Is it better to buy paint from Lowe's or Home Depot? Whether it is better to buy paint from Lowe's or Home Depot depends on brand preference, price, and service. Home Depot sells Behr, which is highly rated for DIY value and one-coat hide in Marquee and Dynasty lines, exclusive to Home Depot, with good coverage and low price around 35 to 65 dollars, plus Glidden budget. Lowe's sells Valspar, which is owned by Sherwin-Williams, offering good quality mid-tier, and HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams, decent quality. Both have similar pricing for comparable tiers and frequent sales around holidays. Home Depot often has slightly better paint department with more color selection and Behr's strong Consumer Reports ratings, while Lowe's has Valspar with good selection. For premium, neither sells Benjamin Moore, which is at independent dealers, and Sherwin-Williams stores sell premium. For DIY value, Home Depot Behr is often considered slightly better than Lowe's Valspar for hide. For service, both similar. So better depends, Home Depot better for Behr value and one-coat, Lowe's better for Valspar and Sherwin-Williams collaboration, both good, choice based on preferred brand and current sale.
