Calculator results are estimates, not guarantees
Our project calculators (paint, tile, concrete, lighting, AC sizing, and others) produce estimates based on standard assumptions and typical conditions. Actual material needs vary with product, technique, surface condition, and waste. Results are not guaranteed to be accurate for your specific project. Always verify quantities with a second source or a qualified professional before purchasing materials or starting work.

Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the site owner and author shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — the site, its content, or its calculators, including damages from projects attempted based on our guides.
