Small Project
Modern house numbers, perfectly level.
The short answerTo install house numbers, choose numbers at least 4 inches tall (6 inches reads better from the street) in a color that contrasts with the wall. Mount them near the door or garage where they're visible from the road and lit at night. Tape a paper template to the wall, level it, mark the holes, drill pilot holes (masonry bit for brick), and screw or set the standoffs. Many towns require visible numbers for emergency responders.
A 30-minute upgrade that helps both curb appeal and 911 responders. Getting the spacing and level right is what makes it look custom.
