Sherwin-Williams Reviews

Sherwin-Williams paint comes in many beautiful colors. The employees help you pick out the perfect paints for your project. Their outdoor paint lasts as long as what is indicated on the paint can.

Sherwin-Williams has productivity of the products that are second to none. The ease of use and the finish is excellent. Especially their pro classic oil satin or semigloss products are the best.

As is typical with all premium paints, one-coat coverage is very dependent on a variety of factors. I always figure on applying two coats. Sherwin Williams has consistently performed better.

I first used Sherwin Williams paint in 2000. I mainly use the Promar 200 in eggshell. This is the best paint for covering and durability. I find that it cleans or scrubs up extremely well.

Consumer assistance is awesome. Employees are polite and willing to answer questions to my satisfaction. Meaning the answers are based on science and facts. The employees are transparent.

I have remodeled many homes and have found Sherwin-Williams paints to be of high quality, good coverage and consistent with their products. The staff is very knowledgeable and love the discounts.

A nice variety of colors worked well in a 100+ year old condo apartment that I put up for sale. Paint went on smoothly and evenly, making the job of self-painting walls an easier job.

I have used all of the brands of paint listed in this survey, and have liked Sherwin Williams paints the best. I am currently using their SuperPaint and it is excellent.

When we remodeled our home years ago with Sherwin Williams Duration, we needed something that would withstand the harsh sun and the weather. 15 years later and the house still looks good as new.

Sherwin-Williams paint holds up year after year, I know of paints that don't. If you are going to go through all that work, do your research, ask a pro and They will recommend SWP.

I do love the Sherwin-Williams paint. I just wish they had a paint that would cover all the dings and covered places in the wall. I have tried several different types and none give me end result.

We have always use the Sherwin-Williams paint on projects. I have tried cheaper paints from Lowe's and Home Depot. The quality and longevity just isn't there with cheaper paints.

Not only do I appreciate the quality of Sherwin-Williams paint, the store employees are exceptional. Far superior to other stores such as Benjamin Moore. NO Comparison at all.

The quality is excellent. I am actually allergic to paint and this is one that does not bother me. I am able to paint without getting a migraine. It covers with one coat. B.

It's great paint. It stands up. Covers perfectly. A little more expensive than paints from the large retailers but goes on smooth and is worth the extra cash. I highly recommend.

Sherwin-Williams paint is the only paint I ever use! They gave a wide variety of colors to choose from and every color holds fast and true. The washables are easy to keep clean; very important!

Painted our entire apartment after 10 years of living. Sherwin Williams applied well in only one coat with no primer. This was a life saver. Loved the outcome.

The exterior latex goes on very smooth with good even coverage. The paint sprays, rolls, or brushes well. If spraying use an additive for spray ease. The paint has good even coverage with brush.

We’ve used several brands over many years. But Sherwin Williams has been the best for our family of four, and 3 dogs. One did thought drying off on the walls was a good idea. So easy to clean!

Paint is high quality and only one coat need for complete coverage. Their employees are knowledgeable, polite, and eager to help you and answer any questions they have.

This paint really covers well, so you will use less and pay less in the long run. It wipes off well and the colors seem to stay the same year after year on my walls.

We just painted the exterior of our house using SW paint. It covers very nicely and looks great. The only thing I didn’t like is their lack of variety in quart sizes.

Great paint. More initial cost but once factor in labor and multiple coats you must use for cheap paints, it ends up being cheaper to buy the more expensive SW paints.

I used this paint in my living rm. Color was true to the sample. Covered in 2 coats, went on smoothly. Clean up was easy. Paint dried with a deep rich appearance.

Sherwin-Williams paint has made a huge difference in our home. Colors are rich and the paint is both durable and easy to work with. We know why the pros choose it!

Just moved into my new home and painted every room, it was so helpful that the quality of this paint made it so that I just had to do one coat. I would recommend to anyone that ask.

