Kelly-Moore Paint Store

very friend counter people. helpful and acknowledge you when you’re in the store. thank you.
and…they take back unused/​partial empty/​empty cans — much appreciated.
note: «swiss coffee» (the landlords favorite color) does vary from maker to maker — probably best to replace from where you first bought — not sure if that’s true for all paints but it’s seems likely.

Service was excellent here. The associate laughed at all our stupid jokes and answered all of questions with a very friendly attitude. We got a light gray colored paint (which we’re using to paint over an existing pale yellow), and we asked him how many coats would we have to apply, and he said two, which sucks because I’m lazy.
A gallon of paint was $ 25 (normally $ 36 but they were having a sale). I got a gallon of paint from Home Depot for $ 33, and it was much thicker, and I only needed one coat to cover over the yellow, although the color this time was a darker blue.
The KM brand tape was actually a lot better than the Scotch brand I got at home depot. They also have a tray liner for $ 0.36. I’m never washing another tray again.
Tip: They don’t offer samples, so you’ll have to buy a quart, but a quart of paint is only $ 4. We didn’t realize this until he was already mixing our gallon. We could have just bough four quarts and saved $ 10.

Awesome service and support — ask for Jason. These guys worked patiently with us to help us pick the right color for like 30 minutes. Prices are a bit higher than Lowes/​HD but what you get for it is more knowledgeable service and a really sophisticated range of color choices. Will definitely come here again for my future paint needs!

I probably should let the painter picked the paint. The paint from Kelly has inconsistent color in different lighting conditions: natural light, florescent, incandescent. The color is especially gross with florescent light. The quality of the paint is doubtful.
In addition to the color, the smell of the paint is so strong even after 2 months! We seldom go to that particular room any more given the smell that chokes me.

I’ve been doing my own painting for almost 20 years. Small jobs. I defer outside painting to the professionals. Shhh — I’m afraid of heights.
This morning on my way into work I popped into Kelly-​Moore Paint’s on Harrison Street. What a cool location — indoor parking lot with 8 spaces. Best of all no day laborers like at the Oak Street location.
As I walked into the store, I must have look lost. Immediately, I was greeted by the store manager. Can I help you? Why not — he pointed me to the stain area, china bristle brushes, paint tinnier, & mildew additive. I also asked if Kelly-​Moore still offer a frequent discount card. He handed me a Kelly-​Moore preferred customer card for 10% off. Pretty cool — I was in & outta the store in 15mins. 5 stars — awesome customer service!
