Steve was just so awesome to work with patient, professional, and friendly. Definitely went above and beyond in bringing over samples of acrylics just so we can have an idea of what was possible. Once materials were available, he came over and installed our sign in no time flat! We would absolutely recommend Steve and Berkely Signs.

Steve at Berkeley Signs is great! Prompt response, clean work, sincerely put his own personal effort to make our sign as neat & professional as possible, and he even came back to do some final touches. Would definitely recommend him for business signs and windows or any project along those lines. Support your local businesses especially when the quality and customer service are top notch. Thanks again Steve, you da best.

Steve was a pleasure to work with. His attention to detail was incredible. We wanted all our signs to look earthy but bold, and his execution was exceptional. Steve did our lobby signage and 20 different signs for all our conference rooms and labs. The lobby sign is breathtaking and gives off the perfect aesthetic and vibe when you walk in. The conference signs are all beautifully crafted, the right size, and installed at the right height. Steve is a true artist! Because the front lobby sign looked so stunning, we are already looking to add more large signage to our interior. Thanks Steve!

Steve was great, very friendly and knowledgeable! I have been trying to get my sign hung for over a year due to the pandemic and I am so glad that I found Steve! He was able to get my sign hung in an hour, very professional. I only contacted him a week ago and he was able to come very quickly to hang it for me. I highly recommend him! Thanks Steve!

Steve was very friendly and professional. Had my sign ready sooner than I thought would be possible in the middle of a global pandemic! He even offered a few alterations of my original design that I'm very happy with. Can't wait to get this puppy on the job site...as soon as I'm allowed to go back to work. 10/10 would recommend.

Steve just installed our sign and it's stunning. As an interior design firm, the details and overall aesthetic was really important to us. He advised us on how to convert our digital logo into a physical sign. He was extremely detailed. For example, we went through several iterations to ensure that the spacing of the font was correct and the lines on certain letters would translate well into a metal material.
I would highly recommend him. Also, he was fun to talk to during installation which always make the experience more pleasant.

Steve is a true artist and craftsman. He made a wonderful sign for my business which he designed, built and installed. It is eye catching from the street and features an updated look for my brand. He worked with me so that I was involved in the process and that all of the details were addressed.

The best part of the process was that the price for a hand built artistic, professional, attention gabbing sign was completely within my budget and exactly what he promised. Steve is charming and hard working. Work with this guy...you won't regret it

Steve has been painting the exterior signs at the entrance of the Mills College Art Museum for a little under a year now, and we couldn't be more pleased. We rotate exhibitions 4-6 times a year, and we return to Berkeley Signs each time because we've never been dissappointed with the outcome and the process is no fuss. Every sign is different, and some are more complicated then others but Steve has been able to tackle them all. We're always impressed with his ability to execute each sign with excellent precision in no time at all. He does his own plotting and his rates are very reasonable. I highly recommend him.

Steve is the BEST! I contacted Berkeley Signs recently because Steve is the person who applied the original signage to the window of our business about 17 years ago. The original signage held up immaculately over all these years. The reason I contacted Steve again is because the business changed names. I knew without question that I wanted to use the same person. Steve did an amazing job applying the gold leaf window sign, canvas flag and hardware to our store front. Steve is extremely detail oriented and clearly knows exactly what he is doing. I HIGHLY recommend Steve from Berkeley Signs!

Steve was really helpful coming up with our design and worked with the facade to determine the best layout, size and format. We had a lot of back and forth requests, and he always followed up to accommodate our questions and ideas. The end product was perfect, and we'd love to keep working with him for future projects.

Steve is an absolute delight to work with and is beyond talented! Our company used his talents to create a sign for an event we were hosting in a local neighborhood. Steve made a beautiful neighborhood sign that now marks the entrance into the neighborhood. We unveiled the sign at the event and neighbors were just thrilled by how it turned out. It is the perfect sign to welcome people into the neighborhood.

Steve was very easy to work with and responded well via email and phone. He also installed the sign for us ALL BY HIMSELF!! It was hard work and he did it with such diligence and focus. Truly top notch!

We highly recommend Steve for any project you may have. He's a true artist and is gifted at bringing your vision to life. We cannot thank Steve enough for his incredible work!
