What does a slate sign cost?
It depends on the piece, the lettering and the finish. Tell us what you have in mind and we will give you a clear price.
Do you paint or gild the letters?
Yes. We paint or gild cut letters by hand, so the lettering reads clearly.
Will it last outdoors?
We work good riven slate and cut and finish each piece to stand up to the weather, and we will advise on the setting.
Do you cut house signs to order?
Yes. We draw and cut house names and numbers in slate by hand. Tell us the words and we will advise and prepare a quote.
Is the lettering cut by hand?
Yes. We draw and cut every letter by hand with the chisel, not sand-blasted or machine-engraved.
Do you cut commemorative pieces?
Yes. We cut commemorative and memorial pieces in slate, carefully lettered and finished to keep.
