I recently purchased a house and want to paint the interior walls. Since most of the paint companies have the same colors I cant decide which paint company to go with: Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Willimans, or Behr. Can you please lend a helping hand and tell me why you feel its better.

This topic has been discussed many, many times. Search the archives for behr.
Can't go wrong with either S-W or BM. Far superior paints.

It should be noted that Sherwin-Williams,the second largest paint manufacturer in the world,produces a number of paint lines including Martin-Senour and Pratt and Lambert which are also quality lines.It should also be noted that within virtually all paint lines are multiple levels of quality at multiple levels of price.Although paint is often discounted and put on sale the bottom line is better paint costs more.Research through organizations such as Consumer Reports can help clarify which lines are best.An example is Glidden which produced several lines under the "Spred" name.Just because a paint has a brand name or line name on it does not mean it is the top quality product of that company or line.

Good point, very true. I'm not a believer of Consumer Reports when it comes to certain items, especially paints/sundries. My experience with using them is what I generally go by. Unfortunately, with its mass-marketing campaign and all, I haven't found any line of paint carrying the 'behr' name to be worth spit.

DOH! I forgot Pratt & Lambert. It is indeed a high quality paint.
