Frequently asked questions

How much paint do I need?

Multiply the area by the number of coats, divide by the coverage per gallon (about 350 sq ft), and round up. This calculator does it and prices it.

How is painting labor estimated?

A common rule is around 150-200 sq ft per hour per coat; set your rate and production speed in the estimate.
