Thank you for this great article it helps a lot. I have done a few murals and am trying to get into it more. I actually went and looked at a job last night and am working on a bid for them right now. The total square footage of the project is over 1300 and they dont want a real detailed mural but it is still a lot of area to paint . Its an apartment complex that is a warehouse style flat and they want some industrial scenes painted on the walls, when I say not detailed I mean realistic but stylized.
Your article is very helpful in the pricing and I appreciate the information about the insurance also.
Thanks again
Have a great day

Rania, thanks for the comment. To answer your question about Liability Insurance: Some companies may want the artist to provide it. Since we are a small business, we do not have liability insurance in place. I feel it’s important for the client to know this, that’s why I included reference to it n the list of things not included in the price (and not included at all).

that was very sweet of you to share, i need to understand more about the liabilty insurance, how do you seperate it from cost. isnt something that you pay yearly or is it by project?
my experience was all overseas, so that is new to me.
thank you Maria.

This is EXACTLY the info I was looking for. Before seeing this structure, I would have charged WAY too little for a job that seems simple but is sure to take me at least a week to complete.THANK YOU!
