Benjamin Moore Paints & Coatings | Costa Painting, LLC

Benjamin Moore Paints & Coatings

Costa Painting, LLC also works with Benjamin Moore paints and coatings when they are the right fit for the project.

Benjamin Moore offers a wide range of high-quality interior and exterior products, and we select coatings based on the surface, condition, expected wear, and finish the homeowner is looking for.

Just like with any paint system, we believe the best results come from matching the right product with proper surface preparation.

Products Selected for the Project

Depending on the job, we may recommend Benjamin Moore products such as:

Aura®

Aura is Benjamin Moore’s premium paint line and is a strong option for homeowners looking for excellent color depth, durability, coverage, and a refined finish.

Aura Interior can work especially well in spaces where appearance and long-term performance are priorities.

Aura Exterior is designed for durable exterior performance and long-lasting color, making it an option for siding, trim, and other properly prepared exterior surfaces.

Regal® Select

Regal Select is a dependable premium interior paint that combines durability, washability, and a smooth professional finish.

It is a good option for many everyday living spaces, including:

• Living rooms

• Bedrooms

• Hallways

• Kitchens

• Dining areas

• High-traffic rooms

Its balance of appearance and durability makes it a versatile choice for residential interior painting.

Advance®

Advance is a durable enamel commonly used for surfaces that receive more wear and handling.

It can be an excellent option for:

• Kitchen cabinets

• Bathroom vanities

• Interior doors

• Trim

• Built-ins

• Shelving

When properly prepared and applied, Advance is designed to level smoothly and provide a durable, furniture-like finish.

Interior Paint for Different Spaces

Not every room in a home needs the same type of paint.

Bedrooms and living rooms may prioritize appearance and a soft finish, while kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and high-use areas may benefit from greater washability and durability.

We help homeowners choose the appropriate Benjamin Moore product and sheen based on how the room is used and the look they want to achieve.

Exterior Coatings for Maine Homes

Maine exteriors are exposed to moisture, strong sun, snow, temperature swings, and coastal weather.

Exterior coatings need to be selected with the condition and type of surface in mind.

Whether we are painting clapboard siding, trim, doors, or another exterior surface, we evaluate the existing coating, exposure, and preparation needs before choosing the finish system.

Cabinet, Trim & Door Finishes

Cabinets, trim, and doors require coatings that can withstand regular handling and cleaning.

For these surfaces, we focus on proper cleaning, sanding, priming, adhesion, and using a coating designed for a harder, smoother finish than ordinary wall paint.

The product is important, but the preparation underneath it is what gives the finish its foundation.

Primers & Specialty Products

Depending on the condition of the surface, a project may also require a specialized primer or problem-solving coating.

Primers may be used for:

• Bare wood

• Stains

• Tannin or knot bleeding

• Patched areas

• Adhesion concerns

• Previously finished surfaces

• Weathered exterior wood

• Problem areas that need additional sealing

Selecting the right primer helps create a better surface for the finish coats that follow.

Quality Paint Still Requires Quality Preparation

Benjamin Moore makes excellent coatings, but even premium paint cannot compensate for poor preparation.

At Costa Painting, LLC, our prep-first approach means we focus on cleaning, sanding, scraping, repairing, caulking, and priming where needed before applying the finish coats.

The coating is the final layer.

The preparation underneath is what helps determine how the finished project looks and performs.

Helping You Choose the Right Product

We are always happy to explain why we recommend a particular Benjamin Moore product, primer, color, or sheen for your project.

Our goal is not to automatically choose the most expensive paint.

Our goal is to choose a product that makes sense for the surface, environment, level of use, and finish you want in your home.

Costa Painting, LLC proudly uses professional-grade Benjamin Moore paints and coatings on interior and exterior projects throughout Midcoast Maine.
