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 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.
