McCullom Lake Wall Mural Installation
Road Rage Designs was founded in 1992 by Mike Grillo, a 3M and PDAA certified installer who got tired of working for companies that didn’t deliver the customer service and quality he knew was possible.
With 20 years of industry knowledge, we’ve worked with hundreds of companies throughout Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. We understand what works in this market because we’ve been part of it for decades.
McCullom Lake businesses appreciate working with someone who gets it – you need quality work done quickly, without the runaround, and at a fair price. When you spend money locally, $45 of every $100 stays in the community, which is why we’re proud to serve our neighbors with the same level of service we’d want for ourselves.
Wall Mural Design Process McCullom Lake
First, we talk through what you want to accomplish. Not just “a mural,” but what you want that mural to do for your business – attract customers, reinforce your brand, create a memorable experience.
Our state-of-the-art printing equipment can create custom graphics to any shape and size, so we design something that fits your space perfectly. You’ll see sketches and get approval before we print anything.
Installation is where our experience really shows. We can handle rush jobs when needed – we’ve completed complex projects in just 2 days with amazing results. Most projects take longer, but when you need it done fast, we make it happen without cutting corners.

Custom Mural Services McCullom Lake IL
Your wall mural project includes design consultation, custom printing on professional-grade materials, and complete installation. We don’t use liquid lamination because of lower durability – instead, we use film lamination with our GBC laminators for increased durability and scratch resistance.
McCullom Lake’s climate means your mural needs to handle temperature changes, humidity, and whatever else Illinois weather throws at it. We only use the highest quality vinyls, laminates, and inks because cheap materials look cheap, and they don’t last.
Wall murals help communicate brand values, improve navigation flow, boost employee engagement, and elevate the customer experience – but only when they’re done right the first time.
How much do custom wall murals cost in McCullom Lake?
Most professional muralists charge $10-$40 per square foot with minimums of 100-160 square feet. Your actual cost depends on the size, complexity, and materials needed for your specific project.
We provide detailed quotes that break down exactly what you’re getting – design time, materials, printing, and installation. For printed vinyl murals, expect to invest $3.50-$4.50 per square foot for everyday projects, though hand-painted or highly detailed work costs more.
The best way to get accurate pricing is a quick consultation where we can see your space and understand what you want to accomplish.
How long does wall mural installation take?
Most mural projects take 3 days to 2 weeks depending on size and complexity, with small projects under 300 square feet usually taking 4 days or less. The actual installation is often just one day – most of the time goes into design and printing.
We’re known for getting projects completed quickly with amazing results every time. When you have a deadline, we can handle rush jobs – we’ve turned around complex projects in just 2 days when needed.
Weather can affect outdoor installations, but indoor projects stay on schedule. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.
What surfaces can you install wall murals on?
We can install murals on many different surfaces, and the wall construction affects total costs. We work with drywall, concrete, brick, stucco, wood, and metal surfaces both indoors and outdoors.
Some surfaces need more preparation – wood and stucco walls require extra time and prep work. Walls must be cleaned and primed to help materials adhere properly, and older or damaged walls take longer to prepare.
We’ll assess your specific wall during the consultation and let you know what prep work is needed. Sometimes we can handle the prep ourselves, other times it makes sense to have it done beforehand to save time and money.
Do wall murals work for both indoor and outdoor applications?
Yes, but the materials and approach are different. Outdoor murals typically run $35-$100 per square foot because outdoor materials cost more and are more weather-resistant. Durable outdoor materials cost more than indoor options but they’re necessary for longevity.
Direct sunlight is one of the biggest threats to mural longevity, so choosing shaded walls or installing awnings can significantly slow down fading. We apply high-quality, UV-resistant sealants as a final step to extend your mural’s lifespan.
Indoor murals have more material options and generally last longer, but outdoor murals can be incredibly effective for businesses that want to attract attention from the street.
Can you match our existing brand colors and logo?
Absolutely. Our state-of-the-art printing equipment can create custom graphics to any shape and size, and color matching is part of what we do. Our Vice-President Kris Harris is trained in color correction and obsessed with perfect printing.
We create cohesive brand storytelling with murals that integrate logos, messaging, photography, and custom color palettes. Whether you have brand guidelines or just want something that “feels right” with your existing look, we can make it happen.
We’ll show you color samples and get your approval before final printing. The goal is a mural that looks like it was always meant to be part of your space.
What's included in your wall mural service?
Everything from initial consultation to final cleanup. Every mural we do is designed on paper first, so you see exactly what you’re getting before we start printing or installation.
We’re your one-stop shop for all your graphics needs – design, printing, materials, installation, and any prep work that’s needed. We handle quick turnaround times and all the details so you don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors.
If you want exceptional customer service along with exceptional product and work, that’s what we deliver. No surprises, no hidden fees, just professional results that make your investment worthwhile.
