| - these guys are so smart. why? because whether i need paint or not, whether i ever will paint or not, i always look forward to what i will see in the window display of this place. why is that smart? its smart because how the hell do you distinguish yourself from other neighbourhood paint businesses, and from corporate giants like home depot? you make window displays that are filled with so much dedication and spirit that you can be sure the folks inside are just as devoted to serving you well.
indeed, as you enter paint depot, your wish comes true. the depot has all that you will need to beautify your space including a couple of environmentally safe paint companies. this is a family owned business with another location on o'connor avenue and with that intimacy comes dedicated knowledge and a personal touch.
this is exemplified in at least two ways. firstly, how many times have you gone to buy paint and not been happy with the colour you chose because it looks different dried on your wall versus the swatch or even the dollop thats dropped on the top of cans? its happened enough times for me that i appreciate the small canvases that theyve painted with their most popular colours so you can see what it will really look like. the texture of the canvases are extremely close the the finish youll find on a properly painted wall. whats more, they also offer small tubs about as big as a large soup takeout container that have popular colours in them you can try out on your wall so you dont have to waste money should it not be perfect.
secondly, to make the experience more perfect, in addition to the technology used to match colours to swatches or to samples youve brought in, the folks here finish the colour mixing by eye, like a painter would. this way you have someone ironing out the loop holes that you are left with when only using computer specs to mix.
it is these aspects as well as the friendliness of the staff that would make me come here for all my painting needs, where i can get knowledge and expertise from people who have worked at this for years versus the lukewarm help youll get at a home depot or the like.
