Custom metal signs
Fabricated aluminium and steel for the jobs that need to look engineered rather than carved.
What you get
Custom metal signs, made properly
Metal earns its place where a brand reads as precise and modern, or where the sign has to take physical abuse. We fabricate aluminium and steel panels, plaques, brackets and letters, and finish them in brushed, polished, powder-coated or painted form.
Metal also does the structural work behind other materials: the posts, frames, brackets and armatures that carry carved panels are almost always steel or aluminium, welded and finished in the same shop.

Questions
Before you commission a sign
Two weeks is typical for most carved and dimensional work once the design is approved. Hand-carved and sculpted pieces, and anything with gold leaf, run four to six weeks. Permit review by your township is separate and can add several weeks, so it is worth starting early.
Yes. Most New Jersey municipalities regulate sign size, height, setback and illumination, and many require scaled drawings for zoning approval. We prepare the drawings and submit the application as part of the project.
HDU is high-density urethane — a closed-cell board that carves like clay and holds crisp detail. Unlike timber it will not rot, warp, split or absorb water, so it is the better choice for most exterior signs. We still carve solid cedar, cherry and mahogany when a client specifically wants real wood.
Genuine 23K leaf is almost pure gold, so it does not oxidise or tarnish. Properly laid and sized on a well-prepared surface, exterior gilding regularly lasts decades. Imitation leaf and gold paint will dull within a few years, which is why we use the real thing.
