## Story

With the COVID-19 pandemic causing shortages of nearly everything, prices have been getting jacked up as well. In a recent article on WOW-TV, it has been reported that paint prices have gone up nearly 13% with supply-chain surcharges. Tim Dorn, owner of Omaha’s 360 Painting franchise, says that customers need to research different contractors that will go out of their way to get the job done within budget.

“We have to go to numerous suppliers for paint, and then also numerous stores with our main supplier, sometimes driving to Bellevue when you have a project on 180th and Dodge,” Dorn told WOW-TV. “What we’ve been able to do in some cases is we’ve rewarded customers by giving them a paint upgrade when we can’t find the supplies that we need, and generally that makes the customer happy.”
