A custom signage project is the full process of creating unique signs for businesses, homes, or boats. At Designs & Signs, LLC, we handle every step of the job. First, we start with design drafts and site measurements. Next, we handcraft your sign in our shop. Finally, we install the finished product at your location across Maryland, Washington, DC, and Virginia.
Each project has its own special requirements based on where you place the sign. For instance, some jobs call for traditional handcrafting. We offer 23-karat gold leaf glass gilding, custom wood carving, and hand-painted lettering. Meanwhile, other jobs need modern materials. For these, we use carved High-Density Urethane (HDU), sandblasted wood, or cast bronze plaques.
Boat signs require extra care because salt water and sun can ruin thin coatings. Therefore, we use high-grade marine varnishes like Awlspar and Awlcraft 3000 on custom quarterboards and yacht names. On the other hand, commercial properties often need large entrance signs, carved wall letters, or hand-painted building murals.
Every successful project depends on correct surface preparation and high-quality mounting hardware. As a result, our team blends traditional gold leaf skills with long-lasting materials. In the end, your sign looks beautiful and stands up to tough outdoor weather for years to come.
