Frequently asked questions
Straight answers. Don’t see yours? Ask us.
Do I need to be home?
No. As long as we can safely reach the curb in front of your home, you don’t need to be there. We’ll email you the scheduled date ahead of time.
Are you permitted in the City of LA?
Painting house numbers on curbs as a business in the City of Los Angeles requires an annual permit from the Bureau of Street Services, a $500 surety bond, and public liability insurance (LAMC §62.96). Our permit is in progress and has not been issued yet. We won’t paint any City of LA curb until it is, and we’ll publish the permit number on this site when we have it.
Are curb numbers required by law?
No. Curb numbers are optional. They just make your home easier to find. Anyone who tells you painting your curb is required is not telling you the truth.
What do the numbers look like?
A clean white painted background with black stencil numerals between 2½ and 4 inches tall, which is the format the City of LA rules call for. We use paint made for concrete.
What’s the difference between $25 and $40?
$25 paints your numbers on the curb face, the vertical side that faces the street. $40 adds a second set on the top of the curb, so it’s readable from the sidewalk and driveway too.
How do I pay?
Online, before we paint, through Stripe Checkout (secure card payment). Online checkout isn’t live yet. We’ll switch it on once our permit is in place. We never collect cash at the door.
Will someone knock on my door to sell me this?
No. We don’t do door-to-door pressure. You order online on your own schedule, and we only paint addresses that have been ordered.
What if a car is parked in front of my curb?
We’ll try again on another pass, or reach out to set a time that works. You won’t be charged twice.
Do you offer reflective numbers?
Not yet. A reflective upgrade is planned for later. If you’re interested, mention it in your order notes.
What areas do you serve?
We’re starting with the City of Los Angeles. Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City, and unincorporated LA County each have their own rules, so we’ll only add them after we’ve confirmed those rules.
