After years of watching customers buy too much paint (wasting money) or too little paint (making extra trips and delaying projects), I knew there had to be a better way. The standard "350 square feet per gallon" estimate just doesn't account for real-world conditions.
Over 18 years of professional painting, I've developed calculation methods that factor in surface texture, paint type, application method, and even the number of coats. These real-world adjustments save customers from the frustration of running out mid-project or having leftover paint sitting in their garage for years.
My calculators are based on 500+ completed rooms and countless hours of testing different paints and techniques. They're designed to give you confidence that you're buying exactly what you need— not what the paint store thinks you need.
