You can think about sign painting or mural work like cars; not all models are the same or have the same level of excellence and your budget will determine what level of design should be applied.

A: Gilding refers to the process and application of gold leaf, which can be applied to windows and surfaces for an elegant and impactful effective that catches light and attention no other medium can.

Q: Do you hang signs or offer permits?

A: At the moment I am solely focused on painting and fabricating, but I can connect you with a licensed sign installer to make sure your sign is hung safely and securely, depending on your local permitting requirements. You can obtain your own permit through your local municipality or I can obtain one for an additional fee.
