my uncle is old ,my uncle is stubborn , my uncle is old fashion , my uncle is very cheap and now my uncle is visiting his son on the west coast and his daughter wants to paint her dads house before he returns . i got a bunch of estimates for a complete paint job and now i understand why my uncle is a cheapskate . no problem as i got 4 guys to paint thanks to my bowling buddy. after showing jose (main painter ) what needs to be painted ,he told me exactly how many gallons of paint was needed , the color and what other supplies needed for the job . i headed to sherwin -williams paint store on 37th st in astoria and i was hooked up with everything i needed for the job. large parking lot out front made it a quick in and out visit . the counter guy was very helpful and recommend a top grade paint that will last a long time and at a reasonable cost . this paint store has everything you need from paints to supplies , etc . i was lucky cause the 4 amigos who were doing the painting had all the brushes , buckets , drop cloths, etc, i just had to get the paint and some filling plaster . i did not have to travel far for the paint and job was done in 3 days and looks professional without the pro cost . very good paint store in astoria and my cheap uncle will be happy and even more when he finds out that it wont cost him a penny. read more
