Our climate is mild, and moist in the winter.

Our painter says all the paints are good, and recommends Miller, a local
producer, with whom I am sure he has a good discount.

His bid includes only a small portion of the total for paint, and I
think it would be a good investment to spend more for the best paint.

Benjamin Moore sez there is a reason why they are priced higher and have
been in business for so long, and we like their interior paint.

Consumer Report likes California, which I know nothing about, and I
often find their reviews skewed in a direction which I find picky.

Which companies would you recommend looking into?

I know every one is biased, but I would appreciate your ideas.

Thanks very much.

I'd check w/ the painter's references and see how his recommendation has
worked in the area.

Many of the local manufacturers have excellent products; I'd not assume
BM or any of the others are necessarily any better.

For example, there was a local where I was in VA who made most excellent
paints including some that were branded for other recognized names.

If he cant show you a 15- 20 yr old job that looks decent buy Ben
Moore or Sherwin williams.

If your painter is a professional, then why not trust his professional
opinion? That's what I would do.
