Built for NYC Weather
Benjamin Moore Exterior Paint
Finishes that hold their color through every New York season.
New York City is hard on exteriors. Summer heat, winter freeze, driving rain, and constant sun all take a toll on the surfaces around a building. Benjamin Moore exterior lines are formulated to stand up to those seasons, protecting your investment while keeping color looking fresh year after year.
Choosing the Right Exterior Line
For the most demanding jobs, Aura Exterior is the premium choice. It is built for maximum durability and outstanding color retention, and it can be applied in cooler temperatures, around 35 to 40 F, which extends your painting window into the shoulder seasons. When you want long-lasting performance with the deepest, truest color, Aura is the line to reach for.
If you are looking for excellent performance at a mid-premium price, Regal Select Exterior is a strong option. It offers reliable protection and a beautiful finish for the majority of residential and small-building projects, balancing quality and value.
Common NYC Exterior Surfaces
City buildings present a mix of materials, and each one paints differently. Around the neighborhood we regularly help customers coat brick and masonry, iron railings and fire escapes, and doors and trim. The right primer makes all the difference here, especially on metal and on masonry, where the correct base coat ensures adhesion and prevents premature failure. Bring us your project details and we will recommend the right primer and topcoat pairing.
