My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Lowe's Sherwin Williams paint -- same as SW store?

6 years ago

The samples of SW paint at Lowes are much cheaper than buying at the SW store. But can I rely that these samples are exactly the same paint (appearance on wall) that I will eventually buy at the SW store? Thanks.

    Thanks. I got my answer on another website--apparently the HGTV paint is an inferior version of what SW stores sell.
