In addition to the cost of the project itself, a travel fee for locations outside of McKinney and it’s bordering cities will be added.
How much time is needed to complete the project?
Typically, we need two hours for painting per group. Also, we suggest budgeting 30 minutes before and after for set-up and clean-up by our staff.
