Sign Zone did an absolutely amazing job for me! They designed and placed decals for my van as well as an A-frame sign for me. The design of what I wanted, installation, and communication were all perfect. Very friendly staff, would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Great company, nice staff. Have been using them for the last 12 years for our trucks, windows, tradeshows signs, big outdoor signs. Chris was always there, very knowledgeable and friendly. They know how to deal with the city permits and all the things that other companies are trying to stay away from. I was calling them last Friday and asked if they can help with LED signs and to my surprise, they said "Yes we do" so here is another one we are going to do together. I am happy and recommend them to anyone.

I looked all over for a sidewalk sign that does not look cheap. I was so lucky to find Sign Zone LA and to work with Ruben! He was so patient with all my requests and questions. I think we went through 10 emails and ideas before we settled for one. The sign they provided looked even better than I imagined from the proofs. They did everything very quickly and beautifully... I could not ask for more! Thanks again for all your help, guys!
