I love the big box stores just as much as the next person, if not more. However, there is some things I prefer to leave to the professionals. My interior paint is one of them. I want my paint prepared by someone properly trained and not someone from the “lumber department” filling in at the paint desk while this person is on a break. These are my 7 reasons to purchase paint from Sherwin Williams.

This tool alone has saved me time and effort by keeping my many projects organized. Also, does your Home Owners Association limit the paint selections you can use for the exterior of your home?

Personalized Attention

As an interior decorator, I have grown to expect great customer experience when I walk into my Sherwin Williams store. Typically, I purchase from two stores. One store is close to my residence and the other store is close to my design studio. Although many interior designers have their contractors pick up the paint for projects, I pick it up myself. I love to interact with the sales associates. They always remember my projects and always ask how the last one turned out. I even hear the same conversations with other homeowners and contractors.
