They are local and they know stuff but....

Without these guys I'd be stuck going a million miles to Home Depot. Good quality paints and knowledgeable help when you can get it. If you join the 'club' it is slightly cheaper.
- Pros: large and varied inventory
- Cons: can be expensive
Gone downhill
by mattyweb at Citysearch
I've been coming here for about 10 years and it was definitely better when I first started coming here.
The selection is worse for one: at one point the store was the size of about 6 storefronts. I would say it's down to about 4 now.
But I would say the biggest problem is that 1/2 the store is locked away in cases of one kind or another--screws, tools, all the plumbing supplies--and the staff basically shuttles from case to case unlocking them with an exasperated look on their faces.
As a result as others have noted it's really hard to get someone's attention.
It's still the best place in the neighborhood to buy paint, but I try to get other stuff elsewhere.
- Pros: good vibe
- Cons: long waits for service
Pintchik

I've been shopping at Pintchik since 1995 and I'm now putting together my fourth apartment with their help. Though it usually takes a minute or two to find a salesperson to ask a question, once I do they spend as much time as I need to tell me whatever it is I need to know, from mounting shelves on dry wall to what kind of paint to get.
- Pros: Great advice
- Cons: It takes a minute or two to find someone to help
