Church Entrance Signs: Custom HDU Signs in Salisbury, MD

Custom church entrance signs at Trinity Methodist Church in Salisbury

At Designs & Signs, we take great care in crafting church entrance signs. We have made beautiful signs for one of our local churches, Trinity Methodist Church in Salisbury, Maryland. The signs around this historic church are routed HDU (high-density urethane), finished with premium exterior Sherwin-Williams paint. Likewise, the letters, trim, and finials carry gold leaf, which we apply meticulously by hand. We put special care into crafting these signs, and we’re always happy to see that our clients are thrilled with the results. Here we showcase our custom church entrance signs and share a little about how we make them. Every sign is built by hand at our shop in Edgewater, Maryland.

How we make custom outdoor church signs

We use routed HDU to make our beautiful signs. An HDU sign is excellent because it looks just like a traditional cedar sign and, like cedar, withstands extreme weather conditions. For areas susceptible to heavy rains, storms, and snowfall, this can be particularly helpful. We offer church entrance signs that display text and designs. V-cutting is one routing method that resembles the hand-carved incised letter, or V-cut letter. If you prefer a more traditional wood finish, we also offer sandblasted cedar.

Decorative sign posts

We hand-finish the lettering and trim with 23 karat gold leaf, as with most of our other signs. The gold leaf finish is traditional, stylish, and distinctive, and it catches the eye from a distance. A dark background is always advisable to emphasize the contrast between the leaf and the background. In addition, we offer posts in wood, powder-coated steel, or masonry with brick or stone veneers.

Parking signs for Trinity Methodist

In addition to your outdoor church sign, custom parking signs provide an easy way for people to find parking when they visit your church. Having this information on hand enables visitors and newcomers to locate parking spaces. Also, suppose your church is near a local business or another area. In that case, parking signs can help prevent confusion. People could mistake the lot for someone else’s, or use your lot for other purposes when church attendees need that space to park as they go to worship.
