what a contractor’s license brings to your project
Most muralists are not licensed contractors. Our C-33 painting license is rare in this industry - and it matters for institutional and commercial work.
A license signals experience with job site coordination, safety protocols, and regulatory compliance. It is also the only way to carry proper insurance, including workers' compensation for an on-site crew.
We’re proud to offer that additional layer of protection and professionalism to business and property owners.
