Sherwin-Williams, BEHR and Sherwin-Williams Paint Store Rank Highest in Respective Segments

Overall satisfaction with paint retailers has declined 7 points to 697 (on a 1,000-point scale) from a year ago, according to the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Paint Satisfaction Study,^SM released today. Shoppers experiencing increased problems when using digital tools to purchase is the biggest contributor to the drop in overall satisfaction.

“You never get a second chance to make a first impression and the website is that first impression,” said Michael Taylor, senior managing director of retail intelligence at J.D. Power. “Although brick-and-mortar stores are still vital in the home improvement space, providing an intuitive website with product information, painting tips and tricks as well as increasing the ease of navigation for shoppers will get the paint shopping experience off on a positive note.”
