Sherwin-Williams vs. Benjamin Moore: What We Recommend for Nashville Homes

Both Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore make premium paints—but which is better for your home? At The Ville Painting Co., we use both brands regularly and help Nashville homeowners choose the best fit based on their budget, project scope, and style.

Durability & CoverageFor high-traffic areas like hallways or kitchens, we often recommend Sherwin-Williams’ Emerald line or Benjamin Moore’s Regal Select. Both offer excellent coverage, but BM is slightly thicker and better for hiding imperfections in one coat.

Color Selection & AccuracyBenjamin Moore is famous for its nuanced, designer-friendly color palette. Sherwin-Williams offers broader contractor accessibility and excellent color-matching services. We test samples from both to help you pick the perfect shade for your lighting and decor.

Finish OptionsBoth brands offer flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss finishes—but Benjamin Moore’s finishes tend to have a softer sheen, while Sherwin-Williams has a slightly glossier touch. We guide you through selecting the right one for trim, walls, and ceilings.

Price PointBenjamin Moore is typically slightly more expensive per gallon, but well worth the investment for certain applications. Sherwin-Williams runs frequent sales, making it more cost-effective for large jobs.
