We include any sign, not built for a private residence, under this very general heading.

This page includes answers to the most frequently asked questions, including
pricing information.

We're  also continually adding project pages, with photographs and detailed information about specific signs completed in the past.

SO HERE IT IS, EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT GETTING A CUSTOM SANDBLASTED SIGN:

Redwood, in the top grades, is almost impossible to buy. Cedar does not have near the natural resistance to dry rot; not does it have the dramatic grain pattern sandblasted redwood signs are famous for.
All our sandblasted signs are now built of HDU, or high-density urethane foam. Widely used in the sign industry for years,  this material is impervious to moisture and completely stable over a wide range of temperatures. This gives it much greater weather resistance than any wood. Finishes last much longer. Grain is created during the sandblasting process, so each sign has the most dramatic wood grain pattern.
HDU is not as strong as wood. We compensate for that, as necessary,  in different ways.
A double-sided HDU sign will be much thicker than one made of wood. For freestanding installations, we mount the sign faces to pressure-treated wood support frames, custom built for that particular application. Support Posts are also available.

After sandblasting, all surfaces of each sign are completely sealed, then painted. Only top quality exterior finishes are used. Each finish, thru our experience over the years, is selected to provide maximum durability in all climate conditions.

There are so many variables, that we have simplified pricing as follows: $55 per square foot. This is for a fully finished one-sided sandblasted sign, as described above.
Signs finished on both sides are always thicker, usually include heavy-duty screw-eyes or integral pressure-treated wood frames, and are generally priced at $100.00 per square foot.
Logos/Artwork, choice of lettering styles, shapes & colors, design service and scale
renderings - all included at this price. Larger, simple, signs and multiple signs ordered at the same time are always discounted. Special Pricing is available for sign and graphic arts professionals willing to get involved in the design and/or finish painting.

To know what it will cost to have us build you a sandblasted sign, simply calculate what size rectangle it will fit into. Multiply the height by the width. If it's in inches, divide the total by 144. That gives you the square foot total.
For example: a 2' x 3' oval-shaped sign will fit into a 2' x 3' rectangle. 2 x 3 = 6 square feet. Multiply the square feet by $55. 6 x $55 = $330.
Another Example: an odd-shaped design that will fit into a 41" x 83" rectangle. 41 x 83 = 3403. 3403 divided by 144 = 23.63. 23.63 x $55 = $1299.65. That sign is going to cost right about $1300.00
Packing and shipping will be additional. Also, if the sign is to be freestanding, a support structure will be required. 
We'll always provide a firm total, in writing, for the entire, complete and delivered, project before any work begins.

Send us an email message or, less desirable, a fax. Include as much information as you have. Dimensions, either approximate or exact. Logo, or letterhead, if there's a graphic or particular font you need to match: and descriptions of preferred colors. Although the truth is we don't quote on every proposal received, in most cases a firm price quote will be prepared and sent back. There is no obligation for this service.

We will require a deposit of approx.1/2 the total value of the order, before actual sandblasting begins.
This transaction, along with the balance payment, can be handled via Visa, MasterCard, American Express or check.

Our goal is to complete and ship each sign within two weeks from receipt of deposit. Time to completion, in each case, will be included on the price quote.

All but the smallest commercial signs are shipped in custom wooden crates. Smaller signs can go priority mail. UPS takes larger crates, up to a point. For the largest signs, we'll work with a trucking company (Yellow Freight is an example). Cost, of course, depends on weight and destination. Generally it is not our policy to make a profit on either packing or shipping. A firm shipping cost will be included in your price quote.

Balance of payment is due upon satisfactory completion, and receipt by client, of the work.
