CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cabot, the premier brand in exterior wood care, has achieved the highest customer satisfaction ranking for exterior stain in the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Paint Satisfaction Study. This prestigious recognition highlights Cabot’s unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional exterior stain solutions that excel in performance and durability.
“It’s an honor to be recognized for our exterior stains that provide customers with the most satisfying experience,” stated Andy Bottoni, Senior Vice President of marketing for Cabot. “This award is a testament to our 147-year Cabot heritage and the team’s relentless dedication to developing innovative products that not only protect and enhance the beauty of exterior wood, but also elevate the overall consumer experience.”
For more than 50 years, J.D. Power has been a global leader in consumer insights, analyzing how customers interact with brands and products. This year's U.S. Paint Satisfaction Study examined customer satisfaction with interior paint, exterior paint and/or exterior stain, focusing on seven key dimensions: adequacy of coverage, durability, ease of application, ease of cleaning surfaces, level of trust, value given price paid, and variety of offerings.
This esteemed accolade comes on the heels of Cabot’s latest innovation, the Cabot Heat-Reducing Solid Stain + Sealer with Cool Feel® Technology. This new formula enhances outdoor comfort by blocking and reflecting harmful UV rays, reducing surface temperatures by up to 20 degrees F.2 Available in three colors—Cashmere Brown, Equestrian Brown, and Hampton Gray—it provides long-lasting waterproofing, exceptional washability and advanced UV protection, effectively covering old stains and mismatched boards.
“Cool Feel technology is just one example of our dedication to pushing the boundaries of innovation and prioritizing customer satisfaction,” stated Bottoni. “Our extensive portfolio has protected homeowners' exterior wood surfaces with unwavering reliability, setting our standard for superior performance and durability that defines Cabot’s enduring legacy.”
