How we build it, and what each part does.

What you are actually buying

A carved sign starts as a solid HDU board. We route the copy and any artwork into it, prime and paint the whole thing, then lay gold leaf by hand where the design calls for it. The result has a depth that no printed panel can fake.

It is the right choice when your business wants to look established: a nail bar, a bakery, a law office, a school hall of fame.

Questions we get about carved & engraved

Will it survive outside?

Yes. HDU does not rot or split like wood, and the paint system is built for exterior weather.

Can you match an old sign?

Send photos. Reproducing a worn sign in better material is a regular request.
