Thinking About Painting Your Home? How much Paint Will You Need?

Thinking about painting your home?  Here is a handy guide to help you determine how much paint you will need to purchase.

Measure the areas you are going to paint, and then convert to square feet.

 Surface                                 Coverage (per gallon)

Exterior Rough                         90-110 sq ft
Exterior Smooth                       375-475 sq ft
Interior Rough                          120-190 sq ft
Interior Smooth                        420-490 sq ft

These numbers will assist you in determining the amount you will need for the first coat.  If a second coat is required it usually requires about 2/3 as much paint.

You will want to have your painting contractor/vendor confirm these numbers based on their product’s coverage as amounts may vary depending on the type of paint selected and the painting application technique used.

 As we all know, many homeowners are losing money on their real estate investments these days, but they are not alone.

Even the nation’s most well recognized real estate mogul, Donald Trump, just took a huge loss on the sale of one of his personal homes. 

The 11,000 sq. ft. home in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA cost $12M when it was built in 2010, but recently sold for only $7.15M.

While this doesn’t take the sting out of a personal loss for the average homeowner, it does help squelch the question of “am I the only one who makes bad investments?”.
