Welcome to the place for handcrafted signs in the Cape Cod tradition, featuring the highest quality dimensional carved and gilded signs for discriminating business, municipal and residential clients. Whether you are buying a sign for the first time or are an old hand at it, we'd like to set a new standard of efficiency, style, and satisfaction. Our goal is to produce a select body of award-winning, satisfying work that stands out and gets us both noticed - Us and You!
To do that, we strive to inform you of the benefits of good design and spend the necessary time to ensure our best creative energies have gone into proposing each and every job we do. That doesn't mean a sign from us will be more expensive. On the contrary, a well designed and thought out sign saves money because it uses only the necessary square footage, materials, techniques, and bells-and-whistles needed to get the desired final effect so you can make the most efficient use of every production dollar.
That's the measure of true value.

I'm doing it all myself now, but that's not a bad thing.
Because of the availability of CNC vendors who can take any file I throw at them and output a perfect result robotically, the design of things is more critical than ever and that's exactly where I SHINE!
Not to brag too much, but virtually ALL of the work portrayed on this site are original creations.
After doing this since the 1980's I've mastered the computer skills to match my creative eye, allowing me to take a client's ideas, apply fundamental design principals, and transform them into solid, functional, practical plans.

How We Sell

When we take on a new project our first goal is to learn what you wish to accomplish with the sign and familiarize ourselves with any special site conditions or permitting constraints.
We'll take notes, share samples, discuss sizes, and answer any questions you might have about signs.
We will also discuss some budget guidelines at this first meeting - critical for steering you quickly into the right method of fabrication.
Then we begin the research and design phase.
We must confirm that the sign you want will fit the town's sign code, and if you are in a historic district, keep in mind the special restrictions and quirks of the committees that must grant approval.

What is good design

It elicits a gut response from you.
While this might be subconscious, it is always at work.
Designers are always playing with this facet of our craft, trying to fine-tune the correct feel to a piece.
When it feels right it will look right.
When dealing with a designer it is good for you to have a sense of how you feel about the product being promoted, or better yet, how you want the viewing public to feel about it.
Is it powerful, strong, industrial strength?
Or is it elegant, refined and dainty?

What is a custom sign
Report
Anything that's personalized just for you verses "off the shelf" is, by definition, custom.
That covers just about every kind of sign you could need.
But for the purposes of this discussion, lets define custom signs as those that exceeds the norm.
Those that utilize a higher level of design input, extra care and craftsmanship in their fabrication, additional steps taken to produce something more unique, use of specialized techniques and exotic or premium materials, creating a final product that is visibly a cut-above.
