Thinking About Painting Your Home?

Thinking about painting your home?  Here is a handy guide to help you determine how much paint you will need to purchase.

Measure the areas you are going to paint, and then convert to square feet.

 Surface                                 Coverage (per gallon)

Exterior Rough                         90-110 sq ft

Exterior Smooth                       375-475 sq ft

Interior Rough                          120-190 sq ft

Interior Smooth                        420-490 sq ft

 

These numbers will assist you in determining the amount you will need for the first coat.  If a second coat is required it usually requires about 2/3 as much paint.

You will want to have your painting contractor/vendor confirm these numbers based on their product’s coverage as amounts may vary depending on the type of paint selected and the painting application technique used.
