Get Accurate Paint Estimates
Before you or your contractor buy paint, find out exactly how much you'll need. If more than one room is being painted with the same color, add up the total square footage.
PLEASE NOTE: These calculations are not intended to give more than a rough estimate. Precise paint needs will vary according to many factors, including application method. These calculations assume 2 coats of paint and do not include the ceiling.

Professional Painting Tips
Always Buy Extra Paint
Purchase 10-15% more paint than calculated to account for touch-ups, texture variations, and future repairs.
Consider Surface Texture
Rough or textured surfaces require more paint than smooth walls. Factor in additional coverage for stucco, brick, or heavily textured surfaces.
Quality Matters
Higher quality paints often provide better coverage, meaning you may need less paint overall and achieve better results.
