A storefront is the street-facing front of a shop, restaurant, or office, including the facade, the entrance, the windows, and the sign above the door. For most customers, it’s the first thing they see. Good storefront signs tell people who you are before they ever step inside. From our shop in Edgewater, Maryland, we make them for businesses across Annapolis, Baltimore, and Washington, DC.
Carved and Dimensional Storefront Signs
A dimensional sign has depth, so it stands out from the building behind it. We make storefront signs from carved wood and from HDU. We sandblast wood, and we route HDU to get a similar look. Gold leaf lettering adds contrast and shine. For example, see our gilded sign for Old Stein Inn and our sign for Blanca Flor in historic Annapolis. We also made a sandblasted sign with gold leaf for Kiefer Family Orthodontics.
Gold Leaf Windows and Glass
The window itself can be one of the best signs a shop has. Gold leaf on glass gives a storefront a classic look that lasts for decades. For instance, we gilded logos for Shinola and the Songbyrd Cafe in Washington, DC. For a more modern look, etched-look film gives glass doors a frosted finish, like these door logos in Easton.

Letters and Logos for a Storefront
Some storefronts call for individual dimensional letters instead of a single sign panel. Raised letters and logos catch the light and add presence to the building. They also help a storefront stand out from the others on the block. Browse our dimensional letters to see the range.
How We Approach Storefront Signs
Every storefront is its own project. So we start with the building, the street, and how people approach it. Visibility matters most, since a sign should be easy to read from the sidewalk and from the road. Then we design an original sign around your name and your brand. The result is curb appeal that works every day.
