I'm having my house painted and the contractor told me they really only use Sherwin Williams, however they are willing to work with any paint brand I want. Okay cool. I go to the local retailer to look at colors and holy hell the prices are almost 20 dollars more expensive than Behr paint!
I want my house to look nice, but knowing I would spend over $600 on paint makes me physically nauseous.
$35/gal for a decent quality Behr or $58-70/gal for Sherwin Williams. I did see one kind in there that was around the same price as the Behr I wanted, but everything else was higher.
Behr routinely is #1 in the only independent testing I know of [Consumer Reports]
Paint stores stay in business by giving large quantity discounts to Pro painters [based on volume]. Your painters are likely not paying $58-70 for SW
Here is my little anecdote. I painted my house with Behr. I bought one of the more expensive tiers of their paint. The paint took 3-4 coats. I thought it was a bit runny.
I told my coworker. She did the Sherwin Williams, painter came out and did 2 coats and that was that.
Of course, better paints go on better. That's the extent of my experience with exterior painting. I was left the impression that SW goes on a lot easier, fewer coats, and thus potentially saving money on labor.
And to prove my point, SW does go on thicker. It's value vs money, right? If you only paint your house every 15 years...what is $600. And the contractor goes with SW, highly likely its easier to work with. Saving labor.
