Cost breakdown
· Labor and Material Costs: professional artists typically charge between $50-$70 per hour to paint murals on site. Labor and material costs are typically wrapped into total costs and put forward as a cost per square foot for the mural itself. An average artist takes 4 hours per 20 sq.ft. of low intricacy mural.
o $10 per sq.ft. (low intricacy)
o $15 per sq.ft. (medium intricacy)
o $20 per sq.ft. (high intricacy)
· Sketching fee: most artists charge a sketching fee to formulate an artistic vision and sketch of your desired mural. Expected cost: $600-$1,500 flat rate.
· Variations:
o Size: most artists request a minimum of 100-160 sq.ft. mural to get started. The larger the size of the mural, the greater discount your artist will provide in your cost per sq.ft.
§ A small 160 sq.ft. low intricacy mural will take around 32 hours and will cost $1,120-$1,600.
§ A 200 sq.ft. low intricacy mural will take 40 hours and will cost $1,400-$2,000.
§ A 400 sq.ft. low intricacy mural will take 80 hours and will cost $2,800-$4,000.
o Intricacy: adding colors, design elements, and features to a design increases the design’s intricacy. Each artist has their own threshold for intricacy but you can expect to see price increases as follows:
§ Mid range intricacy: it doubles or triples the price.
§ 160 sq.ft. mid range intricacy mural will take around 64-96 hours and will cost $2,240-$4,800.
§ A 200 sq.ft. mid range intricacy mural will take 80-120 hours and will cost $2,800-$6,400.
§ A 400 sq.ft. mid range intricacy mural will take 80 hours and will cost $2,800-$4,000.
§ High intricacy: it typically increases the price five-fold. Work hours are normally split between artists. Even very intricate designs should take less than 1-2 weeks to paint.
§ A small 160 sq.ft. high intricacy mural will take around 160 hours and will cost $5,600-$8,000.
§ A 200 sq.ft. high intricacy mural will take 200 hours and will cost $7,000-$10,000.
§ A 400 sq. ft. high intricacy mural will take 400 hours and will cost $14,000 - $20,000.
· Work done that requires a ladder including ceiling work, will increase the cost. Expect at least an extra $2-$4 per sq.ft.
· Any base work that needs to be done will be charged separately, including the base color paint, hole filling, spackle 1 or furniture moving. This is often a line item, and can be avoided by preparing the area for the artist before hand. This is typically charged between $100-$200 or more depending on how much work is needed to prepare for the work.
· A mural can be added to any prepared wall surface although work done outside may take longer and cost more due to weather concerns.
