Speakeasy Walls Frequently asked questions

Here are the most commonly asked questions about our products. If you don’t find the information you are looking for below, just Contact Us and we will be happy to help.

· What is it?
Speakeasy Walls features pre-spaced, pre-pasted transfer wall lettering that is made of a thin vinyl material. The lettering is easy to apply and will look like hand painting instantly.

· Where can I apply it?
Almost any smooth to semi-smooth surface. Painted walls (light and medium textures including knock down and orange peel) are fine. Sandy textures and stucco will most likely not work. Most wallpapers, wood, furniture, glass, metal, ceramic tile, sinks, shower doors, hardy plank siding, mail boxes and more will work fine. For newly painted walls, wait about 3 weeks to let the paint cure before applying our products.

· How do I remove it?
When you are ready to remove or replace a wall quote, use a pair of tweezers to lift the edge and then peel vinyl off slowly. If the quote or art has been in place for a long period of time it may harden a little. Just heat it a bit with a blow dryer first, then remove. If there is any sort of residue left on the wall it will come off with a quick wipe of rubbing alcohol or Goo Gone. All surfaces are different and we cannot guarantee or be held responsible for damage to any surface.

· How will I know how long my wall quote will be?
On our pricing page we have averages based on the number of words in the quote. However, font choice can greatly affect the length. Just email us before placing your order and we can give you exact measurements or we can call you and help you decide what size lettering you need to order to fill a certain space.

· How is my wall lettering (quote) and decorative wall art measured for height? What does 1″ lettering mean?
Sizing is measured in TOTAL HEIGHT. This is from the highest point of the letters to the lowest point. If you have lowercase letters that drop down (such as (g) ( j) ( y)) or go up (such as (h) and (f)) if your font selection is extremely “artsy” and has a lot of high and low flairs in it, these factors will affect your total height. If you order your quote in a 3″ size, all the individual letters will not each be exactly 3″ in size. Please contact us if you have further questions about this.

· How are standard and custom wall quotes priced? What is the difference?
We have hundreds of standard quotes offered on our site. These are priced on a per word basis and then by the size ordered. Custom quotes or lettering are priced on a per letter basis and then by the size ordered. In most cases the standard quote pricing works out to be the best price for you. However, in some cases, especially on shorter standard quotes it may work out better if you order it as a custom quote. Do a search to see if the quote you are ordering is offered as a standard quote (under the Home tab click on Search Site and type in a word or two from your quote). If so, compare the standard quote price to that of the custom quote price and then order whichever one is the better price for you. If we have a standard quote that you want to order but we have a comma and you want a dash or other minor change, please email us and we will gladly work with you to make that change so that you can order it as a standard quote if the pricing is better for you that way.

· How will my wall quote or decorative wall art arrive?
Your quote will arrive ready to apply. If your quote is long it may come in two or more pieces. This is sometimes necessary for cutting purposes but also makes it much easier to put up. It can get a little tricky trying to put up a quote that is 6ft. long. If you ordered a designer look that has more than one color, the colors will come separately and can be arranged or layered to meet your needs.

· How do I tell you details about my order?
During the last steps of the checkout process there is a customer notes/comments box. This is a good place to give us any additional information regarding your order. Some important information for us would be if you want the first letter of each word in your quote capitalized or if a quote has an author and you don’t want the name included with your quote. Any specific details you want to give us are helpful. In addition, you are always welcome to email us regarding your order.

· What if I can’t find a design, color or font on your website?
Just email us and let us know what you are looking for, and we will do our best ot meet your needs.

· How can I be certain of a color?
The color samples are as close to actual color as possible, but may vary based on your computer. Email us and we will send you out samples of the colors you would like to see so that you can make the best choice.

· Can I put it over an archway?
Yes, we have special instructions (See Arched Quotes). We will need a few easy to do measurements to make the quote fit over arches, round mirrors and more.

· Can I order wall quotes in a different language?
Yes, for suggestion purposes we have some quotes shown in Spanish, French and Italian. You can order those languages or any other language you would like. You just need to give us the quote in the language you want, being very specific of special characters and spelling. As for quotes shown in other languages on our site you will not receive the quote in English, just the Spanish, French or Italian version.
