SugaRay's Mural Process, Preparation and Pricing

1.   Initial ContactUsually this will be via a phone conversation or an e-mail. You will  probably have some ideas about the  theme of your mural, and you can  explain where you would like your mural  to be.  2.  First Meeting and ConsultationAt your convenience, we will schedule a first  meeting where we will discuss the process  of painting a mural. If you need my help with choosing a theme,  I will be glad to bring my portfolio and  reference materials for you to see.3.  Second AppointmentFor the second appointment I will  produce two sketches per our previous  discussions free of charge.  An estimate  can also be prepared at the same time. If we reach an agreement, I will survey  the room where you would like the mural  to be and make any recommendations  for wall preparations, if needed. At this point, we can set up a date for the  work to begin. A deposit of 25% of the total proposed  cost is required to be paid at the second  meeting. A contract will be signed prior  to beginning of work. The remaining 75% is payable upon  completion.4.  PaintingPrior to painting, I will use drop cloths and  painting tape to protect your floors and  furniture. I will create a “free hand” drawing of the  design on the wall and continue with my  paints.  You can watch  your mural “being  born”! Depending on the size and intricacy of your  mural, it can take me from 1 to 3 days to  complete. Your mural will be protected with a varnish  coat upon completion protecting it from  fading and scratches. I use high quality pants (acrylics) and other  materials in creating my work. There is a  short paint drying period and there is no  odor from paints that can be harmful to  children and adults. PRICINGPricing for murals varies. There are  $20.00 and $25.00 per square foot. The price of you mural will be determined by intricacy of the design. Here is a calculation to help you to arrive at an estimate for your design:Multiply the length and height of the wall to be painted, which will give you square footage. Then multiply the  square footage times the coast per square foot.Please keep in mind that is a preliminary estimate of your mural.  For large murals the price can be negotiated. I can provide more images of my murals per your request.
