Some Tips on Where to Install Decorative House Numbers and Address Plaque

The best place to install house numbers or an address plaque is near the front door and within a radius of the porch light.  Generally, installing house numbers above the front door is a good idea. 

Try to install the numbers or address plaque within close proximity of the front door and above eye level.  This will help visitors and delivery people readily locate your home and will prevent the numbers from being blocked by cars that park in front of your home. 

When positioning the house numbers or address plaque, make sure that they are unimpeded by landscaping and that it faces the street. 

If your front door faces the street, then consider placing the house numbers or plaque next to the door.  Otherwise, place the house numbers or plaque at another front facing location. 

If the house numbers are not the lighted type, make sure they are positioned in such a manner that they take advantage of the porch or yard lighting.  An address that may be clearly visible in the daytime can be obscured by darkness.  If you cannot position the house numbers or plaque near an illuminated area, then consider adding a small light above it.
