Preliminary planning figure

This is planning guidance, not a quote.
What the calculator does—and does not—include
Standard wall planning starts around $3.50 per square foot of floor area at an 8-foot ceiling height, with an additional $0.50 per square foot for each extra foot of ceiling height. A third wall coat adds approximately $0.75 per square foot. Small wall projects have a $650 minimum.
Standard ceiling planning starts around $2 per square foot, or around $3 per square foot for a three-coat system, with a $1,000 ceiling-project minimum. When both surfaces are selected, the tool combines the separate planning figures.
Repairs, primer, popcorn removal, skim coating, trim, doors, colour changes, challenging access, furniture, specialty products and actual site conditions can change the final price. Popcorn removal and flat-ceiling conversion require a separate assessment and written quote. Your written project estimate defines the actual scope and price.
