How we work

Faux finishes and custom murals have so many variables that they are impossible to give an exact quote for in advance of seeing the job. Please keep in mind that this is not simply rolling or spraying a coat of color onto your walls…this is a trained artist up close and personal with every inch of space she’s painting.
Respect and protection for your space: We understand the value of your property and that no work will be appreciated if your home or office is damaged. Glaze has a tendency to drip and spatter more than house paint. We take above average care in taping off and draping every thing that should not get paint on it. This includes covering any flooring between the work area and the entrance. We sweep up after ourselves and wipe down any surrounding surfaces (like countertops). Trash is taken away with us. Brushes are cleaned off site.
All work is finished with a coating of 100% acrylic varnish (wax is used on Venetian plaster). We use the best professional glaze available and high quality paints. They will last as long as you want them to and then they will be simple to change.
There is a wide range of pricing in the marketplace for faux finishing and murals. We pride ourselves on providing superior quality work done as efficiently as possible without sacrificing perfection. Great faux finishing is all about the details. Edges and corners of walls require extra effort to create a consistent look – we take the time.
The process:
1. Speak on the phone to get a general idea of your project. Budget, time frame, look you might be thinking of…

2. In person one hour design consultation: There is a $50.00 fee which will be subtracted from the price of the job should you desire to hire us. – We will discuss your goals, colors etc… We will show you sample boards that we have in our collection. If you are commissioning a mural please have photographs or other reference materials for what you want painted (if possible). If you require more time for design consultation we will be happy to provide it at a rate of $50.00 per hour.

3. Estimate and Contract: Soon after the consultation we will provide you with a detailed estimate and contract. A 50% non refundable deposit is due when the contract is approved in order to start working on samples or sketches. This deposit will hold a space for you on our calendar. The estimate will be good for one year.

4. Sample boards and Sketches: Up to two sample boards or sketches will be created if necessary. (Some clients choose finishes already in our collection). Designs, sketches and samples remain the property of the artist unless otherwise arranged.

5. Work begins on your scheduled date: All obstacles must be removed from the area we will be working in. If they can not be removed the square footage price will go up. (It takes much longer to work around things).

6. Any additions to the project by the customer after the original contract will require an amendment to the contract and additional fees.

7. Completion of the job: We will give our best estimate for how long the job will take. It often might take us a bit longer for us to satisfy our demanding standards. You will not be charged extra for this. We are not happy until you are.

8. Final payment is due on the day the job is finished.
