So I need to repaint the interior of the house (entire house).

I stopped by the local PPG store, Lowes and HomeDepot and checked what they have. My house had PPG toasted almond, which is a standard paint color PPG carries at their stores without the need to mix. Otherwise, I could go to Lowes for Valspar, or HomeDepot for Glidden.

Which brand has better quality? Stick with the original brand the builder used? Glidden Premium has the best price point. I heard many people said bad things about Behr though.

Behr has stepped up their game with their higher end paints, but for fifty a gallon it should be very good to excellent. One above contractor grade PPG is decent for half the cost if you prime. I prime all my paint work btw.
