Mark and his team did an amazing job on our sign for Hope Christian Church in Avon, OH. They were very easy to work with, professional, and did the job in a timely manner. 5 years later it looks just as good as it did the day they installed it. Highly recommend them.

I have known the Wagner family for over 25 years. They have hired my friends, created some iconic signs, and have become an industry leader in the region and beyond. Oh, and before I knew them, they already had 40 years of experience in Lorain County and Northeast Ohio.
