Routed & Sandblasted Signs

Routed & Sandblasted Signs Near Marietta, GA

Routed and sandblasted signs offer a classic, dimensional look that stands out in any setting. At Marietta Signs, we design and craft custom carved signage for businesses, neighborhoods, schools, and churches across Marietta, Woodstock, Roswell, Alpharetta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, Canton, Cartersville, and throughout Metro Atlanta. These signs combine timeless aesthetics with durable materials to give your property a distinguished appearance.

 

What Is a Routed Sign?

A routed sign is created by carving letters, logos, or designs directly into the face of a solid panel using a CNC router. This process produces crisp edges and dimensional depth that can’t be achieved with flat printing. Routed panels are typically made from HDU (high-density urethane), wood, or acrylic composites, which are durable and weather-resistant. The recessed areas can be painted or finished to create contrast, giving the sign a polished, professional appearance. Many clients pair routed panels with Monument Signs for a permanent, eye-catching entrance.

What Is a Sandblasted Sign?

Sandblasted signs use high-pressure sand to carve away background material, leaving raised letters, logos, or patterns. This technique reveals texture, such as the natural grain of cedar or redwood, or a faux-grain effect when using HDU. Sandblasted signs are known for their handcrafted feel and are especially popular for subdivision entrances, community centers, and churches across Woodstock, Acworth, and Powder Springs.

Materials and Finishes

We select weather-resistant substrates that handle Georgia’s sun and humidity, then finish them with durable paints or protective coatings. Routed HDU is especially popular for its longevity and ability to hold fine details. Sandblasted redwood and cedar provide a natural grain pattern, while faux wood HDU panels offer the look without the maintenance. For illuminated projects, routed panels can be paired with Cabinet Signs to highlight your design at night.

Applications Across Metro Atlanta

These signs are widely used for neighborhood entrances in Woodstock, Acworth, and Powder Springs, civic buildings in Roswell and Alpharetta, and schools or churches in Smyrna, Cartersville, and Sandy Springs. If your project also requires interior branding, we can carry the look indoors with Interior Office Signs and ensure compliance with ADA Braille & Tactile Signs.

Design, Permitting, and Installation

Our team handles everything from concept sketches to final installation. We provide permitting support in Cobb, Cherokee, Fulton, Bartow, and Paulding counties, fabricate your sign in-house, and install it on a proper foundation. Many property managers also add Post & Panel Signs for wayfinding or temporary leasing while the main routed sign is being built.

Related Options

If your property is near busy corridors like Johnson Ferry Road or Cobb Parkway, pairing a carved entry sign with Channel Letters or Digital Reader Boards maximizes visibility. For new developments, we also design Banners and Vehicle Graphics & Wraps to extend your branding during launch campaigns.

Pricing depends on size, materials, and design complexity. Smaller signs can start around $500–$1,000, while larger, highly detailed, or multi-color projects may range from $2,000 to $5,000 or more. We provide free custom quotes.
