Visit us here in beautiful Pinehurst North Carolina and
make your own house or home sign
Why not make a road trip for a long weekend.
We will help you design a beautiful carved or sandblasted home sign, and assist you with the complete creation of that sign from design to finish, in our sign studio conveniently located just 4 miles from the center of the beautiful Village of Pinehurst in central North Carolina.
Just think how satisfying it would be to have a beautiful sign outside your home or farm and be able to tell your friends in complete truth that you made it yourself with your own hands.
Three Maples is a Mountain Cabin sign
It can be as simple as one of our standard cast sign blanks which you can paint and letter, or it can be as complex as a carved wooden or HDU (high-density urethane) multi-level sign with a hand (or machine) carved emblem or logo.
The "Allen" sign is a cast generic sign blank from our selection of over 20 ready-made sign-blanks we have in our studio. The letters and emblem were cut on our laser, as was the fisherman. it was a simple project to put them all together & paint them.

"Carolina on my mind" is a beach house sign
We can help you with bits and pieces while you do everything else or you can sit back and watch us make the sign for you from start to finish with you just helping with some of the more simple parts under our direction.
"Forever Young" and "Nied-a-Rest" are Lake House signs
Prices can range from $100.00 dollars to $2000.00 Although the majority cost between $300-$700 if we produce them for you.
The cost for you to produce your own sign depends totally on:
- The time it takes to get the design right
- The complexity of the sign (How many different processes we have to go through to produce it).
- Size and shape
- Type of material its made from
- The amount and type of paints used.
- Whether any gilding is required
You should be prepared to spend three days with us although during that time there will be plenty of time for sightseeing and whatever else you would like to do. The reason for this is that there has to be time for the numerous coats of paint to dry. 2-3 hours between each and we apply at least 5 coats.
The last two clients that worked with us to create their signs took 2 days and 3 days respectively
We charge $55.00/hr when we are actively working with you on your sign we do not charge you when we are working with other customers so the average cost of making your own sign is about $350-$450 however you should end up with a sign that would normally cost 50-100% more than that as we usually produce more complex signs when people are working on their own project
