Paint · 01Before you ask
Before you ask
The room size, what’s on the walls now, the sheen you want, and any stains or peeling.
- Attach your Sheet so people see your sizes and the math.
- Your town is enough. Never your address; check photos for house numbers and plates.
- Is it safe? A safety question here goes to pros verified in painting, unless you pick another trade. Only they can call it safe or unsafe.
Paint · 02Paint a room
Paint a room
14′ × 12′ room, 2 coats: 365 sq ft of wall after the doors and windows, 2.25 gallons of paint in all.
What people get wrong:
- Skipping primer when it’s needed. On new drywall or a big color change you get blotchy “flashing” and one or two extra coats.
- Not boxing the paint. Two gallons of the “same” color can differ.
- Wrong nap, overloaded roller. Drips and texture that doesn’t match.
