Mural Pricing and Examples

I personally believe in facilitating creativity in unusual spaces. If you have a space you want to transform but worry about the funding, please e-mail me and I’m happy to work within your budget! It is much better to have a piece of artwork on your wall than have it blank and sad!

Regardless of price flexibility- All Murals have a minimum of $2000.

Final Vs. Mockup: “The Other World” Exterior Mural with Montana 94 Paints, $4500

Please look through the information below to get an estimate on pricing.

PRICING BREAKDOWN INTERIOR

• $20 per square foot ( 8’x12’ wall = $2,000)

  • This covers the mockup, consultation, time, rent for scaffolding, paint, etc.

  • For < 90 Sq Ft I can create a Large Scale Canvas piece, hung from grommets, for a similar rate! (Canvas height maxes out at 9 ft)

  • This is the MINIMUM price- A high detail design will increase the price.

• All prices include materials and equipment*

PRICING BREAKDOWN EXTERIOR

• $30/square ft for murals > 100 square feet

  • A 10’x20’ wall, 200 square feet = $7,000.

• Expense may rises due to weather, inconsistent wall textures (brick), etc. Price can be adjusted if the wall is properly prepped and primed prior to my arrival.

• Murals taller than 12 feet may require the use of a lift, this will increase the price.

• Asphalt Projects (below) are special- please contact me for info!

Payment Plans and Other Details to note:

Payment plans starting at $500/month

INCLUSIONS

1. Materials: Paint (standard house paint, artist grade acrylic, or Montana 94 if exterior), paint brushes, rollers, rags, everything you can think of that would go toward painting the actual mural.

2. Equipment: Ladders and scaffolding.

3. $1000 Security Deposit: This deposit goes toward your final amount and is basically insurance for my time working on the design and buying paint.

4. Design Changes: The final price includes 2 sets of design changes by the client (additional sketches will be $150/sketch.) I do not start a mural until the design is completely approved.

5. Standard Design: Please see my portfolio for my typical style and design aesthetics. This is what I consider “standard” as it is not overly complicated and extra painterly (which is an option, see Extras section).

6. Local Travel: This includes travel within the Hudson Valley and NYC boroughs.

EXTRAS

1. Special Materials: If you want a specific type of paint or something that is not standard, such as chalkboard paint, glow-in-the-dark paint, I will pass that price on to you at market price.

2. *Large Equipment: For massive exterior walls that require a scissor lift, I will pass 50% of the lift rental fee onto you. In exchange, I will make anything that needs the lift a priority so we don’t need to use it for more than a day or two.

3. Compromised Wall: If the wall is damaged before I arrive (crumbling brick, mainly), there will be an extra fee both for extra time (since it takes a longer time to paint on really poor textures).

4. Overly Complicated Painting: Some clients would like their mural to look very painterly with added technique and attention (more complicated than a color + shadow + line). I am very happy to do this, but this requires more painting time. The extra pricing can vary, but definitely won’t exceed $50/square feet.

5. Excessive Travel: If this is outside the Tri-state New York area, (more than one hour driving distance from either Queens or Kingston), I will track and add on my mileage x $0.575, which is standard. If it’s out of state and required hotel stay, I will pass along the hotel fees to you.
