How much wall does a quart of paint cover?
I’m going to surprise my son soon by letting him paint his own room! He’s been wanting to do this for ages. The only thing is that I don’t know how much paint I’d need to get for him. How much wall does a quart of paint cover?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
I bet your son will be absolutely thrilled. How much wall a quart of paint covers might vary somewhat depending on the paint’s thickness and the surface it’s being applied to, but it’s generally pretty safe to assume that a quart of paint can cover about 100 square feet.
So, you’ll probably want to add up how many square feet your walls cover to determine how much paint you’ll need.
You might also want to consider whether you’ll need to apply more than one coat, and it’s also a good idea to plan to have extra left over in case you need to make any touch-ups to damaged paint as time goes on—especially in a kid’s room!
Best of luck with this project! While you’re at it, you’ll probably want to make sure your son’s artistic efforts are protected, meaning it might also be worth asking how much your current
homeowners insurance
covers. If you’re wondering whether better coverage at a better rate is out there, the Jerry
app can help you find out in record time.It only takes about 45 seconds to get started, and our friendly, experienced team of agents can help you make a seamless transition to your new policy!
