About our Company:
Creative Art Design was established 15 years ago on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. There, we began to build what we
hoped to be a successful and versatile mural business. We moved the business to Southern Ca. in 1998 and have
flourished in this area ever since. The essence of our work is versatility. We strive to accommodate the needs of all our clients.
Whether they are looking to have an elaborate tropical mural or and English garden scene, we have been able to adapt our style.
We also offer faux finishing, custom canvas work, mosaic tile art and many other creative needs.
How we price:
Murals: All of our murals are priced by the job. The price is established based on the detail, the area we are painting,
and the size of the mural. Sometimes large simple murals can be similar in price as small detailed murals.
We often work within specific budgets for people so they can control how much they put into their project.
Faux finishing: Just like a mural, we consider our wall finishes to be pieces of art. Every job is priced differently.
Finishes that require more layers would be more expensive than the simpler one color glaze finishes.
The process:
After your initial call, we would set up a consultation to see the space we will be working on. At this meeting we would
discuss all the specifics of your project to either prepare a sketch for a mural or create a sample for a wall finish.
We also will provide you with an estimate for cost. When the sketch or sample is complete we will set up another appt.
so you can view it. We can talk about any adjustments and give you an exact price.
We would then collect a deposit and give the project a start date.
