Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure square footage of a room?

For a rectangle, measure length and width in feet, then multiply. For irregular shapes, divide into rectangles, calculate each, and add them together.

How much flooring should I buy?

Add 10-15% extra for waste, cuts, and future repairs. For tiles, add 15-20% since breakage is common. Round up to full boxes.

How much paint do I need?

One gallon covers ~350 sq ft. For walls, multiply room perimeter by height, subtract doors/windows. Most rooms need 2 coats.

What's the difference between square feet and cubic feet?

Square feet measure area (2D surface). Cubic feet measure volume (3D space). For volume, multiply area by height.

How many square feet in a typical house?

US average: ~2,000 sq ft. Small house: 1,000-1,500 sq ft. Large house: 3,000-5,000+ sq ft. Apartments: 600-1,200 sq ft.
