Frequently asked questions

Does this estimate include labor costs?

No. NailIt estimates materials only—paint, primer, tools, and supplies. Since you're doing the work yourself, labor is free.

What size space does this estimate cover?

Our estimate covers a typical commercial space of 1,000–5,000 sq ft. For larger or smaller areas, adjust paint quantities based on coverage rates (usually 350–400 sq ft per gallon).

What type of paint should I use for commercial spaces?

Use commercial-grade acrylic latex or enamel paint rated for high-traffic interiors. Check coverage rates and dry time on the label. Primer is essential for bare drywall and stains.
