Our Signmaking History...
Do you remember when you were 7 years old and saw those great FREE offers on the back of the cereal box? Well, I always dreamed of getting whatever they were offering and that meant sending in a ridiculous amount of box tops or "reasonable facsimiles".
Jumping ahead 26 years to skip the less interesting stuff, I incorporated our company in 1993 to specialize in high quality dimensional sign work, sometimes utilizing 23kt gold, but always with an emphasis on designing with a little more flair than the other shops. The approach seems to work!
In 1994 we began experimenting with stone for a golf course project. It wasn't long before we
settled on slate as the ideal material for the job. The end result was met with rave reviews and
we soon found ourselves with requests from other course owners. After all, their wood signs last no more than 8 years, our stone signs NEVER rot, crack, or fall apart!
In 1995 we decided to expand into the residential market. The challenge was to take everything we learned from the golf course projects and develop a product that was affordable for the average homeowner. The result is largely what you will see in this website.
While we still do commercial sign work, more than 1,000 people each year order one of our carved slate signs. The fact that many of these people order again for friends and family helps reinforce our belief that we make the finest, most unique, house signs available anywhere.
Not too many people go to work each day, work with material that is already 500,000,000 years old, and know that their work could endure for millions more!
