A wall stencil job can take between 3-8 hours (depending on the size of the wall). Here is how it works...
1. Arrival: We prefer to arrive at your house or business in the morning and start around 9:00 am (we are flexible on the time).
2. Agreement and Disclaimer: We will ask that you sign an agreement, outlining the payment for your project and confirming the price estimate you have been given for your project. We will also walk you through our disclaimer (how to proceed in the unlikely event that there is a mistake and the stencil needs to be re-done). Read more about our disclaimer...
3. Beautiful Changes Chat: Because we believe "changes on the inside" and are actually more important than "changes on the outside," we begin each project by asking the client (YOU! the home or business owner) to join the stencil artists for a 15 Minute "Beautiful Changes Chat." In this, each person is asked to share...
- What is one thing that is beautiful in your life?
- What is one thing that is not-so-beautiful in your life?
The women will then initiate a short blessing prayer for any needs. Read more about the "Beautiful Changes Chat..."
4. Set-Up: The women will set up by covering your floor, setting up their "paint table" and preparing your walls (taping base boards and door frames to protect them from paint).
Note: We use "painters blue tape" and carefully remove it, but because of the humidity in this area, on rare occasion when the tape is removed, it will take-off some of your "older paint." If you can provide some of the original paint, we are happy to do "touch-ups"
5. Stencilling: They will begin stencilling by placing the plastic stencil on your wall and rolling on the paint with a "paint roller." The stencil is carefully moved and repositioned many times to create the "all over stencil" look.
6. Clean-up: It is very important to clean the stencil carefully so we ask that you provide a bath tub with access to hot water for them to clean the paint off the stencil.
7. Evaluation: To improve our services we ask that you fill out a short evaluation. We value your feedback!
8. Payment: We require full payment for the job in cash once your project is completed (you will receive and approve the charges for the entire project in advance...so there are no surprizes).
