Thanks!

There are few differences between SW, BM, and Behr. Consumer Reports gives the nod to Behr, primarily due to it having a small price advantage.
If you're doing the work yourself, buy from the store most convenient to you, as, invariably, you will be making several trips during the course of the project.
The other major brand, available locally, in addition to SW, BM, and Behr, is Florida Paint. It is the source for the white paint, known as" Village White", which was, originally, applied on the ceilings of most, if not all, our homes.

If you're using a contractor, you should only worry about choosing the contractor and the color. Let the contractor choose the brand and the paint store. He will have a relationship with a particular store and will receive the best service. If something goes wrong, he will have the purchasing power to get the problem resolved with the store and the manufacturer. The contractor will buy thousands of gallons of paint in a year while you will buy twenty five every eight or nine years.
