Choosing Sundries
What are sundries? Well, they are all the little things that make the job better, easier and safer. Things that
you may not even think about until the project is started. Some big things like drop cloths to protect the furniture and rollers to apply the paint. Some
little things like a putty knife or filler for holes. And, some important things like Safety Glasses and Gloves. All of these fall under the category of sundry items.
One general rule for sundries; quality makes the job go easier. It's tempting to purchase an inexpensive
brush when the project is leaning up against the budget, and we stock them for you. But, a professional
paint brush can last a homeowner for years. And it pays for itself every time you use it.
We have listed the most common sundry items according to typical project.Just