Sherwin-Williams' brand has been excellent, use it to repaint the interior of my home. The wall look great for all the different colors used.

Overall, I would recommend Sherwin-Williams Paints. I have used them professionally for outdoor decks and saw a good result. We have also had our house painted and had good coverage.

The fact that you are able to bring different color swatches to your home and paint with colors on your walls help. I like that there are Sherwin-Williams stores.

We use exclusively Sherwin-Williams. For our new home, we chose the Cashmere and couldn't be happier with the coverage, velvety look and feel. Very easy to clean and has not faded.

This paint has excellent coverage. It wears so much better than other paints I have tried. Sea salt is the perfect color for my bedroom-so light and relaxing.

The best paint ever. All grades are of great quality. Their paints spread and cover very well. They offer an array of colors and can match whatever you bring in.

SW paint is by far the most robust coating I have ever used whether interior or exterior. Custom matching is no problem for them and the staff is top notch.

This is a very good brand. They have the best products for tough maintenance for interiors and exteriors. They are very innovative and a variety of colors.

I wanted to reach out to let people know how pleased I am with my deck stain. I had run out and needed a match for the remaining 1/3 of my deck. The brand I had used was discontinued. The clerk matched up the color of the stain perfectly. I am so pleased. I just needed to say something.

I always buy my paints from Sherwin-Williams because they got excellent customer service and know their business. They're always on point and professional.

Always like the finish quality of the SW products. Duration is a great exterior paint and holds up well in all weather conditions.

Emerald paint is fabulous for cabinets. Sherwin-Williams paint flows nicely, covers well, and doesn't dry too fast and clog bristles on a paintbrush.

Brown over white; good coverage one coat, perfect with two. Paint is thick, sits well on brush, goes on with little pooling/dripping, cleans up easily.

I've used their paint for interior walls and cabinets. The coverage is great and the colors are vibrant. Tune paint wears well and is easy to clean.

The paint is amazing! It's versatile, lasts forever, can be washed after applied. My only misgivings is sometimes the cost is almost prohibitive.

I think overall they have great quality and great options at an affordable price. This is where I go for paint supplies when I start any project.

The paint goes on smoothly and one coat covers as stated. The paint holds up under all weather conditions. We are well pleased with the results.

We use this company for all of our outdoor signage and it holds up very well. There are hundreds of colors and combinations to choose from.

I have used Sherwin Williams paints for over forty years, along with other brands and found them to be as good or better than advertised.

I am extremely disappointed with my Sherwin-Williams paint. My brand new construction was painted throughout with Sherwin Williams paint in Cadet Gray. Every touch on the walls shows up. There is even a handprint on the upper wall in the 2 story foyer that I can only assume was made by a contractor when he was installing our light fixture. It is impossible to wipe marks off the wall and if I try, I end up with wipe marks that won't go away.

Best paint for an amateur, covers the walls like no other paint in the market. Great price for the home. I will not use any other paint.

I love Sherwin Williams paint. They always nail my color dead on every time =). I really like the interior choices and the quality.

Paint is always right, no mix-ups or rude people in big box. Their store is the best, always friendly and go the extra mile to help you.

This is the brand the company recommended and would guarantee it longer than other brands. It seemed to go on smoothly and cover well.

My experience on purchase Sherwin Williams paint/stain was good. The sales clerk was able to match the paint on my deck perfectly.

Always used Olympic Stain for our cedar sided house. Our new painter preferred Sherwin-Williams Wood Scapes and said it would be just as good. After a few years we are literally peeling strips of the paint off of the cedar in droves. It looks like and it acts like paint. Don't let anyone tell you that this is a stain. It's a paint!

More money doesn't guarantee better quality. The cheapest "model" of SW paint is called Captivate. It's $40 a gallon, and was purchased on sale for 35% off. I covered gold with pink, and it required two coats of paint. The brush strokes were still visible and the paint itself felt very watery. This seems to be a common complaint among unhappy users of Sherwin Williams paints. For the same price I could've gotten a better, one coat paint from Valspar, so I'm not as upset as I would've been if I had paid the full $40 price tag. Considering SW paints go up to $100 a gallon, I consider myself lucky not to have been ripped off very much.

