​

​

​
*Additional work due to adverse conditions on surface that requires extraneous labor will be charged extra, by the hour, at a rate of $150.00 / hour, and sometimes cannot be determined until after the job has begun.
​
PAYMENT TERMS: Design fee of $500 due prior to sketch process.
A 50% non-refundable deposit is due two weeks prior to start date of painting (this allows ordering of supplies and scheduling.) Full balance is due on the final day of completion.
Sketch & Deposit
ONCE THE SKETCH PROCESS IS COMPLETE
the client is ready to move forward, we ask for the deposit and we schedule the dates that the painting will take place.
​
This is very Important! We require 50% of the total amount 2 weeks prior to the scheduled start date. This allows us to block out 1 -2 weeks on the calendar (thus not accepting other projects for those days) and to purchase the necessary materials prior to the painting.
Proposal Process
​
1.)Email Artist for Pricing sheet above. This is so that the client knows our general pricing and they can determine if it’s in their price range.
​
2.) Through email, in person or video chat gather details about the mural such as: Height and Width of the proposed mural, physical location, the shape that the wall is in, and what design they want.
​
3.) Based on the information provided above, then I’ll write up and e-mail a written proposal.
​
Throughout the process I will verbally clarify, up front, how we work (meaning our payment policies).
"We will begin the sketch process once you pay your $500 fee. The fee includes up to 3 sketches, so please be as specific as you can about what you want. A 50% deposit is due 2 weeks before the painting begins. The mural will take approximately 1 - 2 weeks (or however many). We plan to work from 9-5 daily. (If Weather Permits it, if not times will be arranged around weather) Your final payment is due on the day it’s finished.”
​
​
Why a Non Refundable Sketch Fee ?
Every mural we do is designed on paper first. We offer the client the ability to pay just for the sketches first, because sometimes a client isn’t sure if we can do what it is that they specifically want.
​
If they you don't like the design or the client decides not to use the services after all, they only lose $500.00 and you are at least paid for your time to sketch it for them. We don’t sketch out anything without the design fee because it’s a lot of work. Just meeting with the client to discuss specifics can take a couple hours.
New Client Sketch Waver !
If it seems like it’ll be a less complicated design, sometimes I’ll offer to deduct their $500 sketch fee from the total of the mural price. Basically I’m waiving the sketch fee, but I will require 50%prior to the sketch process versus after the sketch is completed
​
Fee might lower per-square-foot if the mural is going to be very simple and easy, say, like a basic design.
