- Final design confirmation
At this time, we will review the mural design concept again and when a decision is made on your design, we will create the final visual image/s either as a sketch on paper, a digital rendering or collage, or a pen and ink drawing, for your confirmation of the design.
- Scheduling of the project
After design confirmation and receipt of deposit we will schedule the date and time for your project. Smaller designs take few hours to 1 day to paint, more complex and larger designs could take anywhere between 2-3 days to paint.

Our murals pricing is based on project factors such as:
- location and size of the mural
- cost of materials
- layers of the design
- working conditions (space accessibility and existing wall condition)
Before your child’s wall mural painting begins it will be assumed that there is a top coat of paint on the sound wall ready for mural application and a cleared work space.
What is a wall preparation? A good wall preparation is essential for any painting work and a good finish of it. Painting a mural on a well-prepared surface will not only make your child’s mural look superb but will also last a lot longer. Painting preparation may include filling holes in walls and applying a suitable primer or top/base coat on the wall.
Any preparation painting, wall patching, or wall preparation will require additional hours of work and materials therefore additional cost.