This paint is HORRIBLE. If you want to buy several gallons to cover then strip, scrape and repaint every year this is the paint for you. The first coat looks like colored water then it took 3 more coats. One year later it is peeling all over.

I went to Sherwin-Williams because of pro painter reviews. I purchased their top of the line Emerald Interior Paint, custom color. I purchased 3 gallons to paint 2 hallways, foyer, and 2 walls in my great room (figuring a gallon to paint a small bedroom). I started in the great room, painting one wall. After the first coat I noted a lot of areas that needed a second coat. By the time I finished I had used 1 gallon on one wall. Then I started a small hallway (approximately 11 feet long). The same thing, it needed a second coat. Now I'm almost 2 gallons down and still have another hallway, foyer, and a wall in the great room.

I went to Sherwin-Williams Williams expecting to get a great product. The paint is more expensive than most brands but the coverage was the worst I have ever seen. I have to put a couple of coats before I decided to go to Home Depot and try to match the color with another brand to be able to cover the paint. Horrible experience. They should be ashamed to sell such bad product for so much money.

First I use to be a fan of Sherwin-Williams paint till now. I hired a professional painter, but told him I wanted him to use Sherwin Williams paint. We got the paint and bought their best outdoor paint. It was called Super Paint, paint and primer in one. Regular cost $71.00. We are painting plastic outdoor railing that was already painted pink, we do Breast Cancer projects as a giveback explaining the color. We bought a slight deeper shade of pink to cover.

I put Duration paint on the exterior of my house that was covered with redwood siding. The boards had been previously painted with Sherwin-Williams super paint but it cracked and flaked so I had to replace it. I chose their Duration paint. I sanded, caulked, and primed the redwood siding prior to applying the Curation paint. There was absolutely no rot in the redwood siding prior to this application.

I just want to tell you what Outstanding service I received from the store. I stopped in on Saturday, February 8th, 2020 to just get my can of paint mixed up. I found out that this paint can I had was 12 years old and may or may not be any good. Chris from the Commercial Store in Richfield, MN. showed me what my paint looked like after mixing it up. First of all there was rust pieces on the top layer of the paint because I didn't properly seal it. It was thick and Chris thought maybe if we added a little bit of water and removed all the rust debris I would have enough. He went back with my can of paint and with a mesh cloth he captured all of the debris and I got myself over half a quart of paint. He went over to the sink and added some water and mixed it all up. He opened the can to show me and it looked like a brand new can of paint!!! I actually had tears in my eyes!! This guy-went above and beyond what he had to do for me.

Not reliable. Don't expect them to be open when promised. I called at lunch time to confirm their hours. They said they close at 7pm. I said I would be by after work. Stopped by at 5:45 after work and lights are out and the door is locked. Tried to call. No answer. Me and another customer hung out to dry. Today was also the last day of the 40% off sale. How convenient.

Purchased Snap Dry on the salesman's recommendation. As a homeowner and boat owner I have painted with many products. I attempted to paint our front door with this stuff. I had the door off and on saw horses. The first attempt was with the recommended foam roller. The paint was thick and sticky. I could not get it to roll out without leaving those edge of the roller tracks. That was bad enough. It dried in a horrible orange peel finish. I had to strip it off because as I wet sanded it it had poor adhesion. The second try with a 2 inch Purdy brush. Never finished because you can't keep a wet edge.

We are upscale painting contractors in Southern AZ. SW paint, like a lot of things these days has gone from great to **! Especially their upper grades like A100, Duration, emerald (interior and exterior). We no longer use these products. They have flashing (sheen discrepancies problems) and line out whether rolled or sprayed. This is never good on a $4 million dollar home!

