Frequently asked questions
Should I include primer in the cost estimate?
Run the calculator twice — once with primer paint type and once with topcoat — or add primer gallons manually. New drywall and bold color changes need primer.
Why is my estimate higher than one gallon?
Two coats on walls plus ceiling, waste allowance, and door/window deductions all affect gallons. We round up to whole gallons like the store sells them.
