- UV exposure: Moderate — typical continental UV, standard binder packages adequate
- Salt-air corrosion zone: No salt-air corrosion exposure (interior continental)
- Freeze-thaw cycling: High — 60-100 freeze-thaw cycles drive sealant inspection on every repaint

Missouri licensing, lead-safe & permits
- License status: No statewide license — municipal credentials only

- Permit: no permit required for repaint; St. Louis Class B contractor registration required for residential exterior contracting above $5,000
How exterior repaint costs vary in Missouri
State-specific code or insurance rule: Missouri has no statewide residential painting contractor licensing — Missouri Revised Statutes §700 reserves construction trade regulation to municipalities, but Missouri DHSS separately maintains a Lead Abatement Contractor license under 19 CSR 30-70 for any pre-1978 housing prep that disturbs more than 2 square feet of painted surface in St. Louis, Kansas City, and St. Joseph, lowering the EPA RRP federal trigger threshold and capturing the majority of urban Missouri repaint scope.
