Murals, graffiti, and painted walls for New York businesses.

A mural is any large artwork painted straight onto a wall, in any style. A graffiti wall is a mural done in graffiti style: spray-painted lettering, characters, and bold color. Both are commissioned art, and both are legal when the building owner agrees to them.

It depends on size and detail. A single accent wall in a simple style can be painted in a day or two, while a large, detailed wall can take a week or more. You get the schedule in writing with your quote, before any work starts.

In most cases, yes. The work area is taped off and covered, and painting can be scheduled early, late, or on the days you are closed. For spaces that stay busy, low-odor paint options are part of the consultation.

Usually, yes. Most leases need the landlord to sign off before anyone paints, and the design mockup is often what gets that approval. If a permanent mural is not allowed, the art can be painted on panels or canvas and mounted, so it can move with you.

Drywall, brick, concrete, cinder block, wood, and primed metal all work. Glass and very slick surfaces need special primers, or a panel mural instead. The consultation includes a look at the wall, and any cleaning, patching, or priming is written into the quote.

Most indoor murals only need an occasional wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap once the paint has fully cured, which takes about three to four weeks. Outdoor and high-traffic walls usually get a clear protective coat, and an anti-graffiti coating makes tags easier to clean off. You get care notes at the hand-off.

Yes. Send your logo files and brand guide, and the paint is mixed to your brand colors. A logo wall or painted sign can be its own job or part of a larger mural.

Yes. Outside walls and storefronts need the building owner to approve them, and some need city approval as well, depending on the city and what the mural shows. We check what applies to your address during the consultation.

Inside your space, usually not, though your lease and building rules still apply. Outside, two things matter. If the wall carries a commercial message, such as your business name or products, the Department of Buildings can treat it as an advertising sign, which has its own zoning and permit rules. If the building is a landmark or sits in a historic district, the Landmarks Preservation Commission usually has to approve the mural first. We check both for your address during the consultation.

It often helps, and cities have used murals against tagging for decades: Philadelphia's Mural Arts program started in 1984 as part of the city's Anti-Graffiti Network. No wall is tag-proof, so outdoor murals also get an anti-graffiti clear coat that lets new tags wash off without damaging the art.

It gives people a reason to post. A wall customers photograph puts your name in their feeds, and photos of it belong on your Google Business Profile, where people choose local businesses. Velora also runs local marketing, so we can add the finished mural to your profile and posts.

Both. Accent walls, color blocking, stripes, arches, and full repaints for offices, shops, and studios are part of the service, and they are quoted the same way as a mural.

Yes. Send the drawings, renderings, or finish schedule, and the mural is planned to fit the design and the construction timeline.

Mostly in New York City and on Long Island, plus Westchester, the Hudson Valley, and the rest of New York State through our partner studios. We also take on walls along the East Coast, including New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. Tell us where the wall is in your request and we will match it to a studio that covers your area.
