Interior surfaces
Measure the room, not the wall
Paint, flooring and tile all get bought by total area with an allowance on top, and the allowance is where people come up short. Doorways, closets and cuts add up faster than the walls do.
How this is worked out
No hidden fudge factor. This is the whole calculation.
- Pick a job, which sets the low and high end of the typical range.
- Your home size multiplies that per-sq ft range to give the spread you see.
- Both ends are typical Triangle installed costs gathered from published industry ranges. They are not quotes, and no number here comes from our own bookings.
