How we calculate: Walls = estimated perimeter × height × 1.15 (partitions) minus openings (about 48 ft² per room). Gallons = ft² × coats ÷ coverage. Patching on 30% of the area; skim coat on all of it if the walls are poor. Duration at about 970 ft² per coat per day. Quantities are converted to metric internally, so 1,000 ft² = 92.9 m². An indicative estimate, not a firm quote. Prices vary by area, the condition of the home, access and the contractor.
