[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eggshell.  We redid our basement and I forgot to mention that's what I wanted to our contractor.  He painted it in flat and after a month there were scuffs on the wall.  I can magic eraser and spray clean EVERYTHING off of the eggshell walls upstairs, but we're going to have to repaint the stupid basement now.

And I agree with pps who say to do it yourself.  DH and his friend did our main floor, and I did my master and laundry rooms myself and they turned out great.  If you see any imperfections in your drywall, sand them out, wash your walls, and get a forgiving paint.   I know everyone on here loves Aura, but I prefer Behr Ultra.  It goes on great and it's really affordable.  Duron's higher end stuff is nice too and it's all Sherwin Williams color.[/quote]

No, no, no. Not Behr.

Quality paint costs $60 a gallon. [/quote]

the new behr premium self priming is excellent and cheap[/quote]

Get a couple of estimates.  I have a 3500 SF and 5 yrs ago when I was getting quotes for just the living, dining and family room I was getting quotes of $5k to $7k.  I found a painter through my cousin who did the painting for me for $1k  --- I purchased the paint but he supplied everything else.

FWIW -- I recently used the Behr premium with self priming and it was easy to use and great paint.  Much better than the Benjamin Moore I purchased a couple of years ago. [/quote]
