Quality Materials

Our signs last. We only use the very best materials and only expert professional workmanship. We don't take short cuts. When you get a sign from us you get the very best. We guarantee it.

Vinyl & Gold Leaf


Only High Performance Vinyls. We use High performance vinyls by Oracal and Arlon. High Performance vinyls are meant for the outdoors and have a life expectancy of 8-12 years. More with good care practices.


23K Gold Leaf Nothing but 23K patent German for our guilded signs.


Sign Materials


MDO is Maximum Density Overlay Marine plywood. This is what we use for our painted signs. We epoxy all edges and hermetically seal the sign edge against water damage. It is paper faced and primed twice and painted at least 3 times for a fantastic durable finish.


Extira is a wood composite. Originally engineered for outdoor doors. This is what we use for our hand-carved signs. We have been carving our sign on this since 2002. It preforms outside better than wood. It is incredibly dense and gives a beautiful smooth finish for your carved sign.

Paints 


Our favorite paint is from Old Village. They make beautiful oil paints with a matte finish in Early American colors that we highly recommend. We also use Ronan One Stroke Lettering Enamels and One Shot Paints. They provide high gloss finishes for a more modern look. And also have superior durability  with outstanding fade resistance.  We will use Benjamin Moore paints when we need to match colors that are not available in our shop palettes.
