Custom Address Signs, Made for Your House Number.

Sizes that actually read from the street

The general rule: numbers should be 1 inch tall for every 10 feet of viewing distance. A house set 30 feet back from the road needs 3-inch numbers minimum. A mailbox sign needs 4-inch numbers to be readable from a car. A driveway-entry sign for a 100-foot lane needs 10-inch numbers.

Most porch and front-door address signs run 18-24 inches wide with 4-6 inch numbers — readable for delivery drivers and emergency services without being oversized. Driveway-entry signs scale up to 36+ inches with 8-12 inch numbers and are usually mounted on welded steel posts shipped separately.

Materials matched to your facade

Modern / contemporary homes: brushed aluminum, powder-coated steel in matte black or charcoal, or copper that's been sealed before it patinas. Clean sans-serif fonts, geometric layouts.

Traditional / craftsman / colonial homes: V-carved walnut or cherry with gold or black painted numbers, hand-rubbed oil finish, marine-grade spar urethane for weather. Serif or script fonts.

Farmhouse / ranch / rustic homes: raw steel with controlled patina, plasma-cut numbers with hammered edges, distressed reclaimed wood with hand-painted numbers. Slab-serif or hand-lettered fonts.

If you're not sure what fits, message the maker with a photo of your front door and they'll mock up two or three options before you commit.
