Hand-Painted Window Advertising

Your windows are the biggest advertising space you already own, and most businesses leave them blank. Hand-painted glass turns them into a message that changes as often as your season, your sale or your hiring does.

Painted, not printed

Vinyl graphics have to be designed, printed, shipped and applied, and the moment your message changes you pay for the whole cycle again. That cost is why so many storefronts run the same tired decal for three years.

Painted glass is done on site in a single visit, it comes off cleanly, and repainting is cheap enough that changing it six times a year is a normal thing to do rather than a budget conversation.

It also looks hand-made, because it is. In a row of printed decals, a painted window is the one people photograph.

What goes on the glass

Hand-lettered pricing and offers, seasonal illustration, holiday scenes, hiring notices, grand-opening announcements, team colors on game weekends, new hours. Anything you would otherwise put on a banner, only bigger and better looking.

Designs are drawn for your business and your glass — not pulled from a catalogue of stock snowflakes.

High-contrast yellow lettering on dark tinted glass, chosen so the message still reads on a reflective window in full sun.

Hiring notice paired with a starting wage. Putting the number on the glass does the screening before anyone walks in.

Good reasons to repaint

Grand openings

Big, loud, unmissable. A painted storefront announces that something new is here in a way a banner never manages.

Holidays & seasons

Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's, Fourth of July, back to school, spring. A repaint each season keeps the storefront looking cared for and gives regulars something new to notice.

Sales & promotions

Percentages, prices and offers hand-lettered at a size that reads from the parking lot.

Now hiring

A painted hiring notice reaches every person who walks or drives past, which for a lot of local businesses beats a job board.

Events & game days

Local team colors, tournaments, festivals, season openers — cheap, temporary, and good for the neighborhood mood.

New hours or reopening

Changed your hours, moved, or coming back from a remodel? Painted glass makes it obvious before anyone reaches the door.

Also on walls

Window work and mural work go together — plenty of businesses start with a season of painted glass and end up with a permanent wall. If you want something that stays, here is what that looks like.

Common questions

How long does window painting take?+

Most storefronts are done in a single visit — a few hours to a full day depending on how many windows and how much detail. Seasonal work is usually a half day.

Does the paint come off?+

Yes. Window painting is done with paints made to be removed cleanly from glass, which is the whole point — the design changes with your season, your sale or your hiring push.

How long does it last on the glass?+

A seasonal design comfortably lasts the season. It holds up to rain and washing but is designed to be removed deliberately when you want it gone.

Can you paint our prices, hours or hiring notice?+

Yes. Hand-lettered pricing, 'Now Hiring', sale percentages, new hours and grand-opening announcements are the most requested window work, and they can be updated as the message changes.

Is this cheaper than vinyl graphics?+

Usually, and it's far more flexible. Vinyl has to be designed, printed, shipped and professionally applied, and changing it means paying for the whole cycle again. Painted windows are done on site in one visit and repainted whenever your message changes.

Do you do windows outside Tampa Bay?+

Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Seminole, Tarpon Springs and Palm Harbor are all inside my normal working area. Further out is possible depending on the size of the job.

Can you do a whole shopping center or multiple locations?+

Yes. Multi-storefront and multi-location work is quoted together, and running them on the same visit keeps the per-window cost down.
