You can make a spacing tape, a 1" wide strip of paper that has the bottom of the letters marked, tape to wall and apply letters. Gemini had these, you can see how they work on their site. The other thing is to do a paper "stencil" and cut out the letters. No need for centers.

Straight line?

I think the striping would be about $100 And you forgot sales time, travel time and cleaning the surface. You guys kick butt, because I think it would take me and a helper about an hour just to lay out the stripe unless it was following a molding or paint line. We usually put down a tape line to...

Maybe it's different for a plain gold stripe, but this is the Signgold with black outline that we use and it has a clear that traps the line.

That's for the 14" signgold that gets cut. Maybe I'm wrong, but I could swear the signgold striping already has a clear that seals the edge. I'm going to see if I have some around.

Not crazy, but does striping need edge sealing? I thought it was good to go as is. If I had to seal I would use a cast clear to trap it.

Hi Jim, good to see you back here. As for those signs, I haven't seen anything like it before. Unfortunately there were a lot of short lived ADA/Office sign system vendors back in the 80/90s or they could be custom. But maybe somebody here will recognize them. By the way, take good care of...

Photos are worth a thousand words, I would also expect replacement

Some white acrylic chaulk to fill the voids

From the Gemini catalog Finish Notes: All Patinas, by their very nature, will vary from letter to letter and order to order. These finishes will change in appearance over time depending on contact with moisture and temperature. Patinas can “bleed” onto the installation surface when installed...

They can't make a pattern once the letters are shipped, a PITA to do it yourself, but not the end of the world. Like was said, are you sure it was on your order confirmation? As for the patina, photos would help to see how bad it is. I've always been pretty satisfied with Gemini.

Maybe Triplet & Souvenir

Serpentine & Windsor?

With 30" letters I would do combo/all and lots of silicone on stucco

I used to use a similar font when hand lettering, the old timers called it "Stovepipe" You could layout the whole thing using the width of a ruler or yardstick.

I never liked the way a sign looks screwed flat to a sloped mansard roof. We make a couple triangles from slotted steel and paint them the same color as the roof. These are bolted to the roof, thru bolts if possible, if not solidly screwed into whatever the studs are, and sometimes if there is a...

Unless the faces are almost new, replace

Why a new sign? Is the name changing? The old one doesn't look that bad in the photo (at least the material doesn't look bad). If it has to be replaced a carved sign should be the first suggestion. If budget isn't there then at least a thick sign so it doesn't look cheap. I would probably do a...

I like the idea.
