Custom Distressed Steel Sign FAQs

Distressed steel is standard steel that’s been intentionally aged or weathered to create a rugged, industrial appearance. Unlike smooth or polished steel, it features textures, color variations, and natural imperfections like rust or patina. This finish gives signage a vintage, handcrafted feel that adds personality and character to any space.

Yes, distressed steel signs can be used outdoors, especially when sealed with a protective clear coat. The weathered look naturally integrates with outdoor environments, and controlled rust or patina can act as a protective layer. For longevity, we recommend a sealant to preserve the look and protect the metal from further corrosion.

Absolutely! Distressed steel offers a bold, sophisticated contrast when paired with clean design elements. It works beautifully in modern, industrial, or boutique interiors and adds authenticity and depth to upscale branding. Many luxury brands use distressed materials to convey character, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal in a contemporary setting.

Excellent service, great product, quick turn around time. Have 4 retail stores, Shieldco has provided signs for two of our stores. Hands down the best metal design and product on the market. Thanks guys.

H

I have to say that our sign stands out from our neighbors. It’s sleek, simple, and it has a world-class feel to it. Best of all, Luke and the team at ShieldCo delivers a phenomenal customer service experience. Definitely a value driven company!

Excellent workmanship and customer service! These guys delivered a beautiful custom metal storefront sign for my small business. Durable and eye catching. I’ll definitely use them again for my next custom signage project.

ShieldCo did a wonderful job on our signage for both of our dental offices. We had a very large order with a total of 13 signs ranging from small to very large. They kept us in the loop throughout the fabrication process and did a GREAT job packing everything for shipping. We have gotten multiple compliments about out sign and we will be ordering some signs for interior use in near future. Highly recommend

Kasra Hedayat

Everything worked out great. The customer service was excellent and the shipping process was seamless. They took EXTRA care to make sure my sign was packaged properly and delivered on time. I love the final product. Would definitely recommend!

Michael Simpson

From design and feedback to iterations, production, and delivery—ShieldCo gave me an outstanding experience. Their custom signage was also incredibly easy to install. I highly recommend them for their quality, professionalism, and seamless service!

We had a great experience working with Ian during our very specific search for a custom sign. As a remodeling company, our needs were a bit out of the ordinary, and we spent quite a bit of time collaborating with him to get it just right. Ian was patient, responsive, and willing to pivot when we presented an alternative plan for a sample. That flexibility resulted in a win-win for both parties – a deposit on a solid order and a new repeat customer.

If you’re looking for a sign company that takes the time to understand your vision and won’t stop until it’s exactly what you want, we highly recommend ShieldCo. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is exactly how all businesses should operate!

I search everywhere locally in GA and could not find anyone to take my design and turn it into my vision. Then I found ShiedCo online. I asked for it to be cut out of metal. They suggested adding the copper plate behind it. The quality is outstanding. I added my own lights, they would have done a better job I’m sure, but that was my call. Still, it turned out exactly what I wanted.
I gave it to my husband for Christmas for our basement bar. The bar is being built in June but here it is on the wall waiting for the bar to open.

Lori Konen

The City of Las Vegas is proud to add Shield Co to our list of “go to” vendors. From the beginning of the project to delivery the experience was top notch. The staff was very helpful at every step of the process. We were able to achieve what we were looking for and then some. ShieldCo’s signs will hang for years to come. The quality is well above expectations.

MC

Michael Campbell

We are extremely happy with our sign! Right off the bat, Erin was a pleasure to work with. She took our logo and came up with a beautiful design. I appreciated that we were provided with a 3D rending along with the initial quote, which allowed me to easily present to my leadership team for fast approval. The sign is of great quality and looks absolutely beautiful. The owner, Luke, even reached out to me personally to check in on my experience and make sure I was happy with the final product.

CS

Charissa Stober

I ordered a sign for our church and it came out so beautiful! They worked with the design to fit our budget and achieve our goal… and it was worth every penny! 100% would work with them again when we need another sign!

JG

John Gagne

Exceptional experience. These guys are top notch from the communication, to design and to delivery. We love the new sign and would definitely recommend their service’s.
