PAYMENT TERMS: Design fee of $500 due prior to sketch process.
A 50% non-refundable deposit is due two weeks prior to start date of painting (this allows ordering of supplies and scheduling.) Full balance is due on the final day of completion.
Sketch & Deposit
ONCE THE SKETCH PROCESS IS COMPLETE
the client is ready to move forward, we ask for the deposit and we schedule the dates that the painting will take place.
This is very Important! We require 50% of the total amount 2 weeks prior to the scheduled start date. This allows us to block out 1 -2 weeks on the calendar (thus not accepting other projects for those days) and to purchase the necessary materials prior to the painting.
Proposal Process
1.)Email Artist for Pricing sheet above. This is so that the client knows our general pricing and they can determine if it’s in their price range.
2.) Through email, in person or video chat gather details about the mural such as: Height and Width of the proposed mural, physical location, the shape that the wall is in, and what design they want.
3.) Based on the information provided above, then I’ll write up and e-mail a written proposal.
Throughout the process I will verbally clarify, up front, how we work (meaning our payment policies).
"We will begin the sketch process once you pay your $500 fee. The fee includes up to 3 sketches, so please be as specific as you can about what you want. A 50% deposit is due 2 weeks before the painting begins. The mural will take approximately 1 - 2 weeks (or however many). We plan to work from 9-5 daily. (If Weather Permits it, if not times will be arranged around weather) Your final payment is due on the day it’s finished.”
Why a Non Refundable Sketch Fee ?
Every mural we do is designed on paper first. We offer the client the ability to pay just for the sketches first, because sometimes a client isn’t sure if we can do what it is that they specifically want.
If they you don't like the design or the client decides not to use the services after all, they only lose $500.00 and you are at least paid for your time to sketch it for them. We don’t sketch out anything without the design fee because it’s a lot of work. Just meeting with the client to discuss specifics can take a couple hours.
New Client Sketch Waver !
If it seems like it’ll be a less complicated design, sometimes I’ll offer to deduct their $500 sketch fee from the total of the mural price. Basically I’m waiving the sketch fee, but I will require 50%prior to the sketch process versus after the sketch is completed
Fee might lower per-square-foot if the mural is going to be very simple and easy, say, like a basic design.
