If you’re planning your next home or business improvement project and find yourself staring at endless aisles of paint in a big box store, it's time to rethink your shopping strategy. Located at 62 Bridge Street, Stevens Paint & Blinds has been the cornerstone of Corning, NY’s painting and supply scene since 1936—and there’s no end in sight for this local legend!
For the past 88 years, Stevens Paint & Blinds has stood tall as a family-owned business, passing the paintbrush from one proud set of owners to the next. Originally founded by the Stevens family, the store was later owned by the Holdens and, for the last six years, by Kelly and Jereme Wensel.
“It just made sense for our family,” says Kelly, the current co-owner. And honestly, why wouldn’t it? Her husband, Jereme, has been painting for over 25 years and used to get all of his supplies from Stevens. Now, they’re running the show, keeping Corning’s homes and businesses freshly painted with the same dedication and attention to detail that has kept the store thriving for nearly nine decades.
And here's the kicker: despite the tempting convenience of those corporate giants, Stevens Paint & Blinds consistently beats them on price in nearly every category—paint, primers, brushes, and beyond. Who says local shopping has to be more expensive? There’s a reason this gem has weathered the years (and many, many color trends!).
But the care doesn’t stop once you’ve walked out the door with your perfectly matched paint. Stevens is also the only store in the area participating in the New York State Paint Recycling Program. So, whether you’re finally cleaning out your garage or have leftover paint from your latest DIY project, you can drop it off at Stevens, knowing it’ll be recycled responsibly. Now *that’s* peace of mind with a splash of green.
The next time you need paint or supplies, head over to Stevens Paint & Blinds, where tradition, top-notch service, and unbeatable prices come together to make your projects shine.
