DON GODDARD
For Don Goddard, owner of All About Paint, LLC in Springfield, MO, interior work is the core of his business. He has three go-to primers, depending on the task at hand. For walls and ceilings, he uses PPG Paints PVA Interior Acrylic Latex Primer. “I had another brand that I really liked until my rep introduced me to the PPG PVA,” Goddard says. “It is $1 cheaper per gallon and does a great job. It has a good consistency and doesn’t separate.” For cabinetry, he likes Zinsser ALLPRIME Oil-Base Primer, Sealer & Stain Blocker. “It has a quick dry time; it dries to the touch in 40 minutes and can be recoated in two hours,” he notes. “Plus, it’s good at blocking stains. We’ve never had a failure with it.” If he needs to block a lot of tough stains or if he’s working with a wood that has a lot of knots, like pine, he likes SherwinWilliams ProBlock Primer, which is oil-based.
THE BRAND YOUR CONTRACTORS WILL ASK FOR BY NAME
“If we have some stubborn stains, we like [Sherwin-Williams White Pigmented Shellac Primer]. The synthetic shellac primers, for the purpose of blocking out smoke and odors, don’t perform as well as the natural. We learned that the hard way.” —JASON PHILLIPS, PHILLIPS HOME IMPROVEMENTS

DAVE KENEALY
Based in the south suburbs of Chicago, Dave Kenealy handles mostly residential interior projects, including insurance work. The owner of L.A. Painting Services, Inc. (named after his oldest daughter, Lauren Ann) has had his business for 22 years. In that time, he’s tried various primers, and currently turns to Zinsser products. He likes Zinsser B-I-N. “I like it for the better drying time than the water-based primers,” he says. B-I-N boasts a 35-minute drying time (re-coat in two hours) and helps seal up fire and water damage. And he likes Zinsser Cover Stain Oil-Base Primer when dealing with exterior wood jobs that require scraping and priming. The product, he says, also helps prevent any tannin and bleeding.
