FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that investing in premium decorative finishes is an important decision. Here we answer the most common questions to help you make the best decision for your space.
💰 Why is it more expensive than regular paint?
Our finishes are not paint—they are artisan techniques with premium materials imported from Italy, France, and specialized manufacturers. While regular paint lasts 3-5 years, our finishes remain flawless for 10+ years.
The real difference:
- Regular paint: $500-$1,000 every 3-5 years = $2,000-$4,000 over 10 years
- CRISTUDIOS premium finish: One-time investment that lasts 10+ years
- Result: You save money long-term + increase your property value 5-10%
⏱️ How long does a project take?
It depends on the size:
- One accent wall: 2-3 days
- Complete room: 5-7 days
- Large projects (multiple rooms): 2-3 weeks
- Custom murals: 1-4 weeks depending on complexity
We give you an exact timeline during the free consultation.
