"This is the third time my husband and I have painted our home in 20 years. Previously we used well know brand names which were less experience but required more paint be used , however did not weather well and faded quickly. Emerald is smooth with excellent coverage on different textures of wood. I have recommended to all my family and friends. Can't wait to start painting the inside. Thank you SW"

"Just finished the exterior of a two story 3,600 sq ft home in Tampa Bay Area using Emerald. The entire exterior was power washed to remove all dirt and chalking of the original (7 year old) exterior latex paint from Scott. I then used Loxon Conditioner over the entire surface applied at low pressure. The main body was painted using an .015 tip on a 3,000 psi airless sprayer. I tuned it down to about 1,000 psi and covered the entire exterior with one coat. Went on smooth as silk. The cover and hide is outstanding!
Best exterior paint I have ever used! Sherwin-Williams has finally gotten it right."

"I am a painiting contractor since 1973, having seen the good ole days where oil paint would brush on like it was butter and level out like it had been sprayed.I think I have tired just about every paint that is available in my area. At this point I try not to do any more Exterior work than I have to to keep my customers. While doing this I need to redo 32 windows and a wrap around front porch and spindles. With the prep work done , I stopped at my B/M dealer and pick up the paint. Had to stop at S/W for something and was talking to the store Mgr. He suggested I try Emerald and wrote me up for demo paint for the job. I must tell you honestly if I had to pay for the paint at the end of the job I would have. The paint is the next best can of exterior product that I think I have used in many many years. Yes Sherwin Williams you finally have a product that is on the way to outdoing the other guys..

"I have been trying to figure out what brand of paint to use on my new home new construction new primed hardi siding. I took samples of every brand out there from the big box stores to the paint shop brands. I used quite a few scraps of siding to see what paint looked the best. I had some paint fail while others were yeah that is liveable. I went in to my local Sherwin Williams store and talked with the store manager I bought the gallon can of the color for my house tried it out. side by side compairison to all the other brands of paint I spent money on to see what one does the best. Hands down This is the paint that really makes hardi siding look great! Thank Sherwin williams."

Exterior didn't cover body or trim well

"The house is 20 years old, sided in clear cedar clapboards, and was previously painted with solid oil-based stain from Benjamin Moore. The contractor scraped all loose paint, and there was some bare wood. He then sprayed and back-brushed the body with Emerald flat. Even after three coats on one side fo the house the areas that were scraped bare weren't covered. In addition, the trim areas that had overspray from the body needed two coats to cover. Emerald satin finish was used on the trim, mixed to match BM Navajo White.
I went back to the SW store, and they gave me a gallon of Duration to see if it covers the bare spots showing through on the siding. The contractor is going to paint the bad sections on Tuesday, if it doesn't rain. I'll post results. My contractor has always used Duration, and feels it is vastly superior to the Emerald. He noted that the Emerald is much thinner than Duration, as well as not covering well.
On a positive note, the in-store team at the Salem, NH store was very professional and helpful."
