Painting is a great way to freshen up a living space on a tight budget. Paint is relatively inexpensive if you compare it to the cost of a major renovation. With this said, it is in your best interest to prime a space before painting. Primer is an extra step but well worth the, money, time and effort.

The job of primer is to “cover over” everything and anything that is in its path. Finding the best primer available in your area is an important step to a successful end product.
Tip:
Go with “top of the line” paint brands even if it costs a bit more. These primers are full bodied with good “hide” and will cover over everything on the wall the first time around.
I speak from experience. Having just finished a job in my basement where I used Lowes “Valspar” brand and was so utterly frustrated with the product. From now on it’s 100% Benjamin Moore for me.
