FAQs
What materials do you use?
All of my custom murals are painted with Behr latex wall paints. I am also happy to use Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore paints if the client prefers.
​
​
What will my mural cost?
I charge for mural design and installation services based on the size of the painted area. Clients will also be responsible for the cost of single use supplies including but not limited to paint, plastic drop cloths, tape, foam rollers, roller tray liners, and rags. Client is not responsible for the cost of brushes and other reusable tools. Client is also responsible for a travel fee for travel over 60 miles in one direction. If the project requires use of a boom or scissor lift, the client is also responsible for an equipment rental fee.
​
What do I need to provide as the client?
The client is responsible for providing the artist with use of a ladder, electricity, and water to mix with paint and to clean brushes. The artist will not damage any surface of client's sink while cleaning brushes.
​
​
Will you come and touch up my mural?
I offer a personal guarantee for the durability of your mural. If your mural requires a touch-up in the first 2 years after being installed, I am happy to come out and touch it up with no additional cost for labor. Touch-up booking is subject to availability, and may also be subject to travel fees.
​
​​​
How long will my mural take?
From the time of payment, the design process can take a couple of weeks. After the design for your mural is finalized, I will book a few days to come out and paint your mural by hand. Mural installation typically does not take more than a few days for interior residential projects. I also reserve the right to reschedule or delay exterior projects due to weather.
​
​
Will you come to paint a mural outside of California?
I am happy to travel anywhere to bring your wall painting dreams to life! Out-of-state murals are subject to travel fees.​
