Sherwin Williams - Barrie, Ontario L4M 0G9 (North Barrie Crossing Shopping Centre)

Fabulous Paint, Fabulous Staff | by Heather Brightman on Feb 13, 2019

I've always used a variety of paints, leaning slightly toward Benjamin Moore. I will admit to finding little to no difference between brand names and service from one place to another. Then I ran into a snag with a recent reno, and needed knowledgeable advice, and realized, there wasn't any. Nobody at my usual places was any more knowledgeable than I was. That's when I tried out this Sherwin Williams location. All of the staff are friendly, helpful, and go out of their way to assist. The manager is spectacular. As an interior designer, she was able to overcome my problems with lighting, undertones, and overall balance, and pull everything together for me in one perfectly suited colour. If you're having any doubts about your choices, I cannot overstate the value of paying her a visit. Everyone at this location goes out of their way for customers. It's better service than usual. I didn't buy the highest rated paint because the manager recommended something else for my project, but the type I brought home was very impressive. It covered better than Benjamin Moore, was smoother, and it seemed to stretch out. What should have taken a full two gallons, didn't, and I was left with a surprising amount of paint left over. I've never used a better paint. I won't use anything else again. Try Sherwin Williams paint, because it's so much better, and try this location because the staff here are so incredibly helpful.
