Technical Expertise
- We build custom signage products, there can be similarities from one project to the next however, the very nature of designing and fabricating custom products and solutions is that we constantly encounter new challenges and situations.

Peace of Mind
- Whether it’s a sales appointment, site survey, construction job walk or an installation that utilizes a multitude of lifting equipment, you need not worry about liability because we/you are covered!
- Most signage companies carry $1,000,000 of liability insurance and they are unable to qualify for $2,000,000.
- Sign Specialists carries $7,000,000 of liability insurance and we have never made a claim.
Our history of safe operation is a strength that translates into huge peace of mind for our clients!
Size Matters
- There are hundreds of small sign shops with under 7 employees in Southern California.
Most of these sign shops service the immediate geographic area around their base of operation. - They may have one dedicated Sales Person (often the owner), Estimator (often the owner), one Graphic Designer (this might also be the owner), one Project Manager (this might also be the owner) and one or two Installers (one of which might also be the owner).
- Typically, they lack the desirable sophistication, certifications (i.e. UL), manpower, resources (equipment and people) and technical expertise needed for complex signage projects.
- Their scope of services is limited, and they are not structured to efficiently manage larger jobs.
- In the majority of instances when they are awarded a larger project, they are forced to farm it out to a third party, adding an unpredictable layer to projects, because they do not control raw materials, fabrication, quality and timelines.
- The best interests of the client can often become secondary to maintaining margins and staying profitable.
- This added layer often translates into several possibilities for the client, uncontrollable timelines, higher costs, lower grade materials. Sign Specialists Corporation is 50 employees strong.
- Our team is comprised of a fully staffed Sales, Estimating, Graphic Design, Project Management, Fabrication, and Installation Departments.
- The depth of our roster ensures that we can successfully manage your project in-house which allows us to control each step of the design, permitting, fabrication and installation process.
- The absence of a middleman eliminates additional product mark-ups ensuring that the client’s best interests are our top priority, and you get more sign for your money!
