Mural pricing · planning ranges
Every wall is custom. The quote should be too.
Samuel Hale Art uses starting ranges to help clients understand scale before a full site-specific quote is prepared. Murals are not priced from square footage alone. Wall condition, height, access, lift or scaffolding needs, surface preparation, portrait and detail level, number of colors, travel, overnight stays, special coatings, design revisions, schedule, and weather exposure can all change the final price.
Simple / limited-color mural
$20–$25 per sq. ft. starting estimateUseful for larger graphic designs with a limited palette and simpler shapes. The final quote can change based on access, prep, travel, and site conditions.
Standard custom mural
$25–$35 per sq. ft. starting estimateTypical custom mural work with moderate detail, multiple colors, and a project-specific composition.
Detailed portrait / historical work
$35–$50+ per sq. ft. planning rangeHighly detailed portraiture, historical scenes, and complex compositions require additional design and painting time.
Travel, lifts, repairs & specialty preparation
Custom quoteEquipment rental, overnight travel, difficult access, repairs, extensive wall preparation, coatings, and unusual site requirements are priced separately when needed.
These ranges are planning information, not an automatic offer or final contract price. The studio confirms the actual scope, wall, location, schedule, legal/compliance requirements, and approved design before a binding project amount is established.
