Quote from @Steven Norris:

I work with people all across the spectrum of real estate and I always get asked for painters and coupons, and I always have to go shopping with them for them to get my discount code because they aren't members of the group that I am where I get the discount code from.

And now that I found bigger pockets recently and have loved every minute of being part of the community, I want to share this with everyone and hope that this paint discount helps everyone out there!

Now here's the thing, you would have to pay for the discount, the organization that has the discount code costs $195 a year to be part of it, but all you have to do is the math, if you're saving 30% to 57% off your paint purchases and painting supplies then is that worth it?

It's only a discount for Sherwin Williams, so if you don't like them, they don't have a discount code for anyone else.

There's no minimum order you have to place in order to use the code, and it's a 30% to 57% discount. Why the large swing, because every paint company has different "levels" of paint, so it's based off of the level of paint you get.

But I've been part of this organization for years, and just the discounts alone are worth it.

Are you able to share what the discount % is for Emerald? Thanks!

 Probably so... I was hoping to see if someone had stained them and what they used. Thanks!

Has anyone done it before? Wondering which product was used to achieve the 'white oak' look?

@Bob M. I can refer you to my current RE agent in Montgomery. Please DM me details of the property you are looking to sell, I may be interested!

@Jeffrey Albaum thank you!! I have tried that platform before 3 years ago, I guess I should give it a shot again.

Please share your favorite PM in Haddon Heights, NJ! 

I am looking for a really good cleaner in Montgomery, AL... any recommendations?

@Larry Smith @Matthew Hoover sending you a PM. I have a great one whom I personally use, after going through a few PMs and interviewing quite a few of them, they didn't make the cut. 

I recently bought a 1925 quadplex out of state... it has a lot of deferred maintenance including ‘some’ wood siding repair. Turns out the studs on the back wall of the building were all damaged by termite. My contractor replaced the studs and the bottom half of siding. They did tell me the original siding material they got didn’t fit, they were too thick to fit underneath the original siding, so they went with weathershield 2x contact boards and used dog ear wood for the small connecting pieces. I don’t know much about siding and since I am in daily communication with them so I don’t think they were being shady but my property manager does. My property manager truly dislikes them since the day I told him they gave me a much more reasonable quote than the contractor he recommended me whom I did use on another project...

Is it a bad thing that the some fence boards were used if they will be sealed and painted? My PM thinks they didn’t use any of the 2x ground contact materials like they claimed since all of the wood looks rough cut. I looked up the item descriptions, they seemed similar - both made of pine, treated etc. I’m currently also out of country, so I can’t  go to Home Depot to check out the materials and compare the textures myself. I’m very torn and stressed throughout my current vacation bc of this, I would prefer not have to fire either one of them to stop the ‘drama’.

Hi David, please email more details to [email protected]. Thanks!
