We have used Color Wheel for decorating services for many years. Their service has always been outstanding. Recently we had a problem with wallpaper we ordered through them. Color Wheel worked with the distributor and got a quick and fully satisfactory solution to the problem. They are an indispensable local small business. We will continue to use them for our decorating needs.”
“I rarely write reviews for restaurants, and have never written one for a hardware store, but the folks at Glover Park Ace Hardware have forced my hand. They carry literally anything you could hope to buy at a hardware store (and many things you wouldn't expect) and virtually every employee I've interacted with there over the years has been kind, friendly, and helpful. They have set the standard for hardware stores in the area!”
“This shop’s services is always great. Today I am so impressed by Brendon W.. He is very patient and kind to assist me finding an order history of a unique painting color I ordered two years ago.”
“Strange review here, but I am a 20 year old female and my headlights both went out at the same time traveling at night. I live about 3 hours away and I stopped here for help. I arrived 25 minutes before close and every worker came out to help me with my car. They spent about 45 minutes checking my fuse boxes and headlights as well as charging my phone. The workers here are more than kind and extremely willing to help a stranger in need. I recommend Glen Echo Hardware store for all of your needs.”
“Phenomenal customer service. Steven listened to what I was asking for and guided me to the right options. In and out in no time. I will absolutely come back to this store in the future.”
“Helped by Gilberto. Very professional, super helpful, and overall provided excellent customer service. I will come back to this location for any paint or supply needs.”

“Ordered online and picked up in store in just a few hours. Their paints are great, went on smooth, dried within an hour, and the paint fumes were light, dissipating within the afternoon.”
“Michael at this Georgetown store is THE BEST!! He's patient, knows his stuff, and will give it to you straight. This location gets busy, but Michael can juggle everyone at the same time and meet all of their needs. Seriously, such a skill.”
“We went here on a quick Sunday errand when our normal paint place was closed. They were great and the store has great hours considering most places with Benjamin Moore paint are closed Sundays.”
“I had an outstanding experience at Sherwin-Williams thanks to an incredibly helpful employee Noemi who went above and beyond to assist me with choosing the right paint and primer for my project.
She took the time to listen to my needs, asked thoughtful questions about the surface and environment, and provided expert recommendations on the best products for my specific situation. Not only did she explain the benefits of different primers and paints, but she also helped me pick out the perfect color.
Her patience, knowledge, and personalized approach made the entire process so much easier, and I left feeling confident that I had made the right choices. It’s clear that Sherwin-Williams hires staff who genuinely care about their customers’ success.”
“Great place to have colors mixed, they know all types of paint and can tint anything. I especially come here for venetian plaster since they're the only place in NOVA who carries it.”
“We had a great experience this afternoon at SW in Falls Church. Rayner was super helpful. He helped us choose our paints and supplies, and also gave us several discounts. Saved us 35%! We're hoping his bosses see this - He's an effective salesman. We'll be recommending the Falls Church SW and Rayner, specifically, to any friends or family looking to paint this Spring.”
“I’d like to send a special thanks to Ronald for his advice, he was nice and INCREDIBLY helpful with determining which specific paint and sheen I should apply in my bathroom and foyer. At first I was a tad bit skeptical but after my painters were done I was extremely pleased!!!”
“We purchased everything we needed at the store for an accent wall painting project. The sales associate was knowledgeable and it was super quick to get our gallon of paint mixed up!”
“Love store and the people who work here! Alexes is amazing, so helpful with recommendations and taking care of everyone so nicely. This is my paint store of choice!”
“When painting your house, it's best to go with the professionals. The folks at Sherwin Williams are. Quality comes with a higher price tag to a degree, but so does the advice and guidance you'll find here. Am pleased to have bought my paints and supplies here, and it was my hardcore detailed contractor who got me here. He only works with top tier materials. I agree with his theory "anything house related get great quality." He's been in the business for years, and his reputation is sterling. I found the employees here very approachable. They heard out what I was going for, and let's just say they found the best green color I could even dream of. The bedroom and a storage room downstairs, look far better thanks to them. I'm very pleased to give them the highest rating here. All of the employees are exceptional, and their ideas along with suggestions, have helped me add value to the house.”
“Great customer service! My two recent experiences have been excellent--very helpful and friendly sales people. The person at the store today waited for me, even though I was a couple minutes after closing, to pick up my paint! Thank you so much!”

“I haven't had the opportunity to need paint but when I do I recommend to go here. The gentleman working yesterday 5.23 morning left the store to open the usps door open as I was carrying several boxes. If that's how they treat a stranger not even entering their store I can't imagine how excellent their customer service is. Thank you again sir!”
“Store staff is very helpful and provide appropriate advice on product. I am Architect/Engineer and my wife is an interior designer. We appreciate the team support. Thanks.”
