How Much Paint Do You Really Need?

Stop wasting money on extra gallons

DID YOU KNOW?

Most homeowners buy 20-30% more paint than they actually need

That's $50-100 wasted per room

THE SIMPLE FORMULA

(Length + Width) x 2 x Height = Wall Area

Then subtract doors and windows

SUBTRACT OPENINGS

Each door = 21 sq ft

Each window = 15 sq ft

PRO TIP

Ask your paint store to tint your primer to match your final color

This saves you an entire coat of paint

QUICK RULE

1 gallon covers about 350-400 sq ft

Always round UP
