Reineke Decorating Center

I needed some Ben Moore paint and noticed the sign so I stopped here. I did get assistance and the paint I needed but nothing more… No advice no help when asking questions really… they just left it all up to me. This is a far cry from my hometown Ben Moore Paint provider in Rochester, MN. I loved that place. The prices on this paint are pretty much standard so I see no reason to return here for paint if they aren’t going to give me lots of love. I will be searching for who else sells Ben Moore if I need more probably… I didn’t see anything here that would make it a «decorating center» I would think you would have a little more interaction with your lady customers if this is what you want in your name.

The sum of my experiences today prompted me to give a five star rating.
All the little things just added up and impressed me: for example, upon entering the store, I wasn’t hit with an overpowering paint/​varnish smell, then, I was greeted by one worker (who was busy helping another customer but said he would be with me shortly), and then a second time by a second worker who came out to help me. I generally knew what I wanted (2 gallons of paint) but I didn’t know the quality or finish I needed. This gentleman was so nice about discussing the differences in quality and price based on the room I was painting, then recommended a «nice finish» that was on sale that week. I went with it. He quickly got to work on my selected color, politely answered a few of my questions and then insisted on carrying the two gallons of paint (which he stowed in a cardboard box) to my car for me. So nice. Excellent customer service, plus I got a very reasonable price for the Benjamin Moore paint I chose. Great experience!

If your are serious about painting and or wood working a professional paint shop is a must!
Danielle B. explains the search for the perfect wood stain for our hardwood floors. The staff is extremely friendly and more than willing to offer finishing advice. I explained my prior wood finishing history (none) and they put me contact with a professional wood restoration specialist who thoroughly explained the entire process and provided numerous product recommendations. The staff was more than willing to help in my decision of finishing products and provided numerous free samples. They made sure I had all the products necessary to complete the job and even provided a 10% discount.
All of my future wood products will start and finish with Reineke.

This place is great. After searching for the perfect stain to use to refinish our original oak floors, and being disappointed with the selection at Home Depot and Lowes, we came here.
For our first wood refinishing project, the floors, we found the perfect red mahogany color here, as well as some top quality polyurethane. After having such great service and success, we came here again when it was time to stain our brand new (unfinished) kitchen cabinets. Again, Reineke delivered. The most recent project was a salvaged kitchen table, with a huge, solid oak top. We found the greatest dark walnut/​almost black stain here — this is after being disappointed again with the Depot and Lowes. Why we even bothered, we’re not sure. This place will now always be the go-​to place for wood stain, as well as paint.
The workers here are super knowledgeable and helpful, and are more than happy to stain a good chunk of wood for you to see the true color — very unlike Lowes, where they stained a tiny little area on our board, then wanted us to buy the whole gallon of stain (we left that sucker in a random aisle).
They also have all the Benjamin Moore colors and paint, for around $ 40-​$ 50/​gallon. Next paint job, I’m stopping here.
If you are undertaking a house or room remodel, definitely save some time, and come here if you’re in the market for paint or wood stain. I love the big chains (oops), but it’s also nice to support the local guys.
