Report
My dad has this one of a kind sign that I accidentally broke. I brought it to ARTfx to see what they could do and a week later it looked brand new and it was fixed at a very fair price. I will definitely be back for more.

Report
My partner and I recently purchased a new home. We consulted with ARTfx and their creative design team. We wanted a sign for the property to put on our barn that would be in keeping with our 1835 Greek revival house. Their design totally hit the mark.
Additionally, we were pleased with the quality of the craftsmanship and materials used to fabricate our sign. We would highly recommend ARTfx as a unique sign company with top notch work!
