Estimating the Amount Of Paint Needed For Interior Surfaces

handymanaltamontesprings.david...
This video is about Estimating the Amount Of Paint Needed For Interior Surfaces.
Measuring is Much easier than you think and it could save you a lot of money. In order to get a ceiling measurement, measure the Length and the width of the room and multiply these numbers together. To estimate the wall surface area, measure the length of each wall, then add them together. Then measure the height of the room. To estimate the trim, measure the length of the various trims, such as the base boards, door trim and any crown molding. It is important to estimate the right amount of paint to prevent over buying.

Thank you so much for your help, Much appreciation to you sir!!

Very clearly explained. Thanks very much.

[@jamescampbell9156]

this is perfect for someone who is not that good at math thank you, I owe you a beer

[@jesuscristo400]

Very good information Thank you David!! Would like to ask you how you estimate a price for sq footage on painting ceilings, walls, and trims Thank you in advance!!

[@SG-xw6pm]

Why did we add 20' to the length and width of the trim? 1:33 of video. Also, I heard you say don't add all the lengths of the trim but you added them. Could you please explain calculating the trim again?

[@carlosleiva9406]

Thank you so much.very helpful

Great Info 👍🏽 Thank You

[@jenns.5791]

very helpful!! thank you!! any experience with Benjamin Moore paint??? I REALLY want to use their paint (mostly because their Aura line is matte. yet still completely washable) and from what I've seen their paint gets great reviews. BUT it's very expensive. I think the Aura paint is anywhere from $50-70 dollars/a gallon and I have an entire house to paint from top to bottom. that's 5 bedrooms, 2 and a half bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, a foyer, a laundry room, a walk in closet, a stairway, a side entry room. the ceilings the walls, the trim. everything! with that said, the price of that paint is going to kill me. ugh. so I was hoping it didn't take much (bm paint) to get good coverage. hence, my question.

[@evensflorest648]

waw its science I love the way you calculated that's help me purchase less paint and make more money

[@reycalaluan24]

Thanks for the info, it helps a lot as a beginner. 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍

[@stephencoorie5786]

Measure the height and width of the wall with a tape measure sometimes perimeter and area is easier to calculate if you take the measurement to one decimal place.(Even centimetres interpretation.)

[@arsenalx626x6]

Very helpful 👍🏽

New video on calculating the amount of paint to paint interior of a home.

[@snipsfromtheworld7802]

what would be the length and width of the windows and door to equal that specified sq feet?

[@azanmaalik3284]

David Norton thanks

[@PineCityStage]

Great!

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Thanks

[@Explore_With_Diallotuber]

You the best

[@vaniarun6354]

Nice

[@juanxp107]

Hi david, when you mention the "overall square footage of the room" does that include all the walls and the ceiling? If it does and that means id be giving a quote to paint all the walls + the ceiling then thats cool, but how do i give a quote to paint soely the walls in a bedroom without the ceiling?

[@jenns.5791]

I'm pretty sure that in the very beginning he shows how to calculate the size of the ceiling. if you don't need the ceiling included, then subtract its amount from your overall square footage.

[@kirkvanorden1693]

Measure each wall length and multiply the height. Then subtract 15sqft for window or 20sqft for each door.

[@wasaskwun]

What was the formula in layman term?

[@DavidNortonQuotes]

Measure the surface area.

[@janvincestevensinoy363]

What if we used sq.meter

[@Jaguar10My]

Very confuse... My country use liter not gallon

[@BloodNote]

Step 1: Do Math🤔 Step 2: I didn't bother getting the paint🤷‍♀️

[@BigChant88]

❤

[@DS-kn4bs]

Now Norton, I know that you know that I know you......

[@edgarhilton136]

Small room 1 gallon Medium room two gallons Large room three gallons for the walls

[@derwingholston2550]

120 divided by 400=0.3

[@andreejmarbbf52]

Very interesting plans for something like that I have found on the Stodoys website.

[@aaronlaluzerne6639]

Well with these calculations, I'm going to need 50 to 80 Gallons of paint to repaint my house's living room, kitchen, she'd, bathroom and other rooms in my house.
