Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does a mural cost?
    The cost of each project depends on several factors such as surface, area, site location, travel distance, detail and materials used. We look to see if a surface is smooth or highly textured, as this will affect time and materials used for coverage. We provide free estimates, and can share our past projects to better illustrate our pricing for your project. We are able to work within your budget and will provide several concept designs for it.
  • Where are you located? Where do you travel with your services?
    We are proudly based in Highlands, NJ. Our immediate area is 30 miles out from Highlands, but we cover areas of NYC as well. If you are interested in working with us and are located farther than our immediate area, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are happy to travel out of state and beyond for amazing projects.
  • How long does it take to complete a project?
    Project times vary based on scale, location and mother nature if located outside. Typically the average turnaround time is between one and two weeks. We are able to accommodate and work around your schedule which would also affect scheduled execution.
  • Are you insured?
    Yes we are. We are professional on location, and supply all materials and take all precautions when we are working on site. We also will social distance, and use safety precautions with covid-19 to protect you.
  • What kind of paint/materials do you use?
    We use the highest quality interior and exterior latex paints. All paint, including varnish is water based, and highest durability.
  • What if I currently rent, or possibly might be moving in near future?"
    We create high quality pieces that can move with you. We can construct and paint on panels that can be disassemble and assembled to adapt to any new space and location. We also provide murals on canvas, signs, as well as fabricated pieces. We even can paint on furniture.
  • How do I take care of my artwork once completed?
    We apply several coats of protective varnish on all finished paintings. We provide care sheets for each individual project (cleaning and care). We offer to help with follow up maintenance if needed. We also will repair and refresh in the event that damage occurs.
  • I can't decide if I want wallpaper or a mural. What are the benefits of a mural?
    A mural is a one of a kind piece specially designed for you and a space. When designing a mural we think about scale and existing architecture to create a perfect balance. A good wallpaper is really expensive and difficult to find the perfect color, scale, pattern or theme you are looking for. If you do find a paper you like, then you have the cost or headache of installing- or worse , taking it down. Wallpaper when installed incorrectly can peel, bubble, or even hide mold. Murals are popular because they work with a solution for a space and are easy to maintain. Also you will be a proud owner of an original piece of art!
