Anybody know where I can get house numbers that are written out and in script a.k.a. writing, not printing?

I've seen a few houses with this. Usually in black, no backing. Are these usually plastic or metal? And what's the price range?

Just had mine done last year. Cost was under $100, it was on Granite and they had several different typesets. They actually did a good job installed. I will ask the wife to see if she can find their advertisement!!!!

Go to Restoration Hardware (Yonge/Eglinton) they have numbers in different text types and sizes.

It will cost you a few extra dollars per number.

Any cheaper option? Not too worried about what material its made from as long as it'll stand the weather.

Not looking for numbers or individual letters. Looking for the house number written out. Key word: written, not printed. Most likely will have to be a custom job.

You do realize this doesn't increase the value of your house? Unless you are having it written on a rock that will sit on your front lawn, you are better off just gettingthe illuminated ones off ebay or something.

I wish more businesses and houses would have their numbers up and visible, not more annoying than driving around looking for a place and you can't find the number :mad:

Hahah. No I'm not a Mo-Ron. Lets just say we have a house number that doesn't look good in number form.

Written letters are the big thing here in Old Oakville, all the nouveau-riche do it after they put up a monster home.

Its good to see that even in the Home&Garden forum, threads can degenerate to this. LOL!
