EYA is a family run venture. Based in Omaha, Nebraska, not far from Boys Town, we have a management staff of two (my wife and I) and a labor force of four: ages 18 down to seven.

EYA started in 2004 as a way to make money needed to pay for my oldest daughter’s high school tuition. We knew we had to come up with an additional source of income if we were going to be able to send the kids to the schools we wanted to.

The idea of curb painting always intrigued me because I knew a few people who had done it and made good money, and it seemed so …simple …and obvious. I was also amazed at the number of homeowners who paid to have it done, even though it was often ugly. But, hey, we needed the money and it was something the kids could help out with.

After lots and lots of pondering, we began testing some ideas to paint graphically personalized curb addresses to make us unique and help set us apart. After more than a year of research and trial and error, we came up with the EYA stenciling system. The system worked really well and people loved the graphics! From there we decided to begin making kits so others could make money, too. 

Today, Express Your Address is still going strong and continues to provide assistance to our family for high school and college for the kids.

If you like our idea, I hope you will buy a kit. We could use the money, and I'm sure you could too!
