Schatz Steinway

I’ve stocked almost every painting project I’ve ever done with these guys and they never fail. Everyone who works there is super friendly, super professional, and They KNOW their paint! Have always felt like I could trust what they had to say. Highly recommend them! They are also the closest Benjamin Moore dealer, and always give me a good price.

Fast, friendly helpful and knowledgable. This place is a paint gem. Highly recommended.

Awesome customer service. I bought some paint among other items needed for my apartment. Closes too early on weekdays for my taste. But overall, a great neighborhood gem.

If you are looking for an old school hardware store that has just about anything you would need for a home project this is the place. The people are very knowledgeable and friendly. The prices are better than expected. They even brought the goods that I purchased to the car. Love this place.

Went here with only online knowledge on the supplies I would need to refinish a kitchen table. My guy was very nice and very helpful. Did all the work myself and it turned out great. Had everything I needed! Ill continue to go here for my home improvement needs.

Went in for help buying paint for a living room job — they actually sold me on cheaper paint than what I had originally picked, and upon asking specifics about the project, stated i only needed one gallon instead of the two I had originally requested.
Try getting that type of service at Home Depot! Paint was high-​quality, exactly matched the sample, and one gallon was good for two coats. Skip the other places in the neighborhood for all your painting needs, go to Schatz.

After visiting Schatz, I’m forced to doubt Anicka’s authenticity — I begrudgingly bought paint here after the employee «serving» me avoided giving me a price, walked away mumbling to himself, and mixed 2 gallons costing over 70 dollars (for the lower-​end stuff!)! I was told that I had to pay, since he’d used up the base on my colors. You’re better off dealing with the lousy service at Home Depot and paying a reasonable price.

A pretty complete store for all things paint related. I bought some trim here and they sold me some rejected paint for $ 10. I left pretty happy.

I love this hardware store! Absolutely top notch in Astoria. I’ve lived in my apartment down the street for going on three years, and they’ve seen me through every home improvement project yet. They have an amazing paint selection, everything you could need in terms of tools and hardware, and they’re always ready to help you the second you walk in.
I think the best thing about these guys is how upfront with you they are about price. They never are trying just to make a sale — they want to save you money, but also give you what you need to complete your project. Recently, my roommates and I were redoing our living room, and when we went to purchase our paint (which they’d been helping us pick for weeks!), every item we brought to them, they asked why we needed it, so we didn’t purchase anything unnecessary. They even reminded us to get drop cloths when we almost walked out without them!
These guys are so helpful, and will help you get any project done. Go there!
