Why Hand-Painted Signs?

Because they last. Because they matter. Because machines don’t make memories—people do.

In a world full of plastic and peel-and-stick signs, a hand-painted sign stands tall. It tells a story. It shows care, craftsmanship, and character. Every brushstroke is intentional. Every letter drawn, not printed.

Vinyl fades. It bubbles. It peels. But paint—real paint, laid down by a steady hand—ages with grace. It earns its wear. It becomes part of the building, part of the business, part of the community.

If you’re looking for something fast and forgettable, this isn’t it. But if you’re after something timeless—something made to last—welcome. You’re in the right place at Saved Signs.

Interior or exterior, wall murals are where bold ideas meet brick, plaster, or stucco. These aren’t stickers or digital prints—they’re painted by hand, the old way, with brushes, buckets, and a scaffold if need be. Whether you’re after a full storefront mural that stops traffic or something timeless indoors—like a classic emblem, a brand statement, or a full-room scene—every job is custom-designed and tailored to you.

From restaurants and retail spaces to old barns and brick warehouses, murals transform blank walls into landmarks that are impossible to ignore.

Bring your vintage treasures back to life with a complete, meticulous restoration. Whether it’s a weathered metal sign, a nostalgic picnic cooler, or a classic vending machine, each piece is treated with the care and attention it deserves.

For metal signs, I carefully strip away years of wear, remove rust, and eliminate any corrosion, restoring the surface to its original smoothness. The sign is then repainted using period-accurate techniques and colors, ensuring it reflects the craftsmanship of the original while preserving its vintage charm.

For picnic coolers and vending machines, I go beyond surface-level repairs. I fully remove all rust and corrosion, restoring both the exterior and interior. Once the rust is gone, I refinish the surfaces to restore the original look and functionality—whether it’s for display or practical use. Every hinge, handle, and part is carefully restored or replaced, so it looks and operates like it just rolled off the factory floor.

This isn’t about just fixing—it’s about reviving a piece of history, preserving its unique character, and ensuring it lasts another lifetime.

Calligraphy is the art of beautiful, expressive lettering — crafted entirely by hand using specialty pens, nibs, and inks. Unlike digital fonts, every letter is formed with intention and care, giving it a unique rhythm and character that simply can’t be replicated by a computer.

When you hire Addison for calligraphy, you’re getting more than just handwriting — you’re investing in a timeless craft that elevates the way your message is seen and felt. Whether it’s elegant envelope addressing, a custom quote for your wall, or signage for a special event, my calligraphy adds warmth, personality, and polish that makes a lasting impression.

This is the kind of detail people notice. It slows them down. It makes them feel something.

Nothing captures the charm of old-school advertising like a handmade chalkboard. Whether it’s for your café menu, event signage, or a storefront display, I create custom chalkboards that stand out with personality and style. Each one is hand-drawn with care, using quality chalkboard paint and vibrant, erasable chalk.

From bold lettering to intricate designs, these chalkboards are more than just a surface—they’re a flexible, eye-catching piece of art that can be updated as often as you need. Perfect for businesses that want a classic look with a modern twist, or for anyone looking to add a touch of nostalgia to their space.
