Grayslake Mural Painting Services
We’ve been creating custom graphics for Lake County businesses who understand that first impressions matter. We’re not the cheapest option in town, and that’s exactly why local businesses choose us.
You’re investing in materials that last, installation that’s done right the first time, and designs that actually represent who you are. We’ve worked with everyone from downtown Grayslake storefronts to corporate offices, and we understand what works in this market.
When you need it done right, you need someone who knows the difference between a quick job and quality work.
Wall Mural Installation Process
First, we visit your space to understand exactly what you’re working with. Wall condition, lighting, foot traffic, your goals. This isn’t a phone consultation – we need to see the actual space.
Then we design something that works specifically for your wall and your brand. Not a template with your logo slapped on it. A custom solution that fits your space and your message.
Installation happens when it’s convenient for your business. We prep the surface properly, apply the graphics with professional tools, and make sure every edge is perfect. You get to focus on running your business while we handle the details.
The result is a mural that looks like it was always meant to be there.

Interior and Exterior Graphics
Your wall mural needs to handle whatever Lake County throws at it. Summer heat, winter cold, spring storms, and everything in between.
We use commercial-grade vinyl that’s specifically designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. The same materials that major retailers use for their storefronts. Not the thin stuff that peels off after one Illinois winter.
For Grayslake businesses, this means your exterior graphics stay vibrant through lake effect weather, and your interior murals maintain their professional appearance even in high-traffic areas. Whether you’re on Center Street dealing with foot traffic or on Route 83 handling road visibility, your graphics perform.
How long do wall murals last in Illinois weather?
Quality wall murals using commercial-grade vinyl typically last 5-7 years outdoors in Illinois weather, and even longer indoors. The key is using the right materials for the application.
We use UV-resistant inks and weather-resistant vinyl specifically rated for Midwest conditions. This means your mural won’t fade during summer heat waves or crack during those brutal Lake County winters.
Interior murals can last 10+ years with minimal wear, even in high-traffic areas like lobbies or retail spaces. The longevity really comes down to material quality and proper installation – both things we don’t compromise on.
Can wall murals be removed without damaging the wall?
Yes, when installed properly with the right adhesive, wall murals can be removed cleanly without damaging most wall surfaces. This is especially important for businesses that lease their space or want to update their graphics seasonally.
We use removable vinyl options for temporary installations and permanent adhesives for long-term applications. The choice depends on your specific needs and timeline.
The key is proper surface preparation and using adhesives matched to your wall type. Painted drywall, brick, metal siding – each requires a different approach. We evaluate your specific wall surface during our initial consultation to recommend the best option.
What's the difference between painted murals and vinyl graphics?
Vinyl graphics offer several advantages over traditional painted murals, especially for business applications. First, they’re much faster to install – what might take a painter days to complete, we can install in hours.
Vinyl also provides more consistent color reproduction and can include complex designs, gradients, and photographic elements that would be extremely difficult to paint by hand. Plus, if you need to make changes or updates, vinyl can be modified or replaced much more easily than paint.
For businesses, vinyl graphics also mean no downtime waiting for paint to dry, no fumes, and the ability to work around your business hours. The finished result is often more precise and professional-looking than hand-painted alternatives.
How much does a custom wall mural cost?
Wall mural pricing depends on size, complexity, materials, and installation requirements. A basic interior graphic might start around $8-12 per square foot, while complex outdoor murals with special materials can run $15-25 per square foot.
For most Grayslake businesses, a typical lobby or accent wall (around 100-200 square feet) ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 including design and installation. Larger exterior applications obviously cost more, but the per-square-foot price often decreases with size.
We provide detailed quotes after seeing your space because every project is different. Wall condition, access, design complexity, and timeline all affect pricing. The investment usually pays for itself quickly in improved brand recognition and customer experience.
Do you handle the design, or do I need my own artwork?
We handle the complete design process, from initial concept through final artwork preparation. Most of our clients come to us with ideas rather than finished designs, and that works perfectly.
Our design process starts with understanding your brand, your space, and your goals. We then create concepts that work specifically for your wall dimensions and viewing angles. You’ll see proofs and revisions before anything goes to production.
If you already have artwork or logos, we can work with those too. We’ll adapt existing designs to work effectively as large-format wall graphics, making sure they’ll look great at mural scale rather than just enlarging something designed for business cards.
How long does the wall mural process take from start to finish?
Most wall mural projects take 2-3 weeks from initial consultation to completed installation. This includes design development, client approval, material production, and scheduling the installation.
Rush jobs are possible when needed – we’ve completed projects in as little as one week for time-sensitive promotions or events. However, better results usually come from allowing proper time for design development and material preparation.
The actual installation typically takes 1-2 days depending on project size and complexity. We work around your business hours when possible, and many installations can be completed during evenings or weekends to minimize disruption to your operations.
