  • How often should I paint or re-coat the exterior of my home?

    Wood surfaces—every 5 years

    Stucco—when widespread cracking or visible damage occurs

    Stained siding or shingles—every 3 years to keep the wood sealed

    OR

    Whenever you want to refresh and renew!


    Good rule of thumb—whenever peeling or cracks appear, it’s time to paint!


  • What is a “high build” formula?

    High build paints are a 100% acrylic formula made thicker to bridge small cracks and voids in fewer coats without sagging or running. They also provide added exterior surface protection. 

  • Is there an optimal temperature for painting outside?

    The temperature of so many things can affect the quality of your paint job. Everything from the outside temperature, moisture, to that of the paint itself, the surface you’re painting on, and especially the amount of humidity outside will need to be considered before painting outdoors. The ideal temperature for using our paints is around 25 ºC (77 ºF) with the humidity being as low as possible. We know this isn’t always possible, so we recommend keeping the temperature range between 1.7 ºC to 37.8 ºC. Every Benjamin Moore paint has its own specifications and optimal temperature range found on the product label or Technical Data Sheet.
