There's a difference between a decorated wall and a wall people stand in front of. The second one needs a focal point at standing height, a composition that reads in a vertical phone frame, and enough scale that it still works when there are four people posing against it. That's how I design restaurant work.
Tarpon Springs, the beaches and downtown St. Pete all run on tourist traffic. A geotagged photo from a visitor is worth more than most paid placements, and it costs you nothing after the wall is painted.
Painted signage and illustration together turn a plain building into a landmark people navigate by. I hand-letter business names into the artwork so the mural works as identification and decoration at the same time — useful on strip-mall units and buildings set back from the road.
Exterior work gets a protective clear coat, with anti-graffiti options, so Florida sun and salt air don't undo it.
I've painted around open kitchens, mid build-out contractors and busy seasons. Nights, mornings before open, and closed days are all normal. You will not be asked to close for a mural.
For a restaurant still in build-out, the ideal window is after drywall and paint but before fixtures go in — the wall is clear and I'm out of the trades' way.
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.