We decided to get an in-home consultation before painting our house. We knew we wanted to add a bit of color but had no idea how or what colors to chose from. Nicole came over with her millions of colors and very much knowledge on everything! She was sweet, caring, and listened to what we thought before pulling out colors to choose from. We went from wanting one or maybe two colors for our walls, to getting 4 different colors! :) She was genius and worked perfectly with us!

I recently purchased a five gallon bucket of the HGTV Home paint. It clearly states it is one coat guaranteed. It was NOT one coat. I painted over a medium shade beige and a cream color with an off white color. Both had to have a second coat. At least the light shade should have only needed one coat. I am not happy that it did not live up to its claim. It was not a cheap paint either and I had to pay my painter extra to do the second coat. I would not buy this paint again.

My husband and I went to Sherwin-Williams in Lockport, IL to purchase a gallon of paint. My husband inquired about the 30% off sale. The employee told us the sale started the next day, but we could purchase the paint today and bring the receipt back for an adjustment. We decided to get the paint. When we returned to get the adjustment, the assistant manager informed us his employee told him about it, but it is not their policy to do that. He refused to give us the price difference. If we would have known about that, we would have just waited to make the purchase. I am very disappointed that they would not honor the sale to us due to their own employee's mistake.

Was in store on 6/4/19 to order a part for my company sprayer and I was dealing with THE STORE MANAGER. I told him what I wanted and he said I will have to order this part in and it may be in this coming Friday or Monday next week. Well it’s Monday and I call to see where my product was and the lady told me that the manager was very busy to talk to me about my order and said he did not know. I really wanted this product I asked for on Thursday for him to ORDER!!! Will never step foot in this place again. The manager was a **. He was on his phone the whole time I was in store getting my stuff that he really never ordered.

When I went in to the Dayton Mall store the other day, I asked for a sample to try a color. The salesclerk told me to be sure to CLEAN THE PAINT OFF (after drying) before applying the paint we choose! I’ve never heard this before!! I verified what he was saying “So you’re telling me I have to use a chemical on my freshly primed drywall to REMOVE the sample color, even if I use that same color?!” He said yes, that it’s not a good quality paint so it bubbles or crumbles off under the better paint later. I verified what he was saying with the other clerk to be sure he wasn’t New & didn’t know what he was talking about. But she confirmed it, although she seemed uncomfortable. He then proceeded to charge me $9 for a quart of what he just told me is BAD paint! That’s $36 per gallon for BAD PAINT! I can get EXCELLENT paint from another brand for less than that! Now I’m afraid to use their paint after I already paid for the sample!

I recently made a review and I was very upset. I was not getting any help from this company. After many attempts I did get my situation resolved by the District manager Monica **. She was very understanding and provided great customer service.

Provided our HOA paint requirements and supposedly provided me with the paint. Was nowhere near the paint that it should have been. Do not use Sherwin-Williams for any of your paint requirements. I took a picture in to the store and they did nothing about the paint they sold me. Poor customer service at its best!!!

Sherwin Williams stood by their product and fully resolved the issue with the exterior paint on my house. Thank you Sherwin Williams.

I owned a painting business and used Sherwin-Williams paints for many homes before switching to Benjamin Moore. Medium, muted shades would frequently take 3 or 4 coats to cover, sometimes doubling labour costs. Had many instances of interior paint bubbling, paint wiping off on water dampened clothes months after paint cured, and mis-tints. Sherwin would always suggest it was not their fault.

It is virtually impossible to apply this product reasonably as it dries far too fast. You cannot create an even coat with either a brush or roller. Within seconds you can no longer touch the area where paint was just applied. It is impossible to create a nice even coat. I am not a professional but have painted many houses. When discussing this with their representative I found him to be rather arrogant. I am abandoning this paint for my project and purchasing replacement product from a company other than Sherwin-Williams. I am very disappointed.

