Questions
What materials do you use for your wooden signs?
We use Western Red Cedar, Eastern Red Cedar, and Northern White Cedar for their durability and weather resistance. These woods maintain structural integrity while accepting stains and paints effectively.

Yes, we welcome custom requests beyond our standard offerings. Email us with specific ideas for shapes, artwork, or text arrangements. Our team works to realize your unique vision.
How long does production take?
Standard orders ship within 7-10 business days. Holiday periods may extend timelines. Custom projects receive priority handling with communication about expected completion dates.
Do you offer international shipping?
Yes, we ship to Canada and the UK with additional shipping cost calculations. Contact us for specific international rate information before placing orders.
What if there's an error on my sign?
We correct our mistakes at no charge. For customer-initiated errors discovered post-delivery, we offer discounted remake services to ensure satisfaction with final products.
Are your signs suitable for outdoor use?
All signs use weather-resistant cedar with protective finishes. For prolonged outdoor exposure, we recommend applying Helmsman Spar Urethane Clear Gloss to maintain appearance and longevity.
