“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.”
“We drove from Manassas to this paint store because of our past experience.
They are extremely knowledgeable about paint, colors, finishes and application.
Ms. Cole prevented me from choosing the wrong finish for my powder room.
Everyone in the store was very helpful, positive, polite and friendly.
Best paint store in Northern Virginia!”
“Great experience and always consisted with their customer service. After having a frustrating experience with the store on Main Street, I came directly to this store. As soon as I walk in they greeted me and quickly assisted me to pick the stain colors I was looking for. I initially came for 1 stain color and ended up buying 2 since the clerk was very accommodating and explained what the difference between the finishes. I appreciate her willingness to assist me and customer service! This is definitely the store I recommend. Thank you!”
“Great selection and very friendly and helpful employees. Recent trip David went above and beyond to help maximize our coupons and find the right planting materials for us. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Much better than average selection of painting tools at this location which is a big plus. Big Box hardware stores stock a lot of paint tools but half of the products are total junk, not so at this Regal Paint Center. Manager Jimmy was very friendly and professional and clearly works hard to build and maintain his customer base!”
“I would like to commend Janice Brown and Katie Aguilar for their outstanding customer service. From choosing my paint textures, my paint colors and which ones work best inside or outside my home, both of these ladies know their products! I have been painting for 2 solid months, so needing some painting expertise with color blends really paid off at Benjamin Moore. I am getting compliments on the outside of my house from not only my neighbors but some people that are just walking down the street. They stop and say WOW what a difference paint makes! I tell them it’s not just paint, it’s Pineapple Paint Company with Benjamin Moore paint that makes the difference. I love your store.”
“Guys are great, very knowledgeable plus happy to help with needs. Completely different experience than Benjamin Moore store @ Barcroft Shopping Center(Don't go there, waste of time)”
“Definitely come get your paint at Annandale ask for Jorge he helped me with all my questions about what paint to use and about how any gallons I would need very knowledgeable about paint would buy here again”
“Without knowing anything about paint, I went inside to get a color match paint for my kitchen island build.Thomas and Dean have been so helpful, getting my the right sheen, color matching, and quantity of the paint. I was so thankful that they spent so much time trying to help me get the best result i can possibly get even though i was only getting a quart of paint.The customer service is superb and knowledge is top notch.Have a visit when you need paint, they will walk you through and help you for your best interest.”
“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.”
“Joe & Ron over the years have not only provided wonderful service but most of all have had the patience to resolve any color issues and breakdown of color pigments. Thanks a lot.”
“Jemmy was extremely helpful. She was patient and explained the different types of paint with a lot of enthusiasm. I will definitely be coming back for any future painting needs thanks to the great customer service.”

“I valled the commercial store after receiving information that the retail store was out of stock of the paint I wanted, which usually happens during a sale. The retail store was helpful tonhelp ke find the paint in stock (always get that help from Sherwin Williams) and commercial store responded quickly! The store also let me know they were closing early and asked if I needed it that day. They had the paint ready by the time I got there and I only lived a few miles away. Always great service!”
“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.”
“Shelby was very helpful and courteous. He knew the exact paint I need for my home. Thank you for a good experience Shelby. Because of you, I will be back to this store for all my painting 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.”
“We’ve had several paint projects both interior and exterior as part of home updates prior to selling and this store has been terrific. Taaj (Timothy) is so helpful and knowledgeable. He color matched several samples we brought in and nailed it on the finish, color, etc. Definitely a gem in the FFx city neighborhood.”
“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.”
“Sherwin Williams had a Labor Day sale through September 4th making their superior product affordable. The sales associated were cheerful welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend.”
“First time being at a paint store and I was supper anxious not knowing anything however I had an outstanding experience at Sherwin-Williams thanks to an incredibly helpful employee Emily who went above and beyond to show me which colors complaints each other and she took her time explaining everything I needed to know for my DIY project.”

“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!”
“Brandon store manager at this store are consistently reliable in paint matching my paint colors. This is my primary store for my business, it is less busy compared to contractors.”
“Couldn't be happier with the customer service and the quality of the paint/stain. I had a ton of questions about my small project and both the gentlemen were super helpful and knowledgeable.”
“I would give Tehyana and Jamie 5 stars any day. They were so helpful and understanding of our situation.
However, on our first visit to this store we were assisted by an employee who apparently was the manager. To say he wasn’t helpful would be an understatement.
I brought a small sample of the wall we were trying to touch up to see if he could color match it. He proceeded to ask me what kind of paint I wanted to which I replied what do you suggest in this type of scenario? We were hopeful that he would provide an adequate recommendation, seeing as how he is a subject matter expert at this. Unfortunately, all he said was “I dont know” and chose the type for us. Once our paint was ready, he didn’t even bother to show us that the color matched which I thought it was weird. We went to get some brushes and rollers and when we were ready to check out we stood at the register for a good 30 seconds before he even noticed us, since he was too busy on his phone. No receipt was provided, which I know I should have asked.
Back at our place, we realized that the paint we had bought was no where close to what we wanted. It actually was the wrong type and the color was way off. We decided to go back to the same store since it was the only one open and that is when Tehyana and Jamie came through. Not only were they helpful and attentive, but they were also able to provide the paint at no cost once we explained to them what had happened earlier. Again, the comparison between the two visits and how we were treated was out of this world.”
“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.”
“Jorge at Sherwin Williams in Springfield was incredibly helpful. We called about 15 minutes before the store closed, and he was able to prep the paint we needed ahead of time, so we were able to get in and out before they closed! Would recommend!”
