a wooden sign is mature, self-respecting, & sophisticated,
What makes wood so special ?
When your potential customers pass by, your handcrafted wooden sign can say so much about your business.
Care & Detail – A handcrafted sign gives your customers the impression that you are personally involved in your business. All the way down to the minor details. You put love, thought, and detail into the work that you do.
Natures Touch (Non-Mechanical) – With mechanical, plastic, and other “cold” types of modern signage being the norm, a wooden sign stands out as something, warmer, more human, and more relatable to the customer.
“Historical” Look – Wooden signs are a nod back to the early days of signage, suggesting that your business is well-run enough to have lasted over the decades and that your history is one of prosperity.
High-Quality Materials – We use high quality locally sourced materials at Squamish Valley Sign Co. This allows this sign to become the unique “face” of your business to the public for many years to come.
Why Choose Wood?
Cedar is a far more environmentally friendly option being biodegradable, but the process in which they’ve been created has a significantly smaller carbon footprint than standard metal and plastic signs plus, it wont end up in land-fill!
Cedar sandblasted signs have an amazing aesthetic. Not only does the rustic nature of the signs emit a wholesome ambiance but it also compliments the beautiful architecture and surrounding nature that can be found along the Corridor.
By supporting a local business that sources locally produced timber and materials to fabricate signage straight to your company. This puts money back into the community and keeping it in the community helps us all to grow and prosper!
Depending on your location in Whistler or Squamish not only will your business stand out but you’ll also be adhering to local signage regulations and bylaws!
Already bug and rot-resistant, individual boards of Cedar have been Kiln dried and prepared with products that will withstand everything the elements have to throw at it.
Laser
Etching!
We at Squamish Valley Sign Co offer laser etching on wood. The esthetic lends really well to upmarket brands and works seamlessly on designs with more intricate areas.
Laser etching is also eco-friendly because it burns the graphic directly into the wood, using no extra materials that can end up as waste.

WHY CEDAR, OVER ANY OTHER WOOD?
We’re big on community and because of this we only purchase locally produced Cedar for your sign, which in turn helps the local economy. As the wood is native to Northwestern America and Southwest Canada, it also has a natural resistance to moisture, rot, and insects.
Red Cedar also has a beautiful natural grain that is exposed once blasted, creating an effect matched by no other technique.
