Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about calculating construction materials.
How much gravel do I need per square foot?+
At 2 inches deep, 1 ton of gravel covers approximately 100 square feet. At 4 inches deep, 1 ton covers about 50 sq ft. Use the Gravel Calculator to get an exact estimate based on your area dimensions and desired depth.
How many cubic yards of concrete do I need?+
Use the formula: Length ร— Width ร— (Thickness in inches รท 12) รท 27. For a 20ร—20 ft slab at 4 inches thick: 20 ร— 20 ร— (4รท12) รท 27 = 4.9 cubic yards. Always order 10% extra for waste. Use the Concrete Calculator for an instant result.
How many gallons of paint do I need for a room?+
A standard 12ร—12 ft room with 9 ft ceilings needs approximately 2 gallons for 2 coats (walls only). One gallon covers about 400 sq ft. Use the Paint Calculator for an exact estimate that accounts for your doors and windows.
How many bags of grout do I need for a tile floor?+
For 12ร—12" tiles with 3/16" joints, a 10 lb bag of sanded grout covers approximately 60โ€“80 sq ft. Smaller tiles or wider joints use significantly more grout. Use the Grout Calculator to get an exact bag count based on your tile size, joint width, and area โ€” it also gives you a cost estimate by location.
How much insulation do I need for my attic?+
Measure your attic's length ร— width to get square footage. The DOE recommends R-49 to R-60 for most US attics. With blown-in cellulose at R-3.5/inch, you'd need about 14 inches of insulation to reach R-49. Use the Insulation Calculator for a full cost estimate.
How many pallets of sod do I need?+
A standard pallet of sod covers 450 sq ft. Divide your lawn area by 450 and round up to get the number of pallets. For a 2,000 sq ft lawn: 2,000 รท 450 = 4.4 โ†’ order 5 pallets. Use the Sod Calculator for an instant estimate with 5% waste included.
