Colin Jaffe’ BehrPro Paint Interview Video
Tim Carter interviews Colin Jaffe', Behr Senior VP of Professional Sales, on February 12, 2014. The first-ever Behr Paint editors conference had just concluded and I was one of but a small handful of media invited to the event. It was one for the history books to be sure.
Tim built custom homes and did ultra-custom remodeling for 20+ years before launching his Ask the Builder media presence. He was selected as one of the Big 50 by Remodeling magazine in 1993. This award gave birth to Ask the Builder in October 1993. Tim also operates https://DrawPlumbingPlans.com. His @askthebuilder YouTube channel was the first home improvement channel on YouTube.
Sherwin-Williams, you have a problem on your hands. Home Depot's huge footprint lacks the intimacy of a boutique. But if Behr proves its excellence, who needs a boutique ? Or perhaps Behr will price its high performance paints in line with others in that segment in which case I will continue with my local vendors.
A homeowner, I favor the local hardware, paint, electrical, and plumbing shops. Their service and wares are all top-notch. I cheerfully pay for top quality materials knowing that "investment" will pay well in the long run.
