The importance of legible house numbers

Missing or illegible house numbers don't just mean you might get a cold pizza, it could cause critical delays in EMS or other first responders finding your home. Numbers available on the web range from custom metal numbers, to vinyl stickers, to illuminated numbers, and reflective numbers.

The main thing is to have numbers, but you should seriously consider having numbers that are visible at night somewhere on you residence. For now, I'll just add a few sites that have house numbers and will provide more information in the future.

You also might want to check with your local fire department since many departments have specific requirements as to size, reflectivity, etc.

I think address signs are a great and easy way to make your mailbox look nice...and for people to find you! I recently discovered Address Life Signs, an online store where you can customize your address sign. You are able to choose from several different colors and also from logos (this could be your son's college or your husbands favorite college sports team) A great way to show pride!
