What does a carved sign cost?There are many factors affecting the price. Prices vary from about $200 for a small sign with just a touch of carving. to several thousands of dollars for an elaborately carved double-faced commercial sign. Typical, single-faced, "End of the Driveway" signs are between $500 and $600. Back to Top
Are they weatherproof?All of our signs are weatherproof. You have probably seen some old signs that look pretty beat up from the sun and elements. Those signs were made of wood, which is likely to deteriorate over the years as the paint becomes brittle and flaky allowing moisture penetration. But in the past, wood was the only material available. But new technology has introduced High Density Urethane, the modern sign material. HDU has a very dense cell-structure that is unaffected by the weather. It can't absorb moisture, and it won't warp or crack - the main causes of paint failure. All of our carved signs are made of High Density Urethane.

Can I get reflective numbers?Usually at no extra charge we can insert glass beads in the finish coat of paint. This is the same technique used on reflective road markings. The beads reflect oncoming lights, giving your sign great night time visibility for emergency vehicles and visiting in-laws.
How are signs delivered?Smaller signs (less than 10 square feet) are delivered by Priority Mail. Larger signs are either shipped by common carrier or delivered (within 100 miles of our shop in Maine). Some of our clients opt to drive up to our shop and pick up their sign. Your visit will always be welcome and we'll put on a fresh pot of coffee or tea before you arrive. Back to Top
How do I take care of my sign?Your sign will love the weather and requires little maintenance. Once in a while you can wash it with water and a little dish detergent to remove the accumulated dirt from the air. Back to Top
How long does it take to make a sign?Generally we ship completed signs within 6 weeks of the order. Back to Top
