Custom Signs in Hallsville, TX

Handmade wooden signs for Hallsville — family names, team and school pieces, farm and gate signs, and signage for businesses on Highway 80.

A town that puts its colors up

If the heart of Hallsville is in its school functions and its sport, that shows up on the walls. Team pieces for a games room, a child's bedroom or a porch. Family names and established dates. House numbers. Those are the most-asked-for signs we make for this town, and they are worth making properly in timber rather than buying printed.

A printed sign fades and curls in about three summers here. A painted board with real depth to the lettering is still up when the child it was made for has left home.

Gate and farm signs

Outside the town itself, Harrison County is rural, and gate signs are a different job from porch signs. Full sun, full weather, and usually a long way from anybody who is going to maintain them. That means timber chosen for outdoors, joints cut rather than stapled, lettering with enough depth to still read once the surface has weathered, and a finish that will take an East Texas summer.

Tell us how exposed the spot is and how far it sits from the house, and it gets built for that rather than for a covered porch.

Made in a furniture shop

These are timber pieces, not printing. Real frames, real boards, joints cut rather than stapled, and a finish put on the way a table gets finished. That is why they survive on a gatepost and why they sit properly beside good furniture indoors.

Coat racks and hooks

A close cousin of the sign work and one of the most-asked-for things in the shop. A stained board with cast hooks, cut to the length of wall you actually have, turns a back door into somewhere coats and boots go instead of the floor. They take lettering too, which makes them a sign and a coat rack at once.

Business signage on Highway 80

Hallsville's businesses sit largely along Highway 80 between Longview and Marshall, which means most of your signage is read at driving speed. That is a different job from a shopfront somebody walks up to — bigger lettering, higher contrast, and fewer words than anyone wants to use. Tell us where it goes and how it will be seen.

Ordering

Send the wording, the rough size, any colors it has to sit alongside, and a photograph of the spot. You get a price before anything is cut. Hallsville is about thirty-five minutes from the shop.
