Allweather Wood's Durable Signage Helps American National Bank Weather the Storm (and Look Great Doing It)

Santa Rosa, CA – November 8, 2023 – You might not think much about bank signs, but at Allweather Wood LLC, we do. We’re a little company tucked away in Santa Rosa, California, at 3700 Old Redwood Hwy, Ste 200, and we specialize in making seriously tough, beautiful wood signs – the kind that last. And recently, we were proud to deliver a standout sign for American National Bank. Now, we’re not a huge, flashy corporation. We’re a team of dedicated craftspeople – you can reach us at 617-951-4512 if you’re curious. We started Allweather Wood because we were tired of seeing flimsy, cheap signs that fall apart after a few years. Banks, especially, need signs that project stability and trustworthiness. A peeling, cracked sign doesn’t exactly scream “secure your finances here!” That’s where we come in. We build our signs to withstand, well, all weather. Hence the name! We’re talking scorching sun, freezing temperatures, driving rain, even the occasional hail – we’ve seen it all here in California. We don’t use those thin, easily warped materials. We source high-quality, naturally durable woods, and then we build things right. So, what did we create for American National Bank? It wasn’t just a sign; it was the sign. A prominent, exterior sign, specifically designed to be mounted above one of their branches. We're talking about a bold, impactful piece that clearly identifies the bank and welcomes customers. Here’s the breakdown: Material: We used a thick, premium grade redwood, chosen for its natural resistance to rot, decay, and insects. Redwood’s a California staple, and we’re proud to work with local materials whenever possible. It's not just about durability; redwood has a gorgeous, warm look that adds a touch of class. Construction: Forget flimsy plywood. This sign is solid redwood, meticulously assembled with weather-resistant adhesives and reinforced with hidden internal supports. We’re talking about a sign that’s built to last decades, not just a few seasons. Each piece of wood was carefully selected and inspected for quality. Lettering & Branding: The American National Bank logo and lettering were expertly routed into the wood using our precision CNC machine. This creates a clean, crisp, and three-dimensional effect that really pops. We then filled the routed letters with a durable, UV-resistant acrylic paint, ensuring long-lasting vibrancy and legibility. We worked closely with the bank’s marketing team to ensure the colors perfectly matched their brand guidelines. Finish: We didn't just leave the wood raw. We applied a multi-coat, marine-grade sealant. This protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear. It also enhances the natural beauty of the redwood, bringing out its rich grain and color. It’s a clear coat, so it doesn't alter the bank’s branding, just preserves it. Size & Scale: The sign is substantial – large enough to be easily visible from a distance, but not so large that it overwhelms the building’s architecture. We worked with the bank’s architects to determine the optimal size and placement for maximum impact. Why did American National Bank choose Allweather Wood? We asked them, and here’s what they told us: they wanted a sign that reflected their commitment to quality, stability, and long-term relationships. They were tired of replacing signs every few years and wanted an investment that would stand the test of time. They appreciated our attention to detail, our commitment to using high-quality materials, and our ability to deliver a custom solution that met their specific needs. “We were really impressed with the craftsmanship,” said Sarah Miller, the branch manager at the location. “It’s not just a sign; it’s a statement. It tells our customers that we’re a solid, reliable institution.” Beyond Bank Signage: What Else Does Allweather Wood Do?
