I have always found buying quality paint to actually cost less over years. Quality paint is more durable and simply last longer. The bonding agents in more expensive paint are usually better also. I have always suggested that homeowners buy quality paint over cheap paint supplies. Quality paint and quality tools are always the better choice.

To estimate the quantity of paint required, you will need to know the room wall sizes (length, height, and width), the number and size of the windows, and the number and size of doors. A standard living room (12’ x 8’) requires 2 to 3 gallons of paint using the industry average of 350 sq.ft. per gallon. If you plan to have a different color on the ceiling, trim, or accent wall, that will have to be calculated separately.
But before we dive into the topic, let’s find out the difference between an estimate and a quote.

5. Paint siding. Apply paint (preferably with an eggshell or satin finish) using a roller for large open spaces and a brush for more detailed work around the trim and other features.
