    FAQ
    Does this estimate include ceilings or trim?
    No. It estimates wall paint. Add separate measurements for ceilings, trim, doors, cabinets, textured surfaces, or accent walls.
    Why does the tool round gallons up?
    Paint estimates should avoid underbuying. Surface texture, color change, roller type, and product coverage can all require extra paint.
    When should I add a waste allowance?
    Add a small waste allowance when walls are textured, the color change is strong, touch-ups are likely, or you need a little extra for roller and tray loss.
    When is primer worth estimating?
    Estimate primer when covering stains, patchy repairs, new drywall, strong color changes, or surfaces where the paint label recommends priming first.
