Paint the town!

Ready for a fresh splash of color? Your local Ace is the perfect place to shake things up. 

Color the Ace Hardware paint department fantastic! That is the exact word Marketing Manager Susan Stratton chose to describe it, and she should know. She’s been with Ace for over 20 years now. First in downtown Winter Garden, then Horizon West, and soon (in a few months) in downtown Windermere.

“When I was working in the stores, the paint department was always my favorite spot. You get to be more creative, helping people with their projects. I used to have people come back in and show me pictures of the paint projects we worked on together.

“We sell Benjamin Moore and Joanna Gaines paint at Ace. Benjamin Moore only sells their paint—a huge selection of 3,500 colors—through independent retailers. And the awesome thing for us and our customers, Benjamin Moore has a Distribution Center in Orlando. That means special orders and large quantities can be had quickly. We even deliver paint to our customers’ homes or businesses. 

“The folks at our paint counters know what they’re doing, too. Benjamin Moore hosts special training sessions where they show how things work, how to prep a wall or piece of furniture, when to use primer, all about roller techniques.”

Any words of wisdom for your customers out there?

“Yes. Three of them: Prep. Prep. Prep!”
