Paints: What to look for and where to go? - a podcast by Phillip Cooper

The most common home improvement project completed by you the homeowner is: Painting! In today's episode we discuss the best places to purchase paint, what to consider before buying the paint, and what areas you're updating. There's over 100+ painting manufacturers and the most common ones are featured at the big box stores of Home Depot, Menard's, and Lowe's. However, we strongly advise you visiting the local Sherwin-Williams branch and asking questions regarding paints! 

The biggest tip you can take away is how do you value your time? Do you usually stay home and watch a Netflix movie? If so you most likely can paint that bedroom in the same amount of time. Does your home have a 2.5 story vaulted ceiling? If so, it may be safer to hire a pro and cheaper due to time constraints. 

The quality of the paint does have a time and place in your home. Cheaper is not always better when considering the location of the hallway's, kitchens, or kid's room. Being aware of the room's you want to update is key to selecting the right type of paint. Consult with the local paint representative wherever you go. For instance bathrooms and kitchens have more moisture/emit gasses, so they'll be different types of paints recommended.
