I have always purchased paint in big box stores because it was what I've known to do. I have never really had a terrible experience there, but I didn't realize what I was missing until I came to McGovern and Sons. It can not be stated enough how friendly and knowledgeable their staff are. I thought I had an unhelpful list of things I wanted out of a paint color but the staff were able to listen to my wants and immediately pulled two perfect shades off the wall. I was struggling trying to decide on my own using apps and this and that and another thing.Also, I had my two year old with me while running errands. Sometimes it has to be done that way. At McGovern and Sons she wasn't strapped in a cart and bored, she wasn't seen as a nuisance, she was welcomed. The space is designed to welcome littles ones with a corner play space. She could play, be independent, see me the whole time, and I got to breathe for a minute and calmly look at colors. Having a space designed to welcome littles is priceless to busy parents and guardians.

We are so grateful for Mr. McGovern, an old-fashioned business owner with integrity, deep knowledge and a willingness to go the extra mile! He went above and beyond in helping us on a day with blizzard conditions (we had to finish the project because of work schedules) and we are so appreciative for guys like him who value customers above profit and are there for you, even on snowy days like the one on January 12th! Take care, Terry, we will always patronize your store!

I decided to visit McGovern & Sons after a paint trip to Menards. I really dislike buying paint from big box stores.I met Terry and he helped me find high-quality paints for a basement bathroom. He's very easy to work with and quite kind.Bottom line: we found our new paint store and were pleasantly surprised that prices are competitive while quality will door anything from Menards. Made my day!

Simply amazing. I've never had a poor experience here. Paint quality is superb, staff are friendly and helpful. I once even asked if an online discount code applied and it did not, but the staff gave me a discount anyways (and it was better than the one offered online). Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Excellent paint shop. My "go to" when I am working in the Madison area. They also got me set up with a product I promised to a client, but was not available in my area or Minneapolis. My paint business takes me on the road for projects, and I love to find these kind of stores to patronize.

I went in to get some paint (Hunter Green by Benjamin Moore). I expected that I would have to order it and come back later (a day or so), but they mixed it right then and there! It was a quick and easy process.

Benjamin Moore paint is the only paint I use and I purchase from McGovern & Sons because of being a small business and local. They answer all my questions and I’ve always had a good experience with every person I’ve talked to. I’d definitely recommend and no complaints and I’ve been purchasing from them for years.

Only place you should go for all your painting needs! Ask for Jack! Actually ask for anyone really - they are all the best! However, Jack pretty much taught me step by step how to paint the whole interior of my home. He took the time to walk me through exactly which tools/supplies I needed. I had a million questions, since this was my first time painting a wall! He gave me his expert advice and never once did he make me feel like I was wasting his time.Kind, friendly, patient, and extremely professional. They are so kind and considerate - they even help bring the heavy paint gallons to your car. I am beyond happy with the level of service McGovern and Sons provides.Not only is their service exceptional - the quality of their paint is phenomenal. Original Benjamin Moore paint - not that other watered down stuff. Glides on your wall like velvet! My walls look so dreamy!I will be a forever customer and will let anyone and everyone know to head straight to McGovern and Sons for all their painting needs!

Friendly, helpful, and knowledgable - all things that are missing from other non-locally owned stores. Will return for future projects.
