Best Practices When Ordering Paint Without Visiting Our Stores

 

We are all currently going through difficult and uncertain times, and our "Stay at Home" orders are perhaps affording us time to work on some do-it-yourself home projects. At Abbott Paint & Carpet we are here to help you get you up and running and complete these projects. We also understand the apprehension to select a color without coming into the store, we are here to assist your online shopping experience.
 

Here are some recommendations

 

Benjamin Moore does a wonderful job on their site of helping to narrow down choices based on a specific color pallet. You can visit their site here: https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color
 

When you have found a color (or two) that you like, but may be uncertain of how it will look in your house, we can offer you a few suggestions:
 

  1. Give us a call (or send us a note via our contact us page), let us know your colors and we'll mail you some swatches that you can hang in your room – this would be a great option if you're not in a huge hurry to get paint on the wall. Once you've received your samples, and select your color, see below for ordering or next steps for ordering samples.
  2. Give us a call (or send us a note via our contact us page), let us know your colors, and we'll mix up some sample quarts for you. Pro tip: Instead of painting these samples directly on to the wall, paint them on sample boards (you can purchase those in store, we can deliver them, or include them in your pickup order). Hang and display the boards throughout your project rooms. Doing so you will get a true feel for how the room will eventually look. Hang the boards next to a window, in a dark corner and on a wall across from a window. Once you're happy with the color selection, toss the boards aside, contact us with your desired paint, the size of the room, and how many doors and windows are in the space, we'll mix it up, deliver it to you and you can get to work! **During the month of April, we're running a buy one, get one promotion. Mention this blog post, and we'll make sure you get 2 for the price of 1!
  3. If you're certain of the color selection, call us, or write to us online and we'll be able to provide you with a recommendation on the number of gallons needed + the right paint for your space. Once the order is placed, we'll mix the paint and deliver it right to your door or stoop!
     

As always, please feel free to reach out with anything! We're happy to troubleshoot any questions or concerns you may have regarding your project. We love to see pictures of your space, so send those along as well!
 

We look forward to working with you and your next home project!
