Sherwin-Williams Paint Store

If you need paint, get it from Sherwin-​Williams. This was my first time there as i had a gallon of leftover paint from my previous contractor with SW’s label on it. The girl there was very patient and helpful, and explained to me the price difference if i get it myself instead of through my contractor. Lucky for that I didn’t end up paying crazy prize for a gallon of paint. Definitely will recommend.

What’s with the attitude at this store? Deigning to answer simple questions about touch-​ups is probably part of your job, try doing it with a modicum of sincerity. It’s not like I’m asking you to do it for me. I’ll go elsewhere.

This was my first experience this week at SW. I am officially a fan! The paint is absolutely amazing (Emerald) and it has transformed my space beautifully. Most importantly rewarding was the great help I received during my 3 visits this week. Jessica and Charlie were super helpful and were very friendly and accommodating; beside the fact that there was a very rude, mouthy customer mumbling words under her lip. Some people just should not be allowed to shop-​if they are going to be demanding and disrespectful. Point said!
My experience with the staff and the product was exceptional. I live only a block away-​and I will never buy cheap hardware store paint again.
GREAT JOB Jessica and Charlie!

Charlie is so great! If he is working and available talk to him. He definitely makes what you are looking for easy to find and doesn’t haggle you or force you to buy more. We needed a couple colors of paint and he was helpful with picking out the right kind and made us aware of all the promotions currently going on.
Store is nothing fancy but it’s a paint store what do you expect.

I went to this store with a rather easy request and was treated like I was inconveniencing them. The high rise that I live in has an account with this particular store and I needed a gallon of the paint that they use in there apartments. The employee who was «helping» me was extremely rude and said he didn’t have time to look up the account and I would just have to find out exactly what color they use and come back. I can’t imagine it’s that difficult to look up an account and determine which paints have been purchased, I thought that was the point of having an account. Last time going to this location.

Ed is a jerk. I went to another SW store first and they were so helpful and actually painted a poster board for me (their idea, not mine) so that I could see the color of the paint. I asked Ed if they could do this too and he responded, «You must have gone to a really slow store, we wouldn’t have time for that.» I didn’t need the attitude, just asked because it was done before for me. BTW, it was just me and one other guy in the store at this time.
I also asked the female sales associate if there was another SW around, just so I would know my choices. Ed, stopped what he was doing and said, «Why, are you going to leave and go there?» No Ed, but I should have! I am not sure what was going on with Ed that day, maybe breathing in too much paint, but for some reason customer service was not taught to him or, he just didn’t care. I’m on my way to Home Depot, at least they have nice sales associates, even if my paint may not match perfectly.

I moved to the Lakeview East neighborhood a few months ago, and needed to transform my all-​white apartment into a serene home.
I chose to buy my paint at Sherwin Williams because of their color selection, affordability and quality of paint — and, above all, their customer service.
John, especially, has been incredibly helpful to me. I had a little color «disaster» when the light in my dining room turned a subtle paint color nearly neon in intensity. John came to the rescue, suggesting other colors that might work and helping me with samples.
I will continue to support the Sherwin Williams on Halsted, and I highly recommend that you check them out!

These guys were really friendly, very helpful, put together a whole paint package for a total novice, added in the discount, met a tight deadline — up and down this is a very well run store, and deserves a 6^th star.

The staff at the Sherwin-​Williams in Lakeview were very helpful. The lighting in the building is much different from most homes, so make sure you take your paint colors home. They have a coupon on their web-​site right now for $ 10 off a $ 50 purchase.

I think one of best things Sherwin-​Williams has going for it right now is its selection of colors for there No V.O.C. Currently Home Depot only has a handful of colors and none of them are really that great.
The service is pretty average… But they did hook us up with a discount. I don’t think I will be painting again for a while, but if I did I would check Home Depot first since its closer and if they didn’t have the color then I would head back to Sherwin-​Williams.

Our new place is all kinds of adorable. The living room is yellow, the dining room — a deep red, the bathroom — lime green and the kitchen is a rather nice French blue. However, the bedrooms were… how shall I put this…
They were boring. They were lacking in wall-​related pigment. They sucked.
So we trekked over to Sherwin-​Williams, armed with our friend’s discount, and bought all sorts of pretty colors from the exceedingly helpful guy who worked there and mixed our stuff for us and told us how to save a few bucks on rollers and tape and so on. And soon… when our lazy asses get around to it, our house will be EXTRA pretty. It’s going to kick ass.

I have a sick obsession with argyle, and I wanted to paint an argyle wall in our apartment. That meant I needed paint supplies, and lots of them. This Sherwin-​Williams was fairly small for a paint store, but they had absolutely everything I needed for the project — including multiple widths of painter’s tape and paint sold by the quart.
The staff here is incredibly helpful, and even helped me find a 3-​pack of the rollers I wanted so I’d save a few bucks over buying them individually. They’re also incredibly patient — a couple was in the store agonizing over color samples for the third night in a row, and the clerk was more than happy to hold up swatch after swatch for them.
Sherwin-​Williams isn’t really known for exact color-​matching in the way that Home Depot or other places are, but they’re great sports about it if you ask. Brandon C and I brought in a Glidden brochure from Home Depot (oops) and asked if they could do the team colors we needed. The guy behind the counter was a rockstar about finding colormatches for The Ohio State University’s signature scarlet and grey.
Once I get over this argyle phase and decide that I need a madras bathroom or a pinstripe dining room? I’ll be coming back here for my paint.
