I'm a landlord, own several houses I currently rent. Based on my
experience with Behr brand exterior house paint purchased from Home
Depot, I'll never buy that Behr brand guano or any paint from Home
Depot again!!


I'm also a landlord in the same situation and can't say that I agree.

I've used Behr soild color exterior stain on three houses and one
garage with excellent results. So far, I've truly gotten 10 years and
counting out of their 20 Plus stain.

Also, I've used Behr exterior white semi-gloss trim enamel and have
found it to be excellent. Even Consumer Reports (ya, I know they are
not perfect) has rated Behr highly.

What grade of Behr paint did you buy and how/where was it used?

I've also had good luck with their America's Best interior medium
grade paint (made for them by Glidden/ICI Industries).
Also they sell about three grades of Glidden, also well rated.

I did have poor luck with one can of Behr interior enamel. It seemed
runny and the color was not consistent even after mixing.
