You should only need one coat of high quality paint. But, new paint is not going to prevent the walls from marking up. Also, if you want to paint the ceilings, doors and trim, the price will go way up. Most newer houses seem to have the same paint on the walls and ceilings. You may want to consider an "eggshell" finish to make it easier to clean. Better than a flat finish.
