Pricing your Mural:
Estimates are complimentary.
To provide an accurate estimate, it would be beneficial to have specific design elements in mind. You can gather inspiration from photos, magazine clippings or Pinterest boards that depict the desired feel or color scheme. Alternatively, a detailed description of the subject matter would also be helpful. In case you are unsure of the subject matter, but have a particular emotion or feeling in mind, the design process may take longer. You can also browse through our gallery art using the provided link for additional ideas.
After measuring the area, Carol Lynn will assess if any prep work is required. This could involve utilizing a particular prep medium or surface painting. The estimated cost may include prep work, or you have the option to complete the prep work based on Carol Lynn's recommendation.
