We strive to make the best possible product for the best possible price. We believe in building genuine relationships and communication.

The services we offer are done by hand, so we put my heart and soul into each project. We have a robust client list and a proven track record of quality products and services.

What information do you need to start a project?

Please send us a project brief or fill out our customer survey with as much information as possible. Some things to consider: 

  • Dimensions of sign or mural

  • Surface that will be painted on (for murals)

  • Double or single sided (for signs)

  • Do you need brackets, hardware or installation?

  • Exact wording of the sign

  • Do you have artwork or need something design?

  • If you already have artwork, please provide it in PDF format

  • Location photos

  • A mood board or inspiration photos

  • Any special requests like gold leaf, carved, glass, etc.

How long do projects take? 

We typically book 3 - 8 weeks in advance. Murals and signs take 3-10 days to be completed once a deposit is taken and design is finalized.  Signs are a 4-6 week turnaround.

How do you price your work?

In general, murals and window art are priced by size, while signs and lettering are priced by hour + materials. The more complex or detailed the project, the higher the cost. 

What are your payment terms?

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to begin all projects. The amount is determined by an estimate created from our initial consultation. Estimates are valid for 90 days. Any changes to the scope of the project will be reflected in the final invoice and agreed upon in advance. Balances are due upon completion or delivery of the project. We’re transparent in our pricing and policies, so everything will be confirmed in writing to ensure we share the same expectations. There is a 15% late fee added to all invoice balances 30+ days overdue.

Can you help with sign permits?

If you need photos, mock-ups or sketches provided for sign permits, this is charged at an hourly rate and added to your final invoice.

Do you install signs?

We do not offer installation, however we can coordinate installation with one of our trusted partners. This service starts at $400 and is billed separately from project invoices.

Can I use the artwork you made for logos or merchandise? 

We’re happy to create a licensing agreement for any artwork you want to use outside of the original agreement. This will also include a digitized version of the artwork. The mural or sign design may not be reproduced without our written permission and a new licensing agreement. 

What materials do you use?

Exterior signs are made of MDO (marine-grade plywood) or HDU (sign foam). Interior signs are made on a variety of woods, pre-made sign blanks or architectural salvage. We will always recommend the best material for your specific project. We use professional quality paint systems for maximum durability. All gilding is done with genuine gold leaf.

Do you offer digital printing or vinyl signs?

The short answer: no. Our work is focused on maintaining the highest level of craftsmanship and traditional painting methods.
