1.  How Much Does it Cost?
Cost depends on many factors the number of paintings, size of painting, detail, travel costs, and many other factors. See our "
price sheet" page for examples of our work within different price ranges.  We would be pleased to discuss your individual needs.

2.  How long does it take from start to finish?
The painting process can take anywhere from two days to a month or longer depending on the details and difficulty factors. On the average most of my mural jobs have lasted from one to two weeks.

3.  Do you charge a consulting fee or charge for estimates?
Yes there is a $50.00 non refundable consultation fee.  If you decide to have the mural painted an additional fee of $50.00 will be require. The $100.00 dollars collected will then go towards drawings, research, materials, and will save you a spot on my calendar. This fee is non refundable and is considered spent on perpetrations prior to painting

4. Prior to mural painting what type of preparation is required?

 The area in front of wall to be painted must be completely free of furniture wall hangings and window treatments. If items are not permanently attached I request that they be removed to prevent any unnecessary accidents. I normally need about five to six feet of clearance in order to be able to step back away from wall during the painting process. If by chance scaffolding is needed large furnishings may need to be removed from the room.

5.  Will the paintings last?
Most of my mural paintings are high quality acrylic paints that are permanent once the paint has cured, and the life and longevity of the mural in normal living conditions is quite high. You can expect your mural to last a considerable number of years

6.  What surfaces can you paint on?
We can paint on just about any surface... brick, cloth, cement, tile, and glass to name just a few.
 

7.  What if the mural is damaged?

I work very close with you up front.  I will help you understand exactly what the finished murals will look like.  I will submit sketches for your edit and/or approval.  Once approved, a firm price will be quoted.  This way you will know exactly what the end results will look like and what it will cost.  All this before you even accept a bid - no obligation - no surprises!
