Transform Your Home with Benjamin Moore Painting
Choosing Benjamin Moore paint is only one part of creating a durable, professional-looking finish. The product must also be matched to the surface, moisture level, expected wear, lighting, desired sheen, and condition of the existing coating. Careful preparation and proper application are equally important.
D & H Painting and Remodeling provides professional Benjamin Moore painting services for homeowners throughout Jefferson County, AL and surrounding communities. With more than 30 years of experience, our owner-operated company helps homeowners select appropriate coatings for walls, ceilings, bathrooms, kitchens, cabinets, doors, trim, siding, and other interior and exterior surfaces.

D & H also backs its workmanship with a one-year labor warranty.
A water heater may be out of sight, but its location and capacity can affect the success of a renovation. It is important to evaluate the system when a project includes:
- Adding a bathroom or guest suite
- Converting an unfinished area into living space
- Installing a larger bathtub or multi-outlet shower
- Relocating a kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room
- Reconfiguring a garage or utility room
- Building a home addition
- Replacing walls or flooring near the existing unit
- Moving from a tank-style system to tankless equipment
- Changing from gas to electric water heating
Planning early allows space, access, drainage, power, gas, and ventilation needs to be considered before finishes are selected.It can also help prevent a new vanity, cabinet, doorway, wall, or storage area from interfering with future service access.
When Should a Water Heater Be Considered During Remodeling?
Choosing the Right Benjamin Moore Paint for Your Home
Benjamin Moore manufactures several paint families designed for different levels of performance and different applications. The best choice is not automatically the most expensive product or the product with the most recognizable name.
A living room with limited contact has different requirements than a hallway used every day. A bathroom needs a coating capable of handling humidity, while cabinets and trim require a finish that can withstand frequent touching and cleaning. Exterior siding must be evaluated differently from an interior wall because it is exposed to sunlight, rain, heat, moisture, and changing temperatures.
Before recommending a coating, D & H Painting and Remodeling considers:
- The surface material and its current condition
- Whether the surface has been painted previously
- The type and condition of the existing coating
- Exposure to water, humidity, sunlight, and daily wear
- The homeowner’s cleaning and maintenance expectations
- The color change and desired sheen
- Whether repairs or primer are required
This product-specific approach helps prevent common problems such as poor adhesion, uneven sheen, visible patches, premature peeling, and finishes that are difficult to maintain.

Benjamin Moore Aura Interior Paint
Aura Interior is one of Benjamin Moore’s highest-performing interior paint lines. It uses the brand’s Color Lock technology, which is designed to support lasting color depth and fade resistance. Benjamin Moore also identifies Aura Interior for strong hide, washability, stain resistance, and resistance to scuffing. It is available in matte, eggshell, satin, and semi-gloss finishes.
Aura may be worth considering for spaces where rich color, washability, or premium appearance is a priority. These may include living rooms, dining rooms, primary bedrooms, entryways, and open-concept areas where the painted surfaces are especially visible.
The product alone, however, cannot hide every defect. Uneven drywall repairs, nail pops, damaged corners, water stains, loose tape, and poorly patched holes can remain noticeable after painting. D & H evaluates and prepares these surfaces before applying the finish so the completed room looks consistent rather than simply repainted.
Regal Select for Everyday Living Areas
Regal Select Interior is a durable, washable paint frequently used in residential spaces. Benjamin Moore describes it as resistant to scuffs, marring, and burnishing, with stain-release technology intended to make everyday marks easier to remove. It also provides the flow, leveling, coverage, and hide expected for professional interior painting.
Regal Select can be a practical choice for family rooms, bedrooms, hallways, offices, dining spaces, and other regularly used areas. The most appropriate sheen depends on the surface and the homeowner’s priorities.
Flatter finishes can help soften the appearance of minor wall imperfections, while eggshell, satin, and semi-gloss finishes generally provide progressively more sheen and washability. More sheen can also make dents, patches, and uneven textures easier to see, which is why surface preparation and sheen selection should be considered together.
