So how much is this going to cost?

Great question - and the honest answer is: it depends. Every mural I create is one-of-a-kind, so I price each project individually rather than by the hour or square foot. That way, you’re getting something thoughtfully designed and tailored specifically to your space.

When I build a quote, I’m primarily looking at:
– time
– size
– level of detail
– materials

There are also a few practical factors that can affect pricing, including but not limited to:
– ladder or scaffolding requirements
– the texture and condition of your walls
– specialty primers or protective clear coats
– how much needs to be taped off or protected (trim, furniture, etc.)
– exterior vs interior conditions
– travel time and distance
– limited or unusual access hours
– tight timelines or rush projects

As a general starting point, murals begin at a minimum of $15/square foot, with simpler, one-day projects beginning around $800.

Free Local Consultation

I offer free consultations within the GTA. For locations outside of that range, there’s a non-refundable trip fee, but I’ll always let you know that upfront.

Consultations are a key part of the process. Seeing your space in person helps me get a feel for your vision, spot any variables early on, and start shaping ideas that really fit. Most importantly, it gives us a chance to connect! I put a lot of care into each project, and that relationship matters when creating something meaningful for your space.

After we meet, everything else usually moves forward digitally. I’ll send over a detailed estimate, and from there we begin the design phase.

Sketches

Sketches are where your ideas start coming to life. I create digital mockups using a mix of hand-drawn elements and photography to help you clearly visualize the final mural.

Each project includes up to two rounds of revisions if needed. Non-refundable sketch fees start at $250 per wall/mural (depending on size and scope), and that cost goes toward your final total once we move ahead. If additional revisions are needed beyond the initial two, they’re $100 each and not applied to the final balance.

Commission Agreement

Once you’re happy with the final sketch, we’ll move forward with a commission agreement. This outlines all the details of the project so everything is clear and protected on both sides.

You’ll have the full, final cost in writing before painting begins, no surprises at the end.

A 50% deposit is required upon signing to secure your project dates and cover materials. The remaining 50% is due upon completion of the mural.
