Custom Metal Signage
Engineered steel and copper signage designed to last decades. Built for Michigan weather and modeled in 3D before a single cut is made.
With a commercial machine design background, Jesse at Cline Custom Creations approaches every custom sign not just as an art piece, but as an engineering project. From business facades to farm and estate address signs, we build metal signage that becomes a permanent part of your property's identity.
Engineered for Durability & Impact
Most sign shops can print a nice-looking graphic. Few can engineer a physical structure that withstands decades of outdoor exposure while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. We specialize in working with raw materials like aluminum, steel, and copper, applying custom finishes ranging from rust patinas to clear coats, and ensuring every piece is structurally sound and mounting-ready.
Materials & Capabilities
- Aluminum: Lightweight, rust-proof, ideal for large commercial facades.
- Cold Rolled Steel: Heavy-duty, perfect for industrial looks and custom patinas.
- Copper: Elegant, timeless, and ages beautifully with natural weathering.
- Reflective Materials: Night-rated visibility for commercial and roadside applications.
- 3D Modeling: Every complex sign is modeled in 3D first so you can approve the exact look and proportions before fabrication begins.
- Blueprint Capable: We can work directly from architectural blueprints or engineering spec sheets.
Ideal Applications
Commercial & Business
Storefront signs, interior lobby logos, directional signage, and industrial facility markers.
Farms & Estates

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a custom metal sign take to build?
Timelines vary based on complexity, but typical signage projects take 2-4 weeks from final design approval to delivery.
Do you handle the installation?
We provide custom engineered mounting hardware and detailed installation instructions. For large local projects within our 60-mile radius, we can discuss installation assistance.
Will the sign rust over time?
That depends on the material and finish you choose. We can use aluminum or clear-coated steel to prevent rust, or we can intentionally apply a rust patina and seal it for a specific aesthetic.
Can you match my company's logo exactly?
Yes. We use precision laser cutting and 3D modeling to faithfully recreate your branding in metal.
What is the largest sign you can make?
We can fabricate signs in modular sections to accommodate almost any size requirement for commercial buildings.
