Virginia is a state in the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States, officially the Commonwealth of Virginia. Its capital is Richmond, and it stretches from the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic coast to the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is also home to the first permanent English settlement in America, Jamestown, which makes it one of the oldest and most historic places in the country.

Our Work Across the Potomac

The northern part of the state sits just across the Potomac River from Washington, DC, and many of its homes, offices, and communities are close neighbors to our work in the District. Designs & Signs works from Edgewater, Maryland, and we travel south for installations, from gold leaf on historic buildings to carved and sandblasted signs. Every sign is its own project, and a craftsman plans each one around the place it will stand.

Gold Leaf Transom Numbers in Virginia

Gold leaf transom numbers are one of our most popular projects in Northern Virginia, just as they are in DC. Hand-gilded numbers on the glass above a front door make a home easy to find and give it a distinctive look. You can see how we make them in these posts:

Dimensional Letters and Entrance Signs

We also install dimensional letters and entrance signs in the Washington suburbs. For more on our office lettering, see brushed gold dimensional letters for an office wall, and for a carved community sign, see the Loch Haven entrance sign.
