Search on Amazon and eBay for "Personalized metal house signs".

The signs available at the markets at the town squares and Ace Hardware are plastic that are either cut by a laser or a router. Ace may have a source for a cast metal sign, but I've not seen a display for one at the store.

The classiest ones are by Whitehall, are on Amazon, and are cast aluminum finished in bronze. They sell in the $70-80 range. However, there is another vendor on Amazon with a similar cast sign that sells for under $30. There are also laser-cut metal signs in many styles, such as a dog or horse with your house numbers below the figure.

Most of the metal signs are designed to be attached to an outside wall of the house. Mounting them to the cross-bar of the lightpost will require you to drill two holes at the top of the sign and hang it by chains or a hose-clamp. Ace Hardware can help you with the mounting.

For that reason, we got a lighted sign.

There is nothing wrong with having a lighted house sign. However, anyone waiting at 3:00AM for an ambulance to arrive is going to have both the interior and exterior house lights on.

Our realtor from the Villages gave us a discount coupon

We bought ours directly from Signs by Jackie. They also attached the sign for us while we were up north. I’ve heard if you catch them at the vendor night in the squares, it’s a little less money?

@VillageTinker - How do the lighted signs work? Battery or do you need an electrical source?

(Thanks in advance!)

We have had a lighted sign by Jackie for over 12 years now. Last year we noted that our sign looked a bit faded so we went back to Jackie to buy a new one and were pleasantly surprised that they would refurbish our old sign for less than the cost of a new one. They came out and removed the old sign and about 6 weeks later reinstalled the refurbished sign. It looked brand new and we were quite happy. While the old sign was gone my other half put up a makeshift sign as our home no longer has the house numbers on the window.

We didn’t get a lighted sign because we have large numbers on our house above the garage for emergency responders to find our house. Our sign is just for decoration. We got ours from Signs by Jackie on 301 using a $50 coupon from our Villages agent. It was still pricey ($100+) after the coupon. Ace Hardware is cheaper, but with far less variety.

Do NOT go to Jackie's. They are rude and and the office in south of Wildwood where the traffic is miserable. They are not user-friendly.

Funny how others speak highly of them. Is this the first business you tried to destroy?

Yes, we regretted doing business there. The coupon was not worth subjecting ourselves to the experience.

I do think the $50 coupon triggers the rude response if you don't go with the upgrade signage sales talk.

Which kind of sign did you buy, use the coupon?
