Common quoting problems in mural work
- Inquiries come without wall sizes. You can't price a mural without dimensions, and getting them can take a week of messages.
- Design work before a deposit. Sketches sent before anything is signed can be used without you, and the hours are lost.
- Wall prep is easy to underestimate. Brick, stucco or peeling paint can add days of prep that weren't in the price.
- Scope grows during the project. Extra elements and revision rounds agreed in passing are hard to bill later.
What your mural quote form asks
Murals are usually priced by size, detail and the wall itself. The form asks the dimensions, detail level and surface condition. It also asks the height, which decides ladders or a lift, and who the mural is for, since business work may need approvals. Wall photos help most.
Your form has its own page at your-name.quotefalcon.com. Clients can fill it in at any time, including evenings and weekends, and you get an email for each request. Share the link by text, on your Google Business Profile or social pages, or add the form to your website.

What changes the price of a mural job
The factors that most often change the price, and the reason the form asks about them.
- Size
- Many muralists price per square foot. Canadian guides often mention roughly $15 to $55 per square foot depending on detail and region.
- Level of detail
- Colour blocks and lettering paint much faster than realistic portraits. A detailed wall can take weeks where a simple one takes days.
- Surface and prep
- Brick, block and stucco need different primers, and exterior walls may need washing, patching and sealing. Prep is often the most underestimated line.
- Height and equipment
- Work above ladder height needs scaffolding or a lift, which adds rental cost and setup time.
- Design and revisions
- Many artists charge a design fee or include a set number of revision rounds, with extra rounds billed.
- Materials and protection
- Exterior-grade paint, anti-graffiti or UV clear coats and drop cloths add material cost, especially on large walls.

Deposits and payment terms for mural jobs
Muralists commonly ask for 25% to 50% before starting, and larger projects are often split into stages, such as a deposit, a payment when the design is approved and the rest on completion. Getting the deposit before design work starts protects your sketches and your time. Written terms on revisions, usage rights and wall conditions help too.

Common questions
How much should I charge for a mural?
Many muralists price per square foot, then adjust for detail, surface, height and travel. Canadian guides give ranges around $15 to $55 per square foot, with realistic or very detailed work higher. Some artists add a separate design fee. Price your time honestly, including prep, travel and revisions.
How much is a full wall mural?
It depends on the size and detail. A 100 square foot accent wall at $20 per square foot is about $2,000 before design and materials, and an exterior wall several times that size scales up. Access equipment and wall prep can add more. Your form collects the size and surface so you can quote accurately.
How much deposit should a mural artist take?
Between 25% and 50% is common before work starts, and larger projects often use stages. In Quote Falcon you can set a percentage or 2 to 6 payment stages, such as deposit, design approval and completion. The client pays the first stage by card when they sign.
Can clients send photos of the wall?
Yes, up to 10 photos per request. Ask for straight-on shots of the wall, close-ups of the surface and photos of anything in the way. Your form also asks for the size, surface and height, so you can plan prep and equipment before the site visit.
What if the client wants changes to the design?
They click Ask for a change on their quote page. You update the quote, and a higher price only counts once they sign the new version. Each version and signature is saved on the job's Proof of agreement page, so extra revision rounds are on record.
Can I use it for canvas paintings and portraits?
Yes. The starter form lets clients choose an interior or exterior mural, a painted sign, a painting on canvas or a portrait, and the wall questions have a Not a wall answer. For a canvas, quote the size, any design fee and shipping or framing as separate lines.
