Excellent store. Have gone to this store for a couple of years now and always top-notch service and helpful personnel. I drive past several paint stores to get here. It is that good.

My partner and I decided to paint a couple of rooms in our neely purchased home. When I came into the store, there were about three other customers being waited on already, or simply waiting for their paint to be formulated. But it didnt take long for the friendly guy behind the counter to ask me what I needed. I was stuck on the actual sheen type, that is the difference between pearl and eggshell finish.
He explained that the pearl would turn out to be sonewhat more shiney than eggshell. That was something that we did not want so I stuck with the eggshell type. We already had two colors in mibd and we ordered two gallons of each. It took him about seven minutes to mix the cokors and shake the paint to perfection. I thought that was pretty darn fast! Now comes the fun part where we get to make a big mess of the walls and ourselves!

Always a good experience the sales person on duty waited for me to get there. Guess I sounded desperate. There was a tiny bit of traffic on NY Ave. I got what I needed and a few more things

New to Wakefield and ready to remodel. I hate the experience I had at this shop. I cane for samples and advice (it's my first time painting ANYTHING) I got to the store about 20 mins after opening. Early bird get the shitty service apparently. He was nice. But not very informative. I'm an advocate for 420 but please smoke a sativa before you come to work where you have to share base information.
He asked me "how could I help" and I gave him the name of the 2 colors I needed sampled for. Another guy asked if I hd been helped so I said yes. The first guy the asks me "was he able to get the samples for you" I replied "no, I gave you the info so I assumed I was already being helped". I had to keep saying IM HERE FOR SAMPLES AND IVE NEVER PAINTED ANYTHING SO ANY ADVICE WOULD BE CERTAINLY HELPFUL" I said this over 8 times in the 20 mins I was in the shop. Im annoyed and I'm going to ACE by the target. My dog is welcome and I also need pots for my houseplants. Owners, feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I'll be more than pleased to discuss my displeasure.

They helped us order wallpaper samples, get the paper and chose an installer (R & M Decorating). R & M was excellent!

This place is the best! I should have left a review over a year ago when my dad and I did a significant indoor painting project. We made a lot of trips needing various items and a lot more paint than we assumed. We got a lot of advice and offered expertise and the rooms we painted still look amazing. I'm leaving the review because I'm about to do a second big project starting with my kids' rooms and multiple colors and I wouldn't even think of going anywhere else. I'm going to need some more advice and know I can trust them here.

Had a wonderful experience with this location. I had been to another Monarch Paint Center closer to my home after having a hard time matching paint to my new bathroom tile. The first paint store didn't offer much assistance but referred me to this location to speak with their designers. Well, I thought this was just a sales push to get me to hire one of their designers. Nonetheless, I called them and spoke with a designer.
When I explained that I really just needed help matching a few tiles, she offered to help me as long as I drove to their store. I got just the help that I need and the paint looks amazing and just what I had envisioned. Once I was ready for a sample, I headed to the counter where I was met with very pleasant and efficient staff that helped me get the sample I needed and get checked out. Will definitely shop here again and would more than recommend them for any of your painting needs. Thank you Monarch!