Benjamin Moore Paint for Bathrooms
Bathroom paint must handle conditions that do not normally exist in a dry bedroom or formal dining room. Steam, condensation, splashes, limited air circulation, and repeated cleaning can place additional stress on walls and ceilings.
Aura Bath & Spa is formulated specifically for high-humidity environments and provides a matte finish. This can be valuable for homeowners who want the softer appearance of matte paint without using a conventional flat coating in a moisture-prone room.
Even a moisture-resistant coating cannot correct an active plumbing leak, damaged drywall, failed caulk, persistent condensation, or inadequate ventilation. Those underlying conditions should be addressed before painting. During a bathroom remodeling project, D & H can coordinate painting with repairs, trim, flooring, windows, doors, and fixture updates so the room is completed in the proper sequence.
ADVANCE Paint for Cabinets, Doors, and Trim
Kitchen cabinets, built-ins, doors, baseboards, crown molding, and window trim should not automatically be painted with the same coating used on surrounding walls. These surfaces experience more contact and generally benefit from a harder, smoother, more washable finish.
Benjamin Moore ADVANCE is designed for woodwork, cabinetry, trim, and doors. The product is formulated for flow and leveling, a durable washable surface, and a furniture-like finish.
Cabinet painting is especially dependent on preparation. Grease, cleaning-product residue, wax, silicone, old clear finishes, and glossy factory coatings can interfere with adhesion. The process may require cleaning, degreasing, sanding, repairs, appropriate priming, careful application, and sufficient drying and curing time.
D & H Painting and Remodeling evaluates the current cabinet finish before recommending a refinishing process. This helps homeowners understand the difference between professionally refinishing sound cabinets and attempting to cover worn or incompatible surfaces with a quick coat of paint.
Benjamin Moore Exterior Paint
Exterior paint provides color and curb appeal, but it also serves as a protective coating over siding, trim, fascia, doors, and other building materials. The coating’s performance depends heavily on surface condition and moisture management.
Benjamin Moore offers exterior products such as Aura Exterior and Regal Select Exterior. Regal Select Exterior is available in multiple finishes and is positioned as a professional-quality exterior coating. Benjamin Moore’s current professional product guide also identifies Aura Exterior, Regal Select Exterior, and Element Guard among its exterior coating options.
Before exterior painting begins, areas of peeling, cracking, blistering, or discoloration should be examined. These symptoms may be related to weathering, failed caulk, deteriorated wood, trapped moisture, poor previous preparation, or an unstable older coating.
Depending on the home, preparation may include washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough edges, repairing damaged areas, replacing failed caulk, and priming exposed or problem surfaces. Painting over deterioration without addressing its cause may improve the appearance temporarily without producing a lasting result.
A home addition may create a bedroom suite, bathroom, laundry room, kitchenette, or expanded family area. These projects can increase hot-water demand while also changing the distance between the water heater and the fixtures.
Longer pipe runs can increase the amount of time it takes for hot water to reach a distant faucet or shower. The remodeling plan may therefore need to consider pipe routing, insulation, equipment location, and whether a point-of-use or recirculation solution is appropriate.
The new space should also be designed without blocking access to the existing water heater. Equipment eventually requires inspection, maintenance, repair, and replacement. A finished wall, narrow doorway, permanently installed shelving, or poorly positioned flooring transition can make that future work unnecessarily difficult.
Planning Around a Rheem Water Heater in a Home Addition
Protecting Finished Areas from Water Damage
Water heaters should be considered when installing new flooring, drywall, cabinetry, baseboards, or finished storage areas nearby. Even a well-maintained system contains a substantial amount of water or is connected to a pressurized supply.
Depending on the location and system, the project may benefit from a drain pan, suitable drainage route, moisture-resistant materials, leak detection, accessible shutoff controls, or a Rheem model with available leak-monitoring features. Select ProTerra models include LeakSense or LeakGuard systems designed to identify and help manage leaks.
