## Quality craftsmanship in every detail

At A Sure Sign & Design, good work is about more than a quick fix — it is about building things that last. As a family business based right here in Rye, we have spent over three decades perfecting our craft, bringing your ideas to life with real precision and care.

A foundation in the trade

### Trained by New England masters

Our skills were developed alongside some of the best craftsmen in New England. We were trained by a master instrument maker known for his incredible lathe work, and we bring that same level of focus and detail to every sign and carpentry project we build today.

We believe in doing things the right way, blending time-tested techniques with modern tools — from hand-lettered murals to carved clockfaces, everything we do is custom.

Built for the New England coast

### Quality that endures the elements

The weather here is tough on outdoor signs and storefronts. We protect every piece against the harsh weather and salt air, using professional-grade materials and finishes so your new installation or restoration stays bright and beautiful for years.

As a family-run shop, we don't hide behind corporate layers. You get a direct partnership with clear communication, honest recommendations, and a final result that lives up to our reputation.

What we do

## Our services

From hand-painted signs to full storefront renovations, we combine traditional woodworking with modern durability — a look that stands out and stays in great shape for years.

01

### Custom Woodworking

From hand-lettered murals to carved clockfaces, everything is custom. Choose the classic finish of traditional gold leafing or a budget-friendly 22k leaf vinyl alternative — we'll help you find the look that fits your style.

02

### Expert Restoration

We specialize in restoring carved woodwork and storefronts, using professional-grade cleaners and finishes to help your signs stand up to the elements — preserving the original character while making it strong again.

Made to order

## Handcrafted signs & custom wood products

Business signs, storefront signage, residential signs, and custom wood products — every piece designed to match your style, space, and needs.

01 — Restoration & Renovation

### New life for tired signs

Has your business sign seen better days? We fix carved signs with incised or 3D extruded letters and restore the wood itself when possible. Our crew knows the methods and solvents to bring back that brand-new look — scraping and repainting available for aged signs too.

02 — Business Signs

### A sign that earns the doorway

Have us design your sign or bring your own. We use old-school woodworking and lettering alongside modern techniques for exactly the look you want. On a strict budget? Our 22k leaf vinyl is an affordable alternative to traditional gold leafing — without sacrificing quality.

03 — Storefronts

### The whole front, as one

We work on standalone storefronts and those connected to other buildings. Your storefront is seen as a single unit and has a lot to do with whether customers decide to walk in. We create new storefronts and repair existing ones.

04 — Residential

### Signs for home, too

While much of our work is commercial, we're glad to craft residential signs for homeowners in the area. Ask to see past projects for ideas — and to see our dedication to detail for yourself.

05 — Custom Woodworking

### Almost anything in wood

After more than three decades, we can provide completely customized woodwork and carpentry. Small shippable items can go to clients anywhere; larger carpentry needs are handled locally within 50 miles of our shop.
