RiverDIY / Home project calculators

How much do I need to buy?

Measure once, then let RiverDIY work out how much paint, tile, flooring, drywall, concrete, decking, wallpaper or mulch to buy, with sensible waste allowances. Add each result to one shopping list and print it for the store.

Shopping list

Everything for this project, in one list.

Nothing yet. Use "Add to shopping list" under any result.

    Safety

    Some jobs are not do-it-yourself jobs.

    Hire a licensed professional

    Electrical wiring, gas lines, load-bearing walls, roofs and anything that needs a permit where you live. Ask your local building office first.

    Check before you cut or drill

    Look for hidden pipes and cables, and test for asbestos or lead paint in older homes before sanding or demolition.

    Estimates, not guarantees

    Results are estimates for planning. Check the coverage printed on the product you buy, and keep receipts so you can return unopened extras.
