A carved limestone address marker, set into the brick of your home by hand. One signature design, built to last for life.
Western Springs, especially the Old Town district, is brick colonial and Tudor stock where the entry detailing is the point. A carved limestone marker belongs on those elevations in a way an adhesive number never will. Homes here are large and set back, so legibility from the street is a practical matter as much as an aesthetic one, and the village's high owner-occupancy means these are people improving a house they intend to keep.
We install one thing and only one thing: an 8 inch by 16 inch marker cut from limestone 3 inches thick, with the numbers deep-carved into the face, set permanently into the brick of the house. The price is $700 to $750 installed in Western Springs and covers the stone, the carving, the masonry work and the cleanup.
Yes. Western Springs is inside our regular service area in Chicago's western suburbs. Text a photo of the front of your house to (708) 551-4270 and we will confirm the fit and give you an exact price.
$700 to $750 installed. That one price covers the limestone, the carving, the masonry installation into your brick, and the cleanup. There are no add-on fees.
No. The opening is cut cleanly to size and the stone is set with proper masonry technique, the same way lintels and sills have been set in brick walls for a century. The finished install is weather-tight.
One visit of a few hours. The stone is carved ahead of time, so installation day is only the masonry work.
Texting a photo of the front of your house is the fastest way to an exact quote.
