Emergency crews
When someone calls 911, responders are scanning for your number from a moving vehicle in the dark. Seconds spent guessing which house is yours are seconds not spent on the person who needs help.
$25 Per curb — pay after it's done
Your address,
Your address,
impossible to miss.
Hand-painted house numbers on your curb — black on a clean white block, big enough to read from a moving car. So the ambulance finds you at 2 a.m., the driver stops at the right house, and your guests quit circling the block.

Why it matters
A number nobody can read is a number nobody uses.
Portland houses hide their addresses behind hedges, porch shadows, and 1920s brass numerals the color of the siding. At night it gets worse — most house numbers aren't lit at all. A curb number sits at ground level in front of the house, exactly where a driver is already looking, and a white block is the easiest thing on the street to spot.
Deliveries that land
Packages left at the neighbor's, groceries at the wrong porch, the DoorDash driver calling you from three houses down. A curb number is the first thing a driver sees when they pull up.
Guests and contractors
No more "we're outside, are you the blue one?" texts. Rideshare pickups, house-sitters, the plumber you booked for a two-hour window — everyone finds you on the first pass.
It just looks sharp
Crisp black on a clean white block. It's the smallest, cheapest thing you can do to your curb that reads as "somebody takes care of this house."

Type your number. See your curb.
This is exactly what goes on your curb — black numbers on a clean white block. Flip it to night to see how it reads in the dark.
Daylight — tap to see it at night
One style, done properly. The curb gets cleaned and dried, the white block goes down first, and the numbers are cut in by hand with a stencil once it's set. No custom colors, no upsells, no finish upgrade to decline.

How it works
Four steps. You don't have to be home.
01
Send your address
Fill out the form at the bottom — it takes about a minute. Tell us your house number, how many curbs you want, and which finish you like. Photos help but aren't required.
02
Get your quote
We reply with a firm price and a window, usually the same day. No deposit, no contract, nothing to sign. If your curb is damaged or too rough to hold paint, we'll tell you straight instead of taking the job.
03
We paint it
The curb gets scrubbed, dried, and taped. The white block goes down first, then the numbers get cut in by hand with a stencil once it's set. About 20 minutes, and we don't need access to your property.
04
See it, then pay
We send a photo when it's done. Pay by card, Venmo, or cash after you've seen the finished curb — never before. If it isn't right, we redo it.
Pricing
One price. Nothing hidden.
Twenty-five dollars a curb. That's the whole price list.
Every curb, same price
$25per curb
Black numbers on a clean white block, on a standard residential curb. Two curbs is $50. There's no add-on list, no finish upgrade, and nothing to decline.
- Prep and cleaning — wire brush, wash, and full dry before any paint touches concrete
- Exterior paint — applied to a clean, dry curb, which is what actually decides how long it lasts
- Clean edges — taped and stenciled, no overspray on your sidewalk or street
- Finished photo — sent to you before you pay a cent
Nothing up front. You see a photo of the finished curb before you pay. If the paint doesn't hold in the first year because of how it was applied, we come back and redo it free.
$25 covers a standard residential curb in the Portland metro. Unusual curbs, commercial properties, and large HOA jobs get a quote — just ask.
Service area
The whole Portland metro.
If you're inside the metro, we'll come to you. Blocks where several neighbors book together get done in one trip.

Questions
Everything people ask before booking.
How long does the paint actually last?
A couple of years on a clean, sound curb, then it's worth a refresh. What shortens it: winter road grit, a curb sitting under a downspout, constant tire scuffing at a tight driveway, and pressure washing. What extends it: prep. A curb painted over dirt or moss can peel in a single wet Portland winter, which is why we clean and fully dry it first even when that costs us time. At $25 it's cheap to redo when it finally fades.
Do I need to be home?
No. The curb is in the public right-of-way, so we never need to enter your property. Most jobs happen while people are at work. We'll text you a finished photo when it's done. The one thing that helps: if you can avoid parking in front of the curb that day, we won't have to reschedule.
Is curb painting allowed where I live?
Rules vary by city, since the curb belongs to the public right-of-way rather than to you. Some metro cities — Beaverton, for one — require painters to hold a city curb-painting permit and a local business license. Others have no specific rule for residential address numbers. Tell us your city on the form and we'll confirm what applies before we schedule anything. If your city doesn't allow it, we'll tell you rather than paint it and let you deal with the notice.
Why white with black numbers?
Contrast is the whole job. A big white block is the brightest thing at ground level on most streets, so your eye lands on it before you've read anything — then black numerals give you the maximum possible contrast to actually read. Dark numbers on bare concrete look fine up close and disappear from a moving car. We don't offer custom colors, because every color choice makes it harder to read than this one.
Can you paint over the old faded numbers?
Usually, yes — and it's often the easiest job on the block. If the old paint is sound, we scuff and go right over it. If it's flaking or lifting, it has to come off first, or the new coat peels with it. That takes longer but it's still $25 — we'll just tell you which one you've got before we start, not after.
What if my curb is cracked or crumbling?
We'll pass, and we'll say why. Paint on spalling concrete looks bad within a season and it's not a fair thing to charge for. Damaged public curbs are typically the city's or the adjacent property owner's responsibility to repair depending on jurisdiction — once it's fixed, we're happy to come back.
Do you knock on doors?
No. Every job here starts with someone asking. You won't find a flyer wedged in your door, a number painted on your curb you didn't order, or an invoice for work you never agreed to. That practice is common in this trade and we don't do it.
How soon can you come out?
Typically within a few days in dry weather. Paint needs a dry curb and above roughly 50°F to cure properly, so from late fall through early spring we work around the forecast. Summer bookings usually go out within the week. If you need a specific date — before a party, an open house, a move-in — say so on the form and we'll work to it.
How do I pay?
After the job, once you've seen the photo. Card, Venmo, or cash. No deposit, no invoice in advance, no subscription, no upsell later. If you're not happy with how it looks, tell us and we'll redo it before we take payment.
Can our whole block do it together?
That's our favorite kind of job — still $25 a curb, but it all happens in one trip. Get your neighbors on board, put one person's contact on the form, list the addresses in the notes, and we'll handle the whole street at once.
