Creative Art Design

About our Company: 
 
      Creative Art Design was established 21 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 an 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 services. Our most recent projects have included large scale, multi canvas paintings.  These pieces are a great addition to any room or commercial space that needs over-sized art to fill big walls. 

 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.

Frequently asked questions:

     How long will a mural last?     All of or murals are painted with durable long-lasting products.  In many cases we will add a clear protective finish.  Exterior U.V.  clear coats are used for exterior murals to keep them lasting for many years.  We also would typically put an additional protective finish in children's rooms as well as kitchen's and bathroom's.

      Why don't you charge by the square foot for faux finishes?
  All of our faux finishes are custom to each client.  We find it easier to price this work by the job based on the custom sample we prepare.   

      How far will you travel?  We have painted custom murals for people from Hawaii to Nova Scotia.  We are willing to go just about anywhere.

      How long does it take to paint?  An illusion mural can average between 2 and 5 days depending on size and detail. Faux finishes are usually done in 1 or 2 days.  Venetian plaster finishes take considerably longer.
