Sherwin-Williams Paint Store

If I could give this Sherwin WIlliams store six stars, I happily would. The employees were incredibly helpful to us with a large painting project, great advice on tools and paint selection. I found the experience much more informative than making a trip to the Hopeless Depos. I highly advise going here, great quality materials and really helpful service. Afterards, you can go around the corner and get yourself a taquito from the eternally rotating bars of damnation in 7 – 11.

I’m not a professional painter but whenever I have a painting project I go to Sherwin-​Williams. The people here are extremely knowledgeable and the paint is very high quality. My recent project was re-​painting my kitchen cabinets. It’s a pretty challenging project but it was made easy after the guys at Sherwin-​Williams walked me through the entire project before I started.
For those who don’t paint a lot, Sherwin-​Williams tends to have more expensive paint than a place like Home Depot but it’s a much better paint that will ultimately save you from doing extra work. Furthermore, the paint will last longer.

I’m a contractor and I use Sherwin-​Williams paint exclusively, but the Logan Square location has terrible service.
The people that work there are surly, give a lot of attitude, and it takes them forever to mix up a gallon of paint. I’ve never seen people move slower.
I’m in several times a month (because this location is closest to my shop), and about 25% of the time they mix up wrong paint. They don’t listen well, and they don’t write anything down, so they often transpose numbers on color codes. Or they’ll mix up Duration interior, when I’ve ordered exterior, etc.
If you go in to place the order, it takes forever. If you try to phone in the order, they’ve put me on hold for a ½ hour, and when I wouldn’t give up, hung up on me.
I’ve sent customers in to obtain color chips and color cards, and they’ve come back and asked me why I use Sherwin-​Williams, the people that work there are so unhelpful. I’m now advising my customers to try to go to a Sherwin-​Williams store other than Logan Square when they need samples.
I’m now paying over $ 60 per gallon for Duration, and at that price I expect better service with my paint.

The time has come to paint the ugliest orange walls in our second bedroom to something a little more baby/​kid friendly. A couple of weeks ago, I visited Sherwin Williams to scope out paint chips for this room. The sales guy asked a few questions about my needs for the room and let me peruse the paint samples.
Yesterday, my husband and I came back with room dimensions and our ideas for the room. We got some great advice on what paints we should use for the room like satin finish if anyone is going to be touching the walls aka baby and grandparents alike. In a short period of time, we had two paint colors and a toned primer to wipe away the awful orange walls. We chose a low VOC paint with the whole being pregnant and having paint smells in our condo. The one guy handling all of the late in the day requests is awesome. He listened to our needs while working with other customers.
We’ll probably return for more paint and other supplies when it gets underway. It’s nice to know that there’s a great paint store in the neighborhood.

I went there to pick colors for my Living Room, Kitchen and Bathroom. My painter uses Sherwin Williams paints.
The guys were very nice. Super Paint is the beast paint we’ve ever used.

Wow, just like the commercials. These guys know everything about paint. Skip Home Depot and come here. Crap I wish I walked in here years ago.

I am glad we went with Sherwin Williams as opposed to Behr at Home Depot. The quality of the paint seems better and the service you get when going into a real paint store in also higher quality. They have a variety of finishes and product lines and give you real advice on what is going to work. The sales people are design oriented more so than sales-​oriented which is great.

If you need paint, skip Home Depot and go to Sherwin Williams. There is a table that you can sit at to take your time looking through their huge color collection, as well as a ton of pamphlets on various techniques and color schemes.
The sales people do not pressure you and usually let you look for a little while on your own before coming over to ask if you need help. I like this because picking out paint is a very personal experience, so it’s nice to not be bombarded with sales people right away. That being said, the men who work here are very knowledgeable and innovative. I usually run my color choices by them before buying samples to see what they think and usually they are spot on and a lot of times point out something that I hadn’t thought of. The sample buckets of paint are cheap too — only $ 4.99. At Home Depot they charge $ 5.99 and the samples come in much smaller buckets.
I’m heading over there in a minute to show Roy (ask for him, he’s great!) pictures of my place so he can brainstorm with me color schemes for the remaining rooms that I need to paint. You don’t get this kind of service at Home Depot. Paint is what they do, so if you want the best, I would definitely go here.
