I had the upmost pleasure working with American Signs. From start to finish, it was a seamless, painless, and pleasurable experience. A very special shout-out to Mark, Seth, and & Mario. All three of these men brought my companys vision to life. We couldnt be more happy with how everything turned out. Mark made it very easy for us to bring our ideas to fruition. Whenever I had a question, concern, or just a general inquiry, he was right there without hesitation. Both Seth and Mario handled the install, and were both super professional and cool. Theyre overall attention to detail and amazing

I've been ordering signs from these guys for a couple years now and they never fail in getting me what I need, particularly with specialty print needs. They helped me print on glass doors and although it seemed daunting at first, Kurt pulled it off and our lobby looks amazing for it. He really went above and beyond to make sure the final product was perfect. :)

We reached out to American signs on two occasions. The first time, I spoke with Mark over the phone and he asked us to send photos of the project. After sending the photos and following up several times with no response, we decided to put this project on hold. Later in the year, we reached out again for the same project. We received the same unresponsiveness we did the first time, however decided to keep trying due to the fact that there weren't a lot of options available in our area. His in-house architect deemed our sign "impossible" at the scale we drew up, so i offered to

While they ended up not being the right fit for our project, American Signs were awesome and took time out of their day to talk to my extensively over the phone about the best possible options for my sign repair scenario. These are stand up guys and it was truly appreciated to get such detailed advice from knowledgeable industry veterans. Thank you for the excellent customer service!