These features should complement—not replace—correct installation, periodic inspection, and maintenance.

Delta Showerheads and Hand Showers
Delta offers fixed showerheads, rain heads, hand showers, slide-bar systems, and In2ition two-in-one designs. A hand shower can make rinsing, cleaning, bathing children, washing pets, and assisting someone with limited mobility more convenient.
Select Delta shower products use H2Okinetic Technology, which controls water movement and droplet size to create the feeling of greater pressure and water coverage. The technology uses specially designed internal channels rather than moving parts inside the showerhead.
Many Delta showerheads also include Touch-Clean spray holes. These soft rubber openings allow mineral residue to be wiped from the spray face with a finger instead of requiring soaking or chemical cleaning.
Water efficiency may be an important consideration when selecting bathroom faucets and showerheads. Products carrying the EPA WaterSense label are independently certified to meet water-efficiency and performance standards.
WaterSense-labeled bathroom sink faucets use no more than 1.5 gallons per minute, reducing flow by at least 30% compared with the standard 2.2-gallon-per-minute rate. WaterSense-labeled showerheads use no more than 2 gallons per minute compared with the federal standard of 2.5 gallons per minute.
Not every Delta fixture carries the WaterSense label, so homeowners should review the exact product specifications rather than assuming all models have the same flow rate.

Selecting Benjamin Moore Colors for Jefferson County Homes
Paint colors should be evaluated alongside the permanent materials already in or around the home. For exterior projects, that includes brick, stone, roofing, walkways, driveways, shutters, landscaping, and neighboring finishes. For interior projects, flooring, cabinets, countertops, tile, furniture, natural light, and artificial lighting can all influence how a color appears.
A white with a cool undertone may look noticeably different beside warm brick or cream-colored tile. A deep blue or green may look balanced in a bright room but much darker in a room with limited natural light. Even neutral colors can shift throughout the day as the direction and intensity of the light changes.
D & H recommends reviewing actual samples on or near the intended surface rather than making a final decision from a small digital image. Samples should be observed during different parts of the day and compared with the materials that will remain after the project is completed.
Remodeling Experience and Personal Oversight
Professional Application from an Experienced Remodeling Company
The finished result depends on more than the brand printed on the paint can. Repairs, cleaning, sanding, caulking, primer, application technique, environmental conditions, and drying time all influence how the coating looks and performs.
Because D & H Painting and Remodeling handles both painting and remodeling, we understand how the painting process connects with flooring, trim, cabinets, siding, windows, doors, kitchens, bathrooms, and additions. Painting can be scheduled after the necessary construction and repair work so new finishes are not damaged or applied prematurely.
Homeowners throughout Jefferson County can rely on our owner-operated company for personal oversight, clear communication, high-quality work, and more than three decades of experience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Benjamin Moore Paint
Which Benjamin Moore paint is best for interior walls?
The best product depends on the room and the expected level of wear. Aura Interior may be appropriate when premium color depth, hide, stain resistance, and washability are priorities. Regal Select is another durable option for everyday living areas and is designed to resist common scuffs, marks, and stains.
Does Benjamin Moore make paint specifically for humid bathrooms?
Yes. Aura Bath & Spa is designed for high-humidity environments and provides a matte finish. Moisture-resistant paint should still be paired with proper ventilation and repairs to any leaks, damaged drywall, failed caulk, or recurring condensation.
Can Benjamin Moore paint be used to refinish kitchen cabinets?
Benjamin Moore ADVANCE is formulated for cabinets, doors, trim, and woodwork. The existing cabinet finish must be evaluated and properly cleaned, sanded, repaired, and primed when necessary before the finish coats are applied.
How should I choose a Benjamin Moore paint sheen?
The choice depends on the surface condition, desired appearance, traffic, moisture, and cleaning needs. Matte and eggshell finishes are commonly considered for walls, while satin or semi-gloss may be selected for areas needing greater washability. Trim, doors, and cabinets often benefit from a smoother, more durable enamel-type finish.
