Well, if you're looking to screw up your CI home this fall, maybe a new coat of paint will do the trick. I am here in Springfield at Dellerts Paints with owner Don Dellert. Thanks for having us. Thank you. All right, let's talk Dellerts. For quite a while. It's under Dellert's name for 76 years and there was two owners prior to that, so we probably go back around 120 years. Wow. So you just wanted to keep it in the family and keep going with it. Why? I started working for my dad when I was 10 and stayed with it and I have fun talking to people and meeting new faces. I bet so and I bet the paint business has changed and evolved over the years. Quite a bit. Let's talk about what people need to know when they're wanting to maybe change things up paint wise. What's kind of the first step that they need to be thinking about? Well, we need to know basically how long it's been since you painted last. What kind of paint did you put on it? Was it flat or semi gloss? Then we'll figure out if you need primer. Prep work is pretty much the bulk of the job, isn'that right? Yeah, make your paint job look real good. Yep. And something else that's going to make your paint job look really good is good paint. Good paint. Not all paint is created equal. What's the difference between the paint you carry versus maybe paint you might find elsewhere? Well, we carry a real good brand of paint, Benjamin Moore and PPG. Quality paint goes farther, it hides better and it washes better. So if you used maybe a cheaper version of paint thinking you're getting a good deal, it's probably not going to go as far and not stay as neat looking. It's not going to go as far and you paint per square foot. So the difference between cheaper paint and better paint per square foot is about the same price. Let's talk paint matching because I think that'something important to people. They want to get just the right color. Can you help them do that? We can do that. We can match paint to the previous color or if you have a piece of metal or fabric or something that you need paint to match, we can do that. And you've got some great help here. People who can help you pick out just the right colors and Kim is great picking up colors for people. He does a good job. She does and let's talk a little bit about what you have here to offer customers at Dellerts because it isn't just paint. Nope. We have paint. We have wallpaper. We have flooring. Window treatments. So a little bit of everything. A little bit of everything. Something else we have to mention. And we're voted best paint store in Springfield. What does that mean to you? Well, that means that people But yeah, if you had one big sales pitch, what makes you different than maybe going somewhere else? Why should they come to Dellerts? A lot of product knowledge. And customer service. And customer service. There you go. Well, anything trending right now that we need to be on the lookout for? Any hot colors? Grazias. They come out with a pink this year.
