ive just been burned one too many times by associates that have no clue about home repair unless its a brand new build/home and even then their advice/experience is lacking. I was only able to find one associate at a lowes store that knew what she was doing (an older lady plumber at the rocky river/westgate store). Their valspar paint is crap.....got burned on that too. The coverage is shoddy and they couldnt match their own paint so my kitchen is 3 diff shades. And the paint is supposed to be washable/scrubbable and it is not. It takes forever to fully dry (im talking months of worrying about it getting knicked and peeling) Never again. from now on it's sherwin williams for paint and home depot for supplies.