I went into my local Sherwin-Williams and asked to have a sample pot mixed. The sales girl told me they only have satin in samples. I told her satin wouldn't work because I wanted the sheen to be flat. She said they now have a matte finish that is flat, but it's washable. She talked me into buying a gallon of it. I got it home and tested it on my wall, only to find out the sheen of the matte is not at all flat, it's as reflective as satin! I'm so disappointed that I spent so much money on a gallon of paint that is not at all what I wanted.

To begin with, the clerk who assisted did not seem knowledgeable and was difficult to communicate with. We requested flat paint and she mixed satin. The Super Paint we bought is anything but. The spreadability is limited and the shrinkage is ridiculous. A gallon that was supposed to cover more than 300 sq ft covered about 250. We had to go back and buy more paint to finish and then give the whole thing a second coat due to the primer showing through. This would have been a $30 job at True Value and instead cost over $100. I'm going back to my old brand.

I have been painting for 30 years. I had 4 Ben Moore colors matched, 3 weren't even close! Now I have 2 houses with green hue trim and doors. These color formulas are pre-programmed into their store computer. Was told by store manager, Sherwin-Williams does not make the correct bases, that's why their computer matches are so far off!! Now I have to go through the state attorney general's office and Federal Trade Commission to force them to make good. Very deceptive sales practices. ➖ 5 stars. Sales rep implied I should lie to the customer!!

I bought 1 litre of paint for one wall. The colour that was mixed was not the colour on the paint chip I chose. I could not use it. I bought 4 litres of another colour to paint a small room. After 2 coats I could still see every lap mark. I have been painting my own home for over 50 years and even the cheapest cover coat paint I bought was better than the stuff I paid almost $90.00 for last week. This was the first time I have used Sherwin-Williams paint and it sure will be the last. I gave it 1 star because I could not leave the star box empty.

WOW your Duration paint is crap. How do you get away with selling it. The coverage is horrible. 3 coats over a green trim and it is still bleeding through. I told the Customer that this paint was crap but she listened to the false reviews. Now she's gonna spend twice as much on paint and labor cause I'm not doing 2 extra coats for free. Tomorrow morning I am buying a sample of MARQUEE and doing a section for her. I know it will cover. Hope they will take this crappy paint back so she can get something that will cover. Shame on you Sherwin-Williams.

Sherwin-Williams has far exceeded my expectations against time, wear and elements. It has been pleasant. It always goes on smooth and the colors are true to the samples. It does not clump as well. The cost can be exuberant for small projects though. Some finishes could be offered with the ability to be washed. Aside from that, I believe they are far ahead of other brands. Overall, I like the durability and choices of color. I also like their personal service and help choosing the right paint colors and finishes for small and large projects. Also its ability to get in and out quickly.

I like that Sherwin-Williams has very good coverage. I enjoyed working with it, it's not too thick and not too thin so it covers well. It has nice look and easy to apply. This paint DID everything I needed it to and it is holding up very well over time. Other than price being too high this paint is great.

I selected Sherwin-Williams for the price. I expected it to be able to hold out longer than any other paint brand. It has enough paint for me to be able to use for a while without buying more. It's as good as I expected it to be for my usage.

I was searching for information about paint colors that I had in mind and came across this brand. Sherwin-Williams appeared to have the colors that I wanted and they received good reviews. I purchased and used and it totally met my expectations. Sherwin-Williams offer great paint colors. The paint is well made and has a durable finish. The colors stay looking great for a long time.

I like how the customer service representatives at Sherwin-Williams are very knowledgeable about colors that match with each other. They are also very honest about colors that don't go well together and recommend me colors suiting my tastes. The customer service is great and I can tell that the store values their customers very much. I brought them a color sample I liked from a different store that they didn't have on the shelves, so the staff at Sherwin-Williams matched it for me in-store and made a sample for me.

I picked this brand due to reputation, quality, price point and color selection as well as due to family and friend suggestions. The quality, color options and customer service at their retail stores are great. The price point is in middle of the road and the quality is among some of the best brands of paint. This paint meets all of my expectations.

