Every Scale

From a single storefront channel letter sign to a complete multi-tenant pylon program, we design, permit, fabricate, and install every type of commercial electric sign across the entire SF Bay Area.

Channel Letter Signs

Custom illuminated individual letters for storefronts and building facades. Face-lit, halo-lit, or combination. The most visible, professional identity sign available.

Cabinet & Box Signs

Illuminated single or double-face cabinet signs for maximum nighttime visibility. Ideal for retail centers, strip malls, and anchor tenants.

🔆
Monument Signs

Ground-mounted illuminated monument signs that brand your property entrance and maximize street visibility from both directions.

Pylon & Pole Signs

Towering roadside identification with multi-tenant panel capacity. Essential for freeway-adjacent properties and high-speed corridors.

High-rise identification, lobby logos, ADA-compliant interior signage, and full directional systems for office parks and mixed-use developments.

🔧
Maintenance & LED Retrofits

Scheduled inspections, LED conversion for older neon and fluorescent signs, storm damage repair, and cleaning. Keep your sign performing at peak efficiency.

Why Signage Wins

The Numbers Don't Lie:
Signs Deliver
Unbeatable ROI

In 2001, researchers Claus & Claus established that on-premise signage delivered a CPM of just $0.22. Today, with digital ad costs exploding, the gap has widened dramatically in signage's favor.

A $15,000 sign investment on a Bay Area street with 50,000 daily vehicles delivers approximately 1.5 million impressions per month — and keeps delivering, without a login, algorithm, or renewal fee.

35%
of quick-service customers first discovered the business from the sign alone
45%
of service station stops are unplanned impulse stops driven by signage
40%
of fast food visits are unplanned — triggered by the sign, not prior intent

"The on-premise sign may well be the critical factor in a business's success or failure. Nothing can meet these requirements as quickly, safely, and effectively."
