Q:
How do I go about getting a free estimate?
A:
Just
Muralworks
or email us at 
Let
us know what kind of project you're thinking of doing, the
size of the space to be painted, and as many details as you
believe necessary to explain the idea. It
may be necessary for us to contact you for more information
and / or meet.
Q:
How does the production process go?
A:
For murals and custom projects: Depending on your needs, Muralworks
can either take an existing idea and produce the final artwork
or we can first develop concept sketches to review, then fine-tune
and develop the final image to be painted.
For
faux finishes: We can run with a decided finish, provide sample
boards, or show you our portfolio of finish samples. After
finding the right finish and colors we proceed to wow the
walls.
Q:
What is Muralworks' pricing policy?
A:
Price is determined by the project and depends on the size
of the work and the amount of detail.
Q:
How long does it generally take to paint a mural, portrait,
or commissioned painting?
A:
The time involved depends on the project. Most murals for the
home and kids rooms take between 2-12 days. For example, the
civil
war mural took 2 artists 2 days to finish, the
Pontifical
College Josephinum chapel
restoration took a crew of 5 artists 3 months to
complete, and the greek
landscape alcove took 1 artist 3 days.
Q:
How long will a mural last?
A:
Depending on the type of paint used, most indoor murals will
last as long as the walls they are painted on provided that
the mural doesn't get too much exposure to direct sunlight,
which can cause colors to fade. Outdoor murals generally last
10 to 20 years or more. We also offer a protective, clear
top finish to help protect the murals.
Q:
Are you insured?
A:
Yes.
Q:
What is trompe l'oeil?
A:
It's a type of mural that creates an illusory effect of reality
produced by shading, perspective and composition, giving the
illusion that the viewer can "walk into" the space
that the mural portrays.
Q:
Can you prepare the surface to be painted?
A:
Yes, we can spackle, sand, and prime the surface before painting
if needed.
Q:
Do you strip wallpaper?
A:
No, sorry.
