Blue Jay Paint and Blinds

Blue Jay Paints is my go-to referral to my clients for excellent service, help and paint products. Bonus is the awesome music playlist running in the background! Ask Jay about Benjamin Moore's exclusive self-leveling cabinet paint that makes do-it-yourselfers paint like a pro.

I've been painting for 30 years in the Northwest suburbs and have never met a paint retailer w as much knowledge as Jay. He is indispensable for my business. I rely on him to keep me up to date on all the changes continually occurring w all the products (specifically chemistry and usage issues). Whenever I am confronted by a unique paint project scenario I always consult Jay as to the proper methodology and products to use to complete the job successfully. He has both saved me from making grave mistakes and enabled me to constantly produce excellent work for my discriminating customers who own beautiful and expensive homes. It took me a long time to find a guy w the expertise Jay has and I do not take it for granted. Sometimes I almost feel like he should be on the payroll for all the great advice he has given me and all the cautionary tales he has shared w me. It's taken me years to appreciate how difficult and fraught w problems painting homes can be. But thankfully I have Jay in my corner keeping me out of harm's way and helping me do what's right in all situations. So far so good. I'd probably quit painting if it wasn't for his trusted knowledge. There is way too much incorrect info on the Web and way too many supposed experts dispensing awful advice just to sell product. Jay tells me the truth and that is pure gold.

Jay Adams is a rare breed among retailers.....he actually cares about his clients! He combines both professionalism AND integrity...another rarity. He was absolutely terrific to work with as he was informative, responsive and very knowledgeable about his products and services. We ordered window blinds and drapes from him and he kept us informed about our orders on a regular basis. We are extremely happy with our blinds and drapes. The fit and finish were perfect. You won't find a better store in THE area! You won't find a better person to work with in ANY area! THANKS JAY!!!

I have been working with Jay on various projects for 20 years. He is one of the most knowledgeable paint Product expert I know. He has a great color Eye and can pretty much make any color there is. He is awesome, if you need to have something matched whether it’s from fabric or wood. I work in Illinois and in Florida and by far Jay is the best. If I am working on a project I will come back to town to have him make a special color for me. Great customer service.

Thoroughly enjoy working with Jay in choosing colors for our house. So knowledgeable on the undertones of different colors.....and Benjamin Moore is the only paint we've used for 20+ years! It's great to have people who care about their customers and really know their products! Just a great store!

Blue Jay Paint and Blinds has been a pleasure to work with. The owner Jay is very knowledgable and and the customer service is top notch. When we went in we had a lot of questions about the paints previous owners had used on our house and he helped us answer everything. Jay also educated us on the surfactant leaching that's happening in one of our bathrooms. After describing the issue he knew exactly what it was and what to do to fix it (this was also after several rounds of my Googling couldn't determine what was happening). He even helped us pick out a paint color for one our bedrooms when we were hesitant on how it would turn out. I highly recommend choosing Blue Jay Paint and Blinds and supporting this great local business!

Fantastic store, I’m a painting contractor so I’ve have been going here for years, there paint is always mixed thoroughly, I’ve found competitors screw up the mixing process. Keep it guys!!!

Purchased blinds for our bedroom and son’s bedroom. Phenomenal customer service. Very knowledgeable. We will be going back for our paint needs too! Highly recommend.

Love this place! Jay's eye for color is amazing. He can match anything and will give you tips for colors based on the direction your rooms face so that interfering blue light doesn't give you an undesired effect.

If you need to color match a stain to existing wood, Jay will make it happen! I went to another place and had them try twice; the color was not well matched. Jay did it exactly on the first try in just a day.

It Was very nice to meet the guy who works here he really know his products they have here in the store and will talk you through on how to get the best result in your house hold project. I was very happy to see that they stock a lot of brand names to choose from to please any budget.10 out of 10

I've done three rooms now with Jay over the years and each room still looks as good as new. Jay takes time with me and provides everything I need from extremely effective border remover to brushes and rollers.

Jay is incredibly generous with his knowledge and expertise in a way that is increasingly rare in the modern world. I won’t (and don’t) go anywhere else for my painting supply needs.

I needed to touch up some spots on a wall that had been painted quite a while ago. I was sure I was going to have to repaint the whole thing, but they were actually able to match the color based a pic and a tiny flake of paint---turned a full day project into about 20 minutes of work. Thanks!

Jay Knows his paint! Nice to count on his knowledge and know you'll get great customer service-Thanks!
