Question 1

How much does a custom mural cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is custom-tailored to each project and varies based on the total square footage of the wall, the complexity and detail of the design, and the location (interior vs. exterior). After our initial on-site consultation and measurements, we will provide you with a personalized, itemized quote.

Question 2

Will you paint licensed characters (like Disney, Marvel, or Bluey) for my nursery?

Accepted Answer

Due to copyright and trademark laws, we cannot legally reproduce licensed characters. However, we love creating custom, original designs inspired by the feeling or theme of your favorite stories! Whether that means a whimsical storybook woodland, a magical castle landscape, or a specific color palette that nods to your favorite superhero, we can capture the aesthetic you are dreaming of without infringing on copyrights.

Question 3

How long does the mural process take?

Accepted Answer

The timeline depends heavily on the scope of the artwork. From your initial contact to the final design approval, the planning phase typically takes a few weeks. Once we arrive on-site, the actual painting phase can take anywhere from a single day for a simple interior accent wall to between one and four weeks for a massive exterior installation.

Question 4

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We are based in the Washington D.C. area, so there are no travel fees for local projects. However, we are also available to travel worldwide! For projects outside of our local area, travel expenses and logistics are calculated on a case-by-case basis.

Question 5

Do I need to have a finalized design in mind before reaching out?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! Whether you have a highly curated Pinterest board or just a vague idea of the "vibe" you want to create, we are here to help. We collaborate closely with you during the design and presentation phase to brainstorm ideas and bring your vision to life.

Question 6

Do I need to prepare my walls before you arrive?

Accepted Answer

For most interior residential projects, we simply ask that the area is cleared of furniture. If your interior wall needs minor patching or a base coat of primer, we can discuss adding that to the project scope during our consultation. For large-scale exterior projects, the surface must be aggressively cleaned to remove dirt and debris, and we use specialized, heavy-duty masonry primers to ensure the wall is fully prepped before painting begins.

Question 7

What kind of paint do you use?

Accepted Answer

For interior nurseries and residential spaces, we use high-quality, low-VOC or zero-VOC paints to ensure the air remains safe and free of harsh fumes for your family. For exterior murals, professional we exclusively use high-grade, 100% acrylic exterior paints and aerosols. Once the exterior mural is complete, it is sealed with a UV-resistant, clear isolation coat to prevent sun bleaching.

Question 8

How do you protect exterior murals from vandalism or weather damage?

Accepted Answer

In addition to using weather-resistant paints and UV clear coats, an additional "sacrificial" anti-graffiti coating is applied in urban environments. This ensures that if tagging does occur, it can be power-washed off without damaging the underlying artwork.

Question 9

Do you require a deposit to book a project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once we finalize the project scope and you are ready to move forward, we require a deposit to secure your installation dates on our calendar and officially begin the custom design phase. The remaining balance is typically due upon the final completion of the artwork.

Question 10

I rent my home or commercial space. Can I still get a mural?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! If your lease doesn't allow for painting directly on the walls, we can paint your custom design on large-scale canvases or custom-built wood panels. This gives you the full impact of a breathtaking mural with the added flexibility of being able to take the artwork with you if you ever move!

Question 11

Can you paint on textured walls like brick or stucco?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can! While a smooth surface allows for the crispest details, we are highly experienced in adapting our painting techniques for brick, stucco, cinderblock, and lightly textured drywall. During our on-site consultation, we will evaluate your wall's specific texture and discuss how it might interact with your desired design.

Question 12

Will I get to see what the mural looks like before you start painting?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Your satisfaction is our top priority! Our design and presentation phase includes 2 built-in revision rounds. After our initial meeting, we will create a digital mockup or sketch of the artwork superimposed onto a photo of your wall. We welcome your feedback and will make adjustments to ensure the design perfectly matches your vision before a single drop of paint touches the surface.

Question 13

Will painting a mural disrupt my business operations?

Accepted Answer

We understand that keeping your business running smoothly is a top priority! For commercial projects, we are happy to coordinate a painting schedule that minimizes disruption. While our standard installations take place during regular business hours, we can also accommodate evening or weekend schedules for an additional after-hours fee to ensure the process is as seamless as possible for your team and customers.

Question 14

Can you match my company's brand colors or the existing paint in my room?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We understand how important a cohesive design is to your overall aesthetic. We can color-match specific Pantone or hex codes to ensure your commercial mural perfectly aligns with your brand identity. For residential projects, we can coordinate our palette with your existing room colors, furniture, and decor so the mural feels like a natural extension of the space.

Question 15

Are you insured for large commercial and exterior projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are fully licensed and insured. We carry comprehensive liability insurance that covers both residential and commercial projects. This gives our clients complete peace of mind, whether we are quietly painting an interior nursery or operating heavy mechanical lifts for a multi-story exterior facade.
