Questions

How much does a custom metal sign cost?

Pieces start at $40. The final price depends on the size and how much detail is in the design. Send your idea and Mario will reply with a price, usually within a day or two. Shipping, if you need it, is extra.

How long does a custom order take?

Usually 2 to 3 weeks.

Can you make a sign from my own drawing, photo, or logo?

Yes. Send a sketch, a photo, a logo, or just describe it, and Mario will work out the design with you. Most of the pieces on this site started that way.

Will a steel sign rust outside, and what finishes do you offer?

There are three finishes: raw, painted and patina. Raw is bare steel, and outdoors it will rust over time. Painted covers the steel in paint. Patina gives it an aged, rust-brown look on purpose. Say where the piece will live and Mario can help you pick.

Do you ship, or is it pickup in Fresno only?

Both. Pick it up in Fresno, or have it shipped. The shipping cost depends on the size and where it is going.

Do you take business and commercial orders?

Yes. Mario makes pieces for homes and businesses, from one-off signs to logos cut in steel. The shop sells finished pieces and does not do on-site installation.
