It is my opinion that there are very few people who would argue the "fact" that Sherwin-Williams'…read moreline of paints are top notch. In September 2017, I had 22 new windows installed in my home. Since my home is over 50 years old, the interior window sills and exterior window frames did not get replaced. Therefore, in anticipation of my new windows, I decided to sand, scrape and prime my exterior window frames prior to the installation of the new windows. That way, once the installation was complete, all I had to do was apply a topcoat (or 2) of paint. But I digress. My 1st trip to Sherwin-Williams was only to buy a new window scraper, sanding "discs" for my palm sander, bleached tack cloths and an oil based exterior primer. There's really not much to talk bout regarding the scraper or the sandpaper, but I cannot rave on how effective Sherwin-Williams bleached tack cloths were in removing dust, even after I thoroughly used a dust brush to clean the freshly sanded window frames. They were a cheap investment that, in my opinion, truly prepared the frames for priming. I started out using their Exterior Oil-Based Wood Primer ($54.99/Gal), but even though it's their top rated exterior oil primer, the long drying time was a turn-off to me. Therefore, I immediately switched to their A-100 Exterior Fast Dry Stain Blocking Alkyd Wood Primer ($41.29). Not only was this primer less expensive, it brushed on easily with no thinning required and I was able to apply a second coat in as little as 2 hours. (This was especially important as every window got 2 coats of primer.) For my top coat (2nd trip to Sherwin Williams), I picked up one gallon of Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel ($89.49/Gal). This paint is not cheap, but it's worth every penny. First of all, it's water based and cleans up easily. It's also an interior / exterior paint; therefore, I plan to use it for my interior trim as well. This premium paint (urethane enamel) has excellent coverage and leaves minimal to no brush marks, especially if you are using a quality brush such as a Wooster or a Purdy (in which Sherwin Williams stocks the latter). No Flo-trol is needed to make this urethane enamel flow any smoother than it already does. Again, I used a tack cloth between the primer coat and finish coat to remove any dust, bugs or other foreign debris to ensure I got a smooth finish. I've been to this Sherwin-Williams a few additional times and on every single visit, I was greeted by a courteous and knowledgeable salesperson. Store Manager Bryant Lopez has definitely instilled a prideful workforce, as is evident by their excellent customer service.

So yes, walk in to the huge nursery but don't feel overwhelmed. There will be a well-informed employee there to help you. And you don't have to go hunting for them. Perino's is paradise at this time of year when most of our minds are geared towards making our outdoor spaces beautiful, even if in a month or two we will be hiding inside from the heat. Perino's has it all from annuals to perennials to shrubs to trees and everything in between. Yes, you're paying more for things than you will at HD or Lowes, but the quality is profoundly superior to what you'll get there (sidenote: it's depressing to see the wilting flora at the big box stores, clearly due to lack of watering. Then they put them on sale but c'mon). Perino's has sales at times, too. Proof of quality: I see in my last review 12 years ago that I mention buying a star jasmine vine. I still have that vine and it made it through two cross country moves!

They were quickly putting new trees out as others were purchased. We found the 7-8 foot section and I quickly found one that I liked. We opted to have the tree delivered ($55 for our area). They had a large selection of trees in all sizes. They build their own stands and have the water bowl built in to keep the tree fresh and they give the tree a fresh cut on delivery day. Only disappointment we had is that their info sheet they give you for delivery says they'll help you decide on which side to face outward and trim any branches that need trimming. Instead they brought the tree in, put it on the floor protector we bought, and cut the string wrapped around the tree before running out the door. We had quite a bit to trim around the base before decorating including quite a few small branches that went directly into the water bowl. Next time we may just have them tie it to the car and save the delivery fee.