The paints at Sherwin-Williams are quick dry, beautiful color, transparent, affordable, durable, blended in good, great for cover-ups. They was able to copy from the color book I took into the store. It is transparent so it will easily change colors to match whatever furniture is placed in the room. I would like to improve the places that it is available such as being on the shelves in different stores and not just the Sherwin-Williams paint stores. But other than that, the brand worked really well.The curing time was really fast. Everyone was very satisfied with the outcome. Overall the experience was great. I plan to use the same brand in the other rooms of the house.

I selected the paint brand because we used the company at my old job so I was familiar. My overall experience was great and customer service was awesome. The company met my expectations definitely. The pricing is affordable to almost any household budget and the colors they offer is wide. You can also custom make your own color and they have experts there to help you along the way for any task you are trying to do. I needed a custom color and it was hard to make and I like how attentive the employees were and how there is always someone there that wants to help you with whatever you need done. I like the viscosity of the paint they make. I also enjoy the quality of the paint as well and I find it to be an excellent choice when it comes to trying to find a quality paint that is going to look good with whatever project you have to do.

The last paint I have bought was from Sherwin-Williams to paint my kitchen. I used the online tool to help me decide which color would go best with my decor. I took a picture of my kitchen and uploaded it to the website app and played around with a few different colors, found the best match for me. Went to the Sherwin-Williams store and bought the color, came home and painted. The app tool was spot on & proved to be very useful because I love my kitchen colors and will continue to for years to come! SHERWIN-WILLIAMS has far exceeded my expectations and I feel like they have perfected their craft. My experience was delightful and I never dreamed it would be as easy as it was to find the perfect color for my kitchen. I am a satisfied customer and I will continue to use them for all my painting needs as well as give them my recommendations to family and friends.

This brand is one I always purchase. They have a variety of different colors and different styles of paint for certain activities. For example industrial paint and alkyd gloss paint used for the household. This paint brand provides all the paint styles I need to do any work from projects to regularly painting something and it's offered at an affordable price I can tolerate.

Excellent coverage and return features, great selection and colors to choose from. Also really covers the best of any paint that I have used before and I really liked all the special features. The best thing that I liked the most is that it dried faster than the rest. Hence with this paint I met all my expectations. A wonderful overall experience with this product.

Sherwin-Williams is my go-to store for all my paint needs. It is a couple of blocks from my home and the paint is dependable, with great service. I'm more than satisfied with Sherwin Williams for so many things. Employees were informative and led me through all the steps required to complete my project. I left with my various paints, brushes, rollers, and tools, so I would be prepared for every step. I painted an accent wall in my home, using Sherwin-Williams textured paint system. It involved 4 different paint coatings, several specialized rollers, and was a bit pricey. The end product was better than expected.

First and foremost, the store is only a few miles from my home. For over twenty-five years, I have purchased the Sherwin-Williams brand and have been very pleased with the color, quality and durability of the paint. Having three children plus now grandchildren, the walls and color have held up well considering the abuse they have taken over the years. It is easy and great to go back for new paint projects and touch up paint and having it match perfectly. They can improve if they lower the price, however overall it is worth it and especially enjoy the longevity when you do the painting. The store is several miles away from my home, but other than this I will continue to purchase my product from them. Although I have tried other brands, my favorite is still Sherwin Williams.

I could buy this paint on a modest budget, and it was good quality, I am a first time painter and homeowner, the paint went on the walls very easily. I generally didn't know what I was doing but I had a great experience. It was extremely simple to pick out the right type of paint and use.

I have been using this brand paint for many years now because it was washable and fairly priced. I have tried others but not so happy with them. To me this is the best brand of paint by far. The paint itself was not too thick or thin and it went on very well. It covers in one coat and goes on very smoothly. There is nothing I think that should be improved on the brand of paint except maybe sell them in smaller containers.
