Does anyone know why so many professional painters and interior decorators recommend (and use) Sherwin-Williams paint? I am baffled.
I would rather have a root canal than buy paint at Home Depot especially if you are buying over a hundred gallons a week. With over 50 years experience I find Behr paint ropey and more difficult to use. I can call my order into Sherwin Williams and its delivered to my Truck, Job or warehouse. With a commercial discount I pay the same for Duration as Marquee and I don't have to charge my customer for all the MAN HOURS standing in line waiting to get the paint mixed, then standing in line to pay for it. Then driving to the job. Len
