Greetings friends,
I'm a Navy Veteran that started carving signs after retiring from the military. As I continue to enjoy the craft the most rewarding thing for me is to know that someone really loved what I created for them. To me, one of the most important things is not only to provide a great piece of art but also great customer service. Every sign I make, is made for a friend not a customer. When I design and carve a sign I do it the way I cook food for my loved ones, with the heart and soul.
Most of the signs I make are made out of redwood and occasionally cedar and pine, however, before a sign can be carved the wood has to be seasoned to the appropriate moisture content. All wood is hand selected and thanks to mother nature every sign has its unique grain pattern which makes every sign one of a kind. Some signs may even include a knot or two which adds a little more character to your piece.
I have a variation of colors to choose but the most common signs are made with black letters or backgrounds. Logos and pictures can also be painted (usually hand painted) so if you don't see something you like in my samples, please ask. A higher percentage of signs are custom made so they are made with the collaboration between you the customer and myself. All signs will be coated with at least three coats of indoor/outdoor protective coating to protect your sign from the elements. Eye hooks and small rope are provided for you to be able to hang your sign as soon as you receive it. Signs will be completed between 7-14 days from day of payment. All efforts will be done to complete your project as soon as possible.
Please check out my Facebook page to see some of my work, if you want something different please contact me so we can start working on your project. Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day.

    The sign we received was amazing.. It is the perfect fit for our cabin. The added touch of it being hand carved was just what we love about our piece.. Thank you for such a great sign for a cabin that has been around for 100+ years!

    I thought my procrastination was going to get the best of me, again, but Raul Padilla was amazing to work with! There are not enough words to describe the amazing customer service and attention he puts into the details. I received the product, a customized sign for a housewarming gift, it is outstanding and I received it one week before the party. Thank you Raul Padilla! Very Grateful, Susie M. .

    Excellent - 100% satisfied. I gave the conceptual idea to Raul and he came back with exactly what I had in mind. I was then on a short delivery window and Raul was able to finish and complete prior to my request for a delivery date Great job - quality was top notch

    I chose Raul at Robles Custom signs out of 10+ other makers that responded to my project idea. I made my decision by viewing some of his work from his profile. Let me say after working with him on my idea, I would chose him over 1000 artist any day. His work is truly and art and skill beyond normal carpentery work. He took the time to communicate with me on how I wanted my sign to look and sent me example drawings several times to make sure we both were on the same page. The final product (sign) i received was way beyond what I imagined. The detail and craftmanship is phenomenol. If you happen to be reading this review prior to chosing someone for your project, look not further as you won't be disapointed!

    Raul Padilla at Robles Custom Signs just did an amazing job for us. A few years ago, we almost lost our son to advanced neurological Lyme disease. He and his lovely wife fell in love with the words to the song, What Faith Can Do, by Kutless. Raul took an idea of ours and presented options to help us get these lovely words hand carved into beautiful red wood. The artistry, communication, professionalism and just sheer artistry created a unique sign/art work that our family will treasure for years to come. Raul, sent ideas, gave us options, shared the progress, turned it around rather quickly given the work needing to be done on such a beautiful peace. Great value---but most of all just amazing and breathe taking art work. The finishing touches were so appreciated and it is a treasure! THANK YOU RAUL, you made this a wonderful experience for us.

    I'm so happy with the sign that Raul made for me. It looks amazing! You can tell that he took his time with it and he put what I was thinking into the sign. I even changed things up on him from the initial plan and he was so flexible about it. If I ever want another sign made I plan on using Raul again.

    Raul was excellent to work with and the quality of his work is excellent. Since we installed the sign, many people have commented about how attractive it is, expecially his hand painted image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I recommend him HIGHLY. Rev. Carlton Beever, St. Mary Catholic Church

    Raul made a custom sign for me that I gave to a friend for her birthday and she loves it! He took my design and made it come to reality flawlessly. His communication with me was frequent and he was very mindful of all my opinions and ideas. He began working on my project immediately and completed it in a little over a week from our first contact. I am extremely impressed with the efficiency and the quality of the product and I would recommend him to anyone! I will definitely be going to him again if I have any other projects in mind.
