Your Custom Ranch Sign Starts Here

From first contact to sign in your hands, most orders take 4–6 weeks. Design is about a week (depending on revisions), production runs 3–5 weeks after you approve. Rush orders available for an additional fee.

Yes — that's the whole point of the 10% deposit. It reserves time with Leah so she can draw your sign from scratch. You see the design before any steel is cut. If you don't love it, the deposit comes right back.

Two rounds of revisions are included. If you're still not happy, your 10% design deposit is fully refundable. We don't cut steel until you've approved the final design. You're never locked into something you don't love.

We use 12-gauge steel (0.105" thick) — that's 78% thicker than the 16-gauge most competitors use. Our signs are built to last decades, not years.

Yes. Ranch brands, logos, sketches, photos of your animals — send them over and Leah will work them into the layout. Very small or intricate elements (under 1 inch) may need to be simplified slightly for clean cutting.

Black matte powder coat is the default and by far the most popular. The dark silhouette against sky or wood posts is the classic ranch entrance look. Other powder coat colors are available — just ask.

It depends on your environment. In most climates the finish holds up well for many years. Signs in direct desert sun or high-salt coastal areas will show wear sooner than signs in cooler, drier climates.

The powder coat is a protective finish — it's not permanent, but the 12-gauge steel underneath is built to last decades. If your finish ever needs refreshing down the road, any local powder coater can re-coat it.

Our lifetime structural guarantee covers the steel and the welds — if a weld fails or the steel breaks, we make it right. The guarantee is on craftsmanship, not on cosmetic wear from weather exposure. The sign itself is built to outlast the posts it hangs on.

Free. Anywhere in the lower 48 states. Custom crated to prevent damage. Signs over 8 feet may ship via freight — we handle all the logistics at no extra charge. Alaska and Hawaii shipments are quoted separately.

We build the steel sign and its mounting hardware. The wooden posts, crossbeam, and concrete work are handled by your local contractor or you. Most customers use 6x6 or round timber posts set in concrete. We can advise on spacing and height.

Bethany is your main point of contact — she handles quoting, questions, and keeps you updated throughout the process. Leah is our lead designer who draws your sign from scratch. Brad and Carley own and run the shop. We're a real team in a real shop in Bozeman, Montana — not a website with a form and a prayer.

Bozeman, Montana. J Dub's was founded in 1980 by Jerry Bement. Brad and Carley bought the business when Jerry retired and run the full production shop today — laser cutting, welding, powder coating, and shipping from the same location.

10% on multi-sign orders. 10% veteran discount for those who have served. Beyond that, our pricing is our pricing — we don't negotiate or price match. The quality of steel, design, and finish is something we refuse to cut corners on.
