Kelly-Moore Paints

5 stars to try to help counter-​act the negative reviews here. I have gone twice in the last week to Kelly-​More and they’ve been extremely helpful and quick, providing the best quality paint I’ve ever had the pleasure of using.
My friends are professional painters and they’re doing the work for me, so I knew exactly what to buy, what quantities etc, so I can’t comment on whether the guys at Kelly Moore could have given «expert advice» on quantities, but honestly the store’s exterior says it all «The Painter’s Paint Store». If you’re a painter, you know how much you need and whether you need primer or not (short answer; yes if you’re buying cheap, smelly paint from a generic hardware store, or if your previous color was black).
Use Kelly-​Moore if you want the best paint and fast service from friendly, helpful employees.

Kelly-​Moore is a great place to buy your paints. We painted our entire house inside and out so of course we made many trips to the paint store. Dylan and Nate were a huge help to us throughout this process. They were able to give us honest opinions and their knowledge was extensive. We definitely used more than one of their suggestions to help us paint our house. I would highly recommend this store for all of your painting needs and projects.

I am remodeling my garage and have made countless trips to Home Depot and Lowes for supplies. When it came time for paint I knew I could get it at those places too, but I needed some guidance. Some expert advice and opinions so I went to KM.
When I walked in I explained that I was there because I needed some guidance from the experts. The two boys behind the counter just sort of stared back.
I went on with the description of my fairly simple project including dimensions. They both started to shoot out guesses for what I would need with regards to square footage. They kept coming up with incorrect guesses. I used a calculator on my phone to quickly find the right answer.
They then proceeded to begin mixing the color I asked for, but did not present any options to me. The more I asked questions the more they answered with questions.
Me: «What about primer? Do you recommend it?»
Them: «That all depends. Do you want to use primer?»
HUH?
So I stopped the interaction and explained that I could spend half this price to just pull paint off the shelf at Home Depot but I purposely chose KM because I needed some guidance and advice and I’m not getting it. «I think I will visit your competitor next door.» I said.
Their response: «That’s understandable»
:sigh: so I left there and went to Sherwin Williams to try again. See my review for their store. They nailed it!
THREE staff members not doing anything else but helping me fumbled through the simple task of selling me paint for my garage interior. I spent $ 400 next door with a little guidance and advice, and found some new partners for all my future products.

My family has been using Kelly-​Moore forever. If I used any other paint I would probably be disowned! The reason is that this is top-​quality, superior coverage paint. It lasts a long time and the extra money that you spend on it will actually save you money later on because of its great quality.
This store is a medium-​sized store, well staffed with plenty of parking. It’s best to get someone to help you right away because you have to be rung up at the paint counter anyway. This can take a while with all the codes they have to use so be patient. I prefer the knowledgeable older guys working here than the younger, less knowledgeable ones. They do help you out to your car and that is super fab if you have a 5 gallon bucket of paint that you bought.
Don’t expect to find all that fancy decorative stuff here that you might find at Home Depot. This is some straight-​basic-​serious-​paint-​stuff here!

As a licensed painting contractor the quality of paint I use on a customers home is of the greatest importance, it has to look good and last for years to come. I have been using Kelly Moore Paints for over 17 years for most of my customers painting projects, there Premium products are top notch and there Professional line is competitively priced which is helpful when trying to keep cost down yet not compromising performance. I have gone to many of Kelly Moore Paints stores both in Northern California and Central Texas and have always found the staff to be courteous and knowledgable about painting products, there color line to be fresh and clean, also great with color matches. By far my favorite and most recommend paint store is Kelly Moore Paints they have earned my repeat business year after year, It truly is The Painters Paint Store!
P. S. Make a Smart Phone/​Tablet App for us Professionals!

I went to get a gallon of paint with this company for my rental back in Nov/​Dec. 2012. Their employee who was a young man told me because I didn’t have an account, my price would be higher. I purchased paint from them years ago to paint my entire inside. I told him what Home Depot charged me on the one before and basically he told me to go to them then. Unbelievable. Walked out the door and won’t go back.
