Our Story
A Tradition of Craftsmanship
Making a Lasting Impression Since 1988
New England Sign Carvers has been helping businesses around New England and beyond make an impression since 1988. We specialize in hand-carved, gold-leafed signs, producing the finest carved signs for businesses, developments, churches, homes, and boats.
A well-designed, attractive sign is one of the most cost-effective forms of advertising. A carved sign not only draws attention but presents a distinctive image that sets a business apart — often the customer's very first impression.
Hand-carved signs are traditional with contemporary appeal. Their beauty is unmatched in sign-making, and when properly constructed, their durability is exceptional. Hand carving allows near-limitless flexibility and design versatility, which is why many businesses and professionals prefer carved signs for interior and exterior use.

Craftsmanship & Materials
With over 30 years of experience, we have the skill and technical knowledge to produce signs of exceptional quality and beauty.
At every step, only the highest standards of craftsmanship are maintained. Because we specialize in carved signs and are set up to produce them efficiently, high standards are retained while keeping prices competitive.
All signs use high-density urethane (HDU) unless wood is specifically requested. HDU is ideal for carved signs because it weathers well and won't rot or check like wood — it's also excellent for carving and holding paint.
Signs are finished with a high-build acrylic primer formulated for HDU, then topcoated with several layers of premium acrylic paint for durability and color retention.
