      This is a family owned business. The husband and wife team are such wonderful people. We recently changed our firm name, and needed the new sign to replicate what we currently had. And they knocked it out of the park! They listened to our concerns and did an amazing job with our new logo sign. Thank you for such great care and detail!

      Sign Artist did an amazing job upgrading all of the streets signs, stop signs, yield signs and warning signs in our neighborhood. The work was professional, timely and price competitive. Brookmeadow Estates in Frankfort, IL has achieved the quiet elegance we were hoping for! Thanks Sign Artist (Ed and team!)

      The whole gang at Sign Artist were such a pleasure to work with. Their attention to detail and incredible support during the creative process really spoke volumes to us. And wow, they are true artists. We could not be more pleased. Their contributions to our church have transformed our Narthex and created the perfect welcoming environment. I will I could give them 6 stars.

      Sign Artist did a great job with new signage at one of our offices. They were accommodating to our rushed schedule and were able to complete the job before our brand reveal.  Would recommend them!

      Highly recommend! I came to Sign Artist and spoke to Ed after having a bad experience with another company. The other company I originally found was extremely expensive and was not up front about all of the extra costs it would take to replace our sign, so I decided to look elsewhere. I found Sign Artist on Google. When I spoke to Ed, he was very nice and professional. He explained everything from start to finish and laid out the timeline. His pricing is very reasonable, too. The installers were great, and Ed followed up to ensure everything worked properly (including the lights at night). The sign is beautiful!! If you're making an investment in something that is really important to your business's image, like a sign, go with a company that you trust and is easy to work with- like Sign Artist! Thanks so much Ed and to your installation team for everything!
