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.
