What kind of wall do you have?
Every type of wall has its own logistics, permits and price. These are the four we paint most.
Gable walls and blank walls
Large format at its purest: 150 to 500+ m² visible from streets, squares and motorways. Needs an agreement with the owner, a lift or scaffolding, and coordination with neighbours.
Building facades and headquarters
Residential, hotels, student residences, corporate headquarters. The mural becomes part of the architecture and the building’s brand, with openings and materials the design has to integrate.
Perimeter walls, warehouses and infrastructure
Construction hoardings, industrial units, stations and underpasses: dozens of linear metres where mural painting replaces grey concrete and tagging.
Advertising gable walls
When the wall is for a brand, the mural becomes large-format hand-painted advertising. It has its own regulations: we handle them from day one. See advertising walls →
Gable walls and facades we have painted
Three large-format projects solving three different problems: a motorway, a residential facade and a brand campaign.

How we paint a gable wall or a facade
In large format, 60% of the work happens before the first brushstroke. That is why we act as a single point of contact.
1
Wall survey
Condition of the surface, orientation, access, visibility and ownership. If repairs or priming are needed, you know before the price.
2
Permits, neighbours and insurance
Agreement with the owners’ association or the property, public-space occupation permits, urban landscape rules if a brand is involved, and liability insurance.
3
Artist and design
Two or three artists with large-format experience; the design is approved on a to-scale simulation of the wall.
4
Access equipment and painting
Cherry picker, scaffolding or rope access depending on the wall, with certified crews and a safety plan. One to three weeks of painting.
5
Protection and promotion
Anti-graffiti varnish at street level, professional photography, making-of video and communication.
How much does it cost to paint a gable wall or a facade?
As a guide, a medium facade or exterior wall (50–150 m²) ranges from €9,000 to €18,000, and a large-format gable wall (150 m²+) from €18,000 to €45,000, including permits, insurance and access equipment. Singular productions with renowned artists are quoted individually.
What moves the price most is access equipment and the condition of the wall, not the paint. We break it down item by item in our pricing guide. Tell us about the wall and you will have a realistic range within 48 hours.
Frequently asked questions about gable wall and facade murals
Do I need a permit to paint a gable wall?
Yes: authorisation from the owner or the owners’ association, a public-space occupation permit for the access equipment and, if the mural carries a brand, urban landscape regulations. In Barcelona and most municipalities we have the contacts and the procedures down: we handle it for you.
I own an empty gable wall: can I offer it or rent it out for a mural?
Yes. We work with owners, residents’ associations and property managers who want to bring a blank wall back to life: as an artistic mural funded by an institution, or as an advertising wall that generates income for the community. Tell us where it is and we will assess its visibility.
How long does it take to paint a facade?
One to three weeks of painting depending on the square metres, the technique and the weather, plus the preparation (design, permits and setting up the access equipment). You get the full schedule with the quote.
How long does an exterior mural last?
With a well-prepared surface and quality exterior paints, more than ten years with minimal maintenance. At street level we apply anti-graffiti varnish so tags can be cleaned off without damaging the artwork.
Scaffolding or cherry picker?
It depends on the wall and the street: a cherry picker is faster and cheaper when there is room to park it; scaffolding is the option for narrow streets or very tall walls, and rope access when nothing else fits. We decide during the wall survey and include it in a fixed quote.
