How do you ensure the mural's longevity
The main enemies of a mural are sunlight and moisture. North and East facing walls will last longer than West and South facing. Murals should not be painted on retaining walls that have earth behind them. Avoid areas where there are sprinklers or standing water. We paint with 2 coats of acrylic gesso or water based primer
How will the mural impact the overall value and perception of my property?
A well-executed mural can significantly enhance the aesthetic and curb appeal of a building, potentially increasing its market value and public image. It can attract more visitors, tenants and community engagement. Murals often become landmarks, adding cultural and artistic value to the neighborhood, which can be a strong selling point.
