Question 1

How much area does one gallon of paint cover?

Accepted Answer

On average, one gallon of high-quality paint covers approximately 350 to 400 square feet. This varies based on the texture of the wall and the porosity of the material.

Question 2

Why do I need two coats of paint?

Accepted Answer

A second coat ensures even color distribution, hides the previous color better, and provides a more durable finish that is easier to clean. For professional turnover results, two coats are industry standard.

Question 3

Do I need to paint the ceiling every time?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. If the ceiling is in good condition, many landlords only paint the walls to save time and cost. However, a fresh coat of 'Ceiling White' can make a unit feel significantly cleaner and brighter.
