- Material Cost: The material cost is calculated by multiplying the area by the price per square foot, adjusted by the coat thickness. This converts the coat thickness from inches to feet by dividing by 12.
- Labor Cost: The labor cost is calculated by multiplying the hourly labor cost by the required hours to complete the job.
- Total Cost: The total cost is the sum of material cost and labor cost.
Limitations
