Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate the square footage of walls in a room, measure the perimeter of the room and multiply it by the height of the walls. For ceilings, measure the length and width of the room and multiply them together. Don't subtract windows or doors for an initial estimate, as the time to cut around them often offsets the reduction in paint needed.
Basic preparation typically includes minor cleaning, dusting surfaces, taping off baseboards and trims, and laying down drop cloths to protect flooring. It usually assumes surfaces are in reasonably good condition without significant repairs needed.
Yes, specialty paints usually cost more than standard paints. You should absolutely factor in the higher material cost of low-VOC paints, stain-blocking primers, or other specialized coatings into your estimate. Communicate this clearly to the client.
For high ceilings (over 8 feet) or areas requiring extensive ladder work or scaffolding, it's common practice to increase your per-square-foot rate or add a surcharge. These conditions increase labor time, require specialized equipment, and can elevate safety risks.
A general rule of thumb is that one gallon of paint covers approximately 350-400 square feet with one coat. Divide your total square footage by this number to estimate gallons needed, then multiply by the number of coats and the specific paint's cost per gallon. Always add a little extra for touch-ups or waste.
