Common questions
How much does it cost to paint a room?
It depends on area, coats and quality, but a typical room is a few hundred dollars in paint, plus labor if hired out.
How much paint do I need?
Roughly 1 gallon covers about 350 sq ft, so divide your paintable area by 350 and multiply by the number of coats.
