Helm Paint and Supply

By far the best paint & decorating store in the entire New Orleans & surrounding areas. I hate to bash other companies, but I’ve done a lot of renovation & painting in my life and I can’t think of a more well rounded and knowledgeable company that I’ve dealt with than Helm Paint.
From Sherwin Williams to any big box stores, they all compare in comparison. I was suckered in by the promise of better prices from the other guys, only to find out that I was being price gouged the whole time.
For example: I was told by the manager at Sherwin Williams that if I got an account, I’d be given a contractors discount. But what I didn’t know is that their prices were so overly inflated to start that even if they gave me a 50% discount I was still over paying.
I went to Helm Paint and told them of my experience with the other guys and to my surprise, I got better service, knowledge, and way better prices without even needing an acct. I will never again shop for my paint at any other place.
Hats off to the crew at Helm Paint… They’re doing it right!

All the Helm’s Paint stores: Best paint and paint stores by far! They are always so knowledgeable and helpful. Amazing customer service. Too many little things to name. Just above and beyond. Benjamin Moore Paints go on beautifully with a richness of color and excellent coverage and are no more expensive than anything else.

They wrote «fag» on 4 of my paint cans. Not even kidding, and I have no idea why. There was no problem with my order, no argument, no reason why some employee might have been p! ssed off at me. My friend speculated it may have been because I was asking them to match a color from Lowes called «Lilac Mist,» which is a kind of very light gray. I guess that seemed gay to them. I consider this pretty much beyond belief, so I wrote to Benjamin Moore, of which this store is a franchise. No response. Obviously, I will never go back. Go ahead and shop there if you like gratuitous abuse.

Paint my house interior and exterior and Helm paint has the best prices and they were Very good at matching my paint colors. There is good reason most painting contractors go to here. the service is far better than Sherman Williams!

We have painted more surfaces than I care to think about, and I’ve bought paint just about every place in town. So I know what I’m talking about when I say this is the best place to get your paint. I almost went to a big box store to get paint to match existing fence boards. Luckily, we came to Helm; otherwise I wouldn’t have known that what I was trying to match was not actually paint, but an opaque stain. In other words, they know their stuff, and, they won’t sell you what you don’t need.
Their premium paints are more expensive, but they are absolutely the best on the market. If you don’t want to pay for premium, ask about the contractor grade. It’s still a superior paint, and the help you’ll get on your project particulars from these experts is priceless.
Don’t hesitate to buy brushes and other supplies here as well. Their pricing is competitive when you compare the same quality as the big boxes.

After countless trips to home depot, and thousands of dollars spent there on paint, I realized that paying a little extra for super high quality paint goes a LONG way and ends up being cheaper in the long run. stop buying paint from the big box stores and get it here now.

I want to claw my eyes out everytime I go there as I think they make the paint from scratch. And when I say from scratch, I dont mean just mixing it.
