FAQ

Q: Can you carve custom text or calligraphy?
A: Yes, we can carve any text, characters, or artwork. Send us your design, calligraphy, or text content, and our master carvers will create a custom plaque. We can also recommend calligraphy styles and layouts based on your preferences.

Q: What is the difference between gold leaf and painted finishes?
A: Gold leaf uses genuine 24K gold applied over a red lacquer base for a luxurious, authentic traditional look. Painted finishes use high-quality enamel or acrylic paint for a more affordable option. Both are durable and suitable for indoor or outdoor use with proper sealing.

Q: Can the plaques be used outdoors?
A: Yes, we offer weatherproof outdoor plaques with marine-grade finishes, sealed edges, and corrosion-resistant hardware. Outdoor plaques are treated with additional preservative and UV protection for long-lasting exposure to the elements.

Q: How long does a custom plaque take to produce?
A: Standard custom plaques take 10-20 days depending on size and complexity. Large storefront signs or intricate designs may take 20-40 days. Rush orders can be accommodated with prior arrangement.

Q: Do you provide mounting hardware?
A: Yes, we include appropriate mounting hardware with each plaque, including wall brackets, hanging wire, or standoffs depending on the installation type. We also provide installation instructions.

Q: Can you match an existing plaque or sign style?
A: Absolutely. Send us photos of your existing signage or desired style, and we will match the wood, finish, carving style, and dimensions for a cohesive look.
