Old man winter loses to Kilz!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had ice dams bringing water back up into attic....which then leached to ceilings of our 75 year old home. A contractor fixed the outside...but a coat of Kilz brought back the beauty inside. No more water stains leaching through. Thank you!

EXCELLENT PRODUCT!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought it by the 5gal buckets!
Currently doing a full hone reno. It was awful inside! Urine, feces, food, vomit, pet odors, tobacco odors and stains on ALL CEILING AND WALLS!
Definitely the epitome of a bad previous owner/tenant! After tearing out 2 layers of padding and carpets, the stains and stench was EVERYWHERE! Spots still wet still. Air drying and then wipe down of walls with TSP, then 2 or 3 coats of KILZ 2, LATEX. on the ceilings and walls and on floors.
The stench and stains are gone!!!
I'm a professional, I'm a general contractor. Been in trades long time, worked with many guys.
Some love KILZ, others love competition brand.
But after having used KILZ myself, on every one of my jobs ( that's many, I've lost count)!
I'm a LOYAL KILZ user, and will continue to be!
Please do not change the formula used in your products, as it is INCREDIBLY GREAT!!
THANKS AGAIN, from a professional contractor.

Worked Like A Charm!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My fiancé and I just bought our first house and wanted to freshen up the appearance. One of the rooms did not have much overhead lighting and a dark red accent wall. The KILZ primer completely covered the coloring and allowed us to lighten up the room. I will be using this on another upcoming project!

WORKS GREAT ON PANELLING
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My entire new purchased home had wood paneling literally everywhere! I researched reading researched again. Choosing Kilz was the best decision by far! I bought 5 gal buckets! Did NOT want to run out! I've currently painted my ENTIRE house using Kilz Primer. Its coverage is remarkable! Great product! Thanks, Kilz!
