Why Paint Advice Matters: What an Independent Paint Store Offers

Paint is a product where advice matters as much as the can. Here's what you get when you buy from an independent paint store.

People who actually paint

The person helping you has usually done the job: prepping surfaces, choosing primers, fixing problems. Ask why your last paint job peeled, or what to use over a stained ceiling, and you'll get a real answer rather than a guess.

The right product, not just a product

The best paint for a bathroom, a kitchen cabinet and a stucco exterior are three different choices. A knowledgeable store helps you pick the right primer, sheen and finish, and the right tools, so the job goes right the first time.

Precise colour matching

Bring in a swatch, a fabric or a piece of trim and we can match it, which helps when you're blending with existing walls or finishing a room you started last year.

In-home colour consults

Choosing colour on a wall in your own light is very different from choosing at a store. Our in-home colour consults bring that expertise to your space.

Specialty products and finishes

Beyond standard paint, we carry decorative plasters, stains and wood finishes, and specialty products that most general paint aisles don't stock.
