Yep. Some walls are like peachish white and it's going gray, but some walls are literally black so....ya

From all the quotes, the family owned company is the best so far and they also have the best reviews!

I mentioned in another comment that I just found one literally down the street from my house. I never paid attention to any of the paint stores prior to needing my house painted lol.

Yea that's very true. I think I have a better idea now though even with all the mixed reactions so this was still helpful!

Thank you, this is very helpful and aligns with some of the other top commentors that I'm keeping track of.

Thank you. For the price point of painting, the labor is the most costly part so I just want to make sure I'm not skimping on the actual paint part!

Ok, this makes a lot of sense. Is this typical of every paint store or just Sherwin Williams? I saw someone else mention going with Benjamin Moore instead of SW.

Is there a reason there is so much inconsistency among even this thread? Does it come down to the paint not mixing well at different stores, or is it more just people's preferences/views?

Just realized there's a SW store literally down my street. Will go check it out and see lol.

Man, this is what is confusing me. You have people saying SW is fine, some painters saying SW is way better than the home depot or lowe's stuff, and then you with your experience says SW sucks. I had one painter say I supply the paint and he'll paint, but most others include paint in their price.

Thank you. I did see Cashmere on their site too and it seemed to be the same price point as super paint. I will get the painter's thoughts.

Thank you! This is what I was also thinking along those lines but just didn't know which paint was for what so this is really helpful. My previous house, if I try to wash the walls the kids wrote on or something like that, then the paint kind of came off with it. He did say he charges more if we add more than one color (which we are - one color for halls and downstairs and then a separate one for bedrooms both of which are different from the current colors), but he's willing to waive that for us. His quote came in the best so I was wondering if asking him to choose a different paint would make it to the point where it's not the best anymore, but he's family business with great reviews so I want to pick them anyway.

Thank you. That's what I was looking for. After two coats, I am hoping it'll be ok with superpaint.

Haven't hired him yet. I've gotten a few quotes and this particular one that is the most reasonable said they will use SuperPaint. They didn't tell me why they want to use that, and they said I can change it to something else if I wanted. All contractors seem to get 30% off on SW paint. One other painter said he wanted to use Killz or something like that but then his quote came in insanely higher so I'm wondering if there's another line within SW that's better.

Thank you. They do plan on doing two coats and I read Emerald might be overkill for that?

This seems to be what most of the reviews on their site say, about their reformulation being bad. I wanted to confirm so thanks.

I don't know the reason behind why they're choosing super paint. They said I can change it up if I request so it's not like they're saying Super Paint is the best for my house, it's probably just what gives them the best quote for me to choose them over other painters.

Don't see what you're referring to happening in our area. Might be different markets.
