SIGNS by Clay Downing

We had Clay do our signs for a business back in January 2021. He did a good job on installing and the signs look good. However, we had to manage the process and contact the county to help with permitting. He was not very organized or clear on guidelines. 8 months later, we figured he new the permitting process so we asked Clay to do a sign for a second location.

This was a huge mistake. He didn't learn anything about permitting. Although he constantly followed up, he didn't know what he actually needed. So we are now without a sign, and are not able to open. This is costing us money each month and now need to find a new company to help while we pay our rent. I will not do business with him again. Hope he learns from this for the next company who needs his services

Clay has placed decals on several of our trucks, over the past few months. The work is outstanding and Clay goes above and beyond to make things easy by driving to various locations so our crews can stay on the job site while the work is being done on the vehicles. We will continue to use Clay for all our signs and decals and would reccomend him to anyone looking for quality work at a fair price.

I opened a business in the City of Falls Church recently and needed to have a sign refaced. I found Signs by Clay Downing through Google and decided to give him a call. Clay ways incredibly responsive. He came by and visited the site within days. I found him to be personable and trustworthy. Throughout the process, he provided useful advice on permitting and was patient with us as we worked with the City and with our landlord to get approvals before moving forward with the job. Pricing was straight forward and very reasonable.

Once I had the necessary approvals to move ahead, Clay installed the sign in a matter of days. My guess is that on more complicated jobs, the turnaround takes a bit longer. But our job was a relatively uncomplicated one and he made it out in a snap. We could not have been more pleased with the service the Clay provided. If you're in need of sign work, I highly recommend you give Clay a call.

I’m an interior designer in Northern California and we hired Clay to help us with a custom vinyl film design for an office project in Arlington, VA. Clay’s work was amazing. He is professional, prompt to respond, hands on, creative and able to provide solutions when needed. We will most likely use his expertise again for photo murals in the space. I recommend him highly and only wish he were in California

We used Clay to install a couple of really large and important acrylic logo signs at our work. We needed this particular job done at the last minute and he was quick to get our signs created and installed just the way we wanted them. I would absolutely use Clay again for our next work.

I run a small business in Falls Church City and needed to reface the sign on the front of the building. I checked with a few businesses and Clay was the most responsive. His price was reasonable and he was willing to help us with the permitting process. We ended up handing the permits but he provided some great advice. Once we got the thumbs up from the City, Clay had the sign up in a matter of days.

He was unbelievably fast. On top of that, he's a really nice guy. Before we had him under contract, he came by the shop to check things out and inspect the sign. We ended up chatting for a bit and I know after meeting him that his was the company we'd go with. We have no regrets and are completely satisfied with the service and the end of product. We highly recommend Clay for all of your signage needs.

Clay is a great guy and a very professional person. He has done many vehicles for us, from mini vans to 24 feet truck. He can do them all.

Wonderful experience from start to finish each time we have used SIGNS by Clay Downing! Clay is always prompt, personable and competitively priced.

We could not be happier with the results and look forward to working with him in the future.

Clay is the best in the business! He did a superb job in creating our signs and was very professional throughout the entire service. To go above and beyond, he also assisted us in moving and rehanging the signs when we moved locations. If you're not using Clay, you're using the wrong company.
