The paint itself is a small share: 14 gallons for a two-story repaint runs $420 to $1,478 at posted dealer prices.

Take a two-story house on a 40 by 27 foot footprint. The perimeter is 134 feet. At two 9 foot stories that is 2,412 square feet of wall, or about 2,050 after doors and windows.<\/p>\n<p>Two coats means 4,100 square feet of coverage. At 300 square feet per gallon that is 13.7 gallons, so buy 14. Regal Select runs $65.59 to $69.21 a gallon, so the paint is $918 to $969. At Davis Paint&#8217;s $29.99 it is $420, and at Aura&#8217;s $96.88 to $105.56 it is $1,356 to $1,478. Against Paint Medics&#8217; $3,000 to $6,000, paint is 7 to 49 percent of the job.<\/p>\n<h2>How to price a house repaint<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"pm__steps\">\n<li>\n<h3>Measure the walls<\/h3>\n<p>Perimeter times wall height times stories, minus doors and windows.
