That depends on the nature of your project. Generally, we price our murals based on the distance we have to travel to your location and the size of the print, which affects the amount of time and ink the print will take to complete. Generally our projects cost $15-25 a square foot. According to ProMatcher.com, hand painted muralists average about $38 per square foot. You can get an exact quote for your project by contacting us!

SPEED

Quality murals by hand are known for taking days to be applied and finished; our vertical wall printer prints high-resolution images up to 20 Sq. Ft. Per hour with remarkable accuracy, turning that job that takes several days to complete into just a few hours. While hand painting requires substantial setup and tear down, our wall printer requires nearly none.

QUALITY

Vinyl and wall decals can develop air bubbles which can tear or take away attention from the image. Vinyl and wall decals easily peel up on textured wall material and only can be applied to smooth, sanded-down walls, which take a lot of prep and can create a huge mess when sanding.

We practice printing a smaller version of your image in front of you before proceeding to the real thing. This guarantees your image will come out exactly as intended. With hand-painted murals, you aren’t given that same guarantee. Our wall printer prints on any wall type and detects variations in the depth of the wall material, so it doesn’t mess with your final product. Your satisfaction is our #1 priority.

PRICE

Hand-painted murals require tons of prep, effort, and precision, all of which compound into the final price. The average muralist in San Diego charges $32-43 per sq. ft. for these kinds of jobs. With next to no prep work, our vertical wall printer keeps your final cost low. Our printer prints at a Hi Resolution of 1440x 1440 DPI, so precision is already built in at no additional cost to you. Depending on the job type, customers pay between $15-25 per sq ft.

DURABILITY

Vinyl and wall decals can be placed quickly, but one tear will completely derail your image. They also shrink and fade in direct sunlight. Our images last for 5+ years on outside surfaces and 10+ years on inside surfaces without additional primer or sealant.

VERSATILITY

We can print indoors, outdoors, and on your doors! Porous materials make painting challenging; here at SD Wall Printing, we don’t have that issue. Any surface, any image, and any size is our motto. While traditional paint will seep into porous materials and eventually fade or discolor, our special UV paint stays on top of the surface and cures in about 1 minute.
