Making Your Stoop Shine

Aimee did our place as well in FG. We are very happy with her work. She uses real gold leaf or gold paint depending on yr budget. I honestly can’t remember her exact price. I think it was around $300. We took pix of our house numbers that we like and also a pix of the front of our house. She photoshops a mockup of the sizes and fonts that you choose and lets you approve it before she gets started. I think she mocked up something like 3 or 4 before we settled on ours.
Thanks Steve for posting the notice! My name is Aimee German, sign painter, gilder. I have done many addresses on brownstones and store front signs in Brooklyn. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want to see more samples. I have reasonable rates and do a precise job. I take a digital picture of your doorway and then “photoshop” different fonts and styles in so you can decide what it will look like before I begin. Thanks for your time and interest.
I saw this persons work on the fort green garden tour last year and they looked great. The owner Paul Palazzo said they weren’t cheap-but good!
