Not all paint is the same, and the price gap between decent and premium is smaller than the gap in how long they last. Here's how we help Jefferson City homeowners choose.
For exteriors: 100% acrylic latex with good UV resistance and elastomeric flex. Mid-Missouri sees big temperature swings, and rigid coatings crack at the corners of siding boards. The two lines we reach for most often are Sherwin-Williams Duration and Emerald and Benjamin Moore Aura and Regal Select Exterior.
For interior walls: matte or eggshell for most rooms, satin in kitchens and bathrooms where moisture and cleaning matter, flat on ceilings. Higher-end interior lines like Benjamin Moore Regal Select and Aura clean better and touch up more evenly than budget lines.
For trim, doors, and cabinets: semi-gloss or satin urethane-modified enamels. On cabinets specifically we use the Sherwin-Williams Gallery Series — it's built for daily kitchen abuse and levels out to a factory-smooth finish when sprayed.
Color choice is the other half of this. Undertones and how a color reads in your home's specific light matter more than the swatch in the store. Every booked Pezley project includes a free color consultation through our local Benjamin Moore supplier — one of the fastest ways we know to save a homeowner from a color they'd regret.
