A wall seen at forty miles an hour needs different design decisions than a wall seen from six feet away — bigger shapes, higher contrast, fewer competing details. Long roadside walls get composed so they resolve at driving speed and still reward a closer look.
Stucco drinks paint. Block has a texture that swallows fine detail unless it's filled. Corrugated metal has ribbing you design around rather than fight. Brick needs the right primer or the color sinks. Getting the prep right is most of what makes an exterior mural last.
Prep, primer and base coat are quoted as separate line items so you can see what your particular wall requires.
Sun, salt air and afternoon storms are what kill exterior paint. Finished work gets a protective clear coat, and anti-graffiti coatings are available for street-facing and alley-facing walls so tagging can be cleaned off without damaging the artwork underneath.
I own my ladders and work from them wherever height allows, which keeps a rental line off your quote and shortens setup. Genuinely tall walls may need a lift, and if so that's quoted openly rather than buried.
Exterior and interior murals are priced per square foot, with prep, primer and protective coatings quoted as separate line items so you can see exactly what you're paying for. Interest-free payment plans are available, including 12-month terms on larger jobs. Full pricing is here.
