Large signs such as shown above can be entrance signs, monument signs, roof signs, free-standing post & panel signs, or wall signs. Monument signs, including their bases and supports, are described in Product Line 6. We design, build and install custom large dimensional redwood, cedar, HDU, HDPE, and MDO/HDO signs and metal, HDU and acrylic stand-off letters on a custom and project basis. We specialize in dimensional signs of several types, with a variety of advanced design features such as HDU, acrylic and metal cutout /stand-off letters and art appliques, sandblasted or routed incised (i.e., engraved ) letters and art, sandblasted backgrounds with and without grain patterns, bas-relief multi-layer sandblasted/hand-carved/or CNC routed and hand-painted Carved Art and high-relief HDU sculpture appliques which are carved in deep relief and hand-sanded. We paint our signs with the finest Mathews enamel paints ,or stains and varnishes (wood only). We can also gild applique or incised letters or art with 24K gold, silver, copper or aluminum leaf.
We can either provide the sign for you to install on your own support structure, or we can build the sign support structure for easy installation of the sign. We design and built both internal and external support structures from steel, aluminum, Redwood and Cedar. We do not do sign surveys, permitting, or sign installations, but provide information to contractors who do these services.

Aluminum, steel, HDPE and HDO/MDO signs are the lowest in price; they typically cost $55/ft2 to $85/ft2. HDU signs cost from $80/ft2 to $100/ft2. Large Mahogany and Cedar signs cost approximately from $150/ft2 to $225/ft2. Our sign prices depend primarily on sign area, whether they are single or double-faced, design detail and complexity (e.g., number of paint colors and amount of hand-painting, and any special features (e.g., steel reinforcements and frames, overlays, gold leaf, etc.). These prices do not include posts or support structures, which we sell separately, or shipping/freight.

HIGH QUALITY - OUR SIGNS ARE MADE OF THE BEST MATERIALS AND HAVE A LONG LIFE. We use the very best materials and manufacturing processes to create our wood signs. We provide a warranty of 2 years, and we expect our wood signs and plaques to last for several decades with proper maintenance. We use prime, kiln-dried, knot-free, vertical grain all-heart Redwood, Cedar, and Mahogany that are supplied by Forest Plywood and Wood Products. We use Minwax low VOC stains. We use Ultra Low VOC Matthews automotive-type 2-part polyurethane acrylic paint and clear-coat , which are UV and graffiti resistance, so there is very little fading when the sign is exposed to direct sunlight, and graffiti can usually be cleaned off with acetone. Matthews paints cost $200/gallon, compared to house paints which cost $40/gallon that most other sign companies use. Matthews MAP will last 20 years or more before repainting. We use 1-Shot Low VOC Oil-Based High Gloss Lettering Enamels for text and artwork. 1-Shot is simply the best (and most expensive) lettering enamel in the world. It costs nearly $200/gallon.
SHIPPING TO YOUR LOCATION. We ship our large signs to locations in every state and Canada via freight carriers. These are usually large semi-trucks, with trailers up to 53 feet long and 8 feet wide and 8 feet high. Signs that exceed 10 feet in their smallest dimension (very unusual) have to shipped on a flatbed truck. We employ a sign packaging technique that is very effective in protecting our signs from damage. We shrink wrap the signs, crate our signs in plywood boxes filled with foam, and for the largest signs, build an external support structure out of 2 x 4's for braces. Crates are marked fragile and we do not allow other freight to be placed on top of our crates. We mount the crated sign(s) on pallet bases so so forklifts can easily remove the crate from the truck without the damage to the truck. We only use reliable freight companies; we have shipped over 7000 crates all over the country in the last 12 years with very little damage. We insure all signs against shipping damage; in the unlikely event that your sign is damaged during shipping, we will repair or replace it at no charge to you.
