With age, all signs require cleaning and maintenance in order to keep your investment working optimally for you. Does your sign look dim? Perhaps a business near you just had a new sign installed and you are wondering why it’s so much brighter than yours. There are many reasons for this, from lighting quality and degradation to dirty sign faces. Northwest Signs will diagnose the issue and provide a plan to get your sign lighting properly, many repairs can even be completed the same day. Sign not working? It may not be as bad as you think, the most common cause for sign failures are transformers and power supplies which fail over time so do not hesitate to call and make a service appointment, it’s probably not as bad as you think.

In over 13 years of being in the tower crane industry, I can attest that NO ONE builds a better quality back lit sign than Northwest Sign & Design. I refer all my customers to them for their professionalism, high quality, company color logo matching and expedient delivery. They are truly the best value for your dollar.

The guys who did the sign at Sonoma Condominiums left the large truck on idle for 2 or more hours sending lots of pollution up and out into the air. The air smelled putrid around my apartment and no one was in or using the vehicle. I don't see why they have to be so wasteful about diesel powered vehicles and leave them on while they are working on site.

Paid $5,000 for a custom neon sign. When they send you an invoice they include this: "We were thrilled that we could help you with your project, and hope that you are 110% satisfied with your experience and the final results. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, we appreciate all forms of feedback." This is my feedback on this project: - I'm not 110% satisfied. - Jim was a fantastic salesperson who helped me articulate what I wanted for the sign. - I am disappointed in the handoff from Jim to the production process.
I didn't get proactive communication about the project plan, timeline, and status. I had to send follow up emails several times to check in on the process because I didn't get any proactive communication from the project engineer. - I'm very disappointed with the thickness of the backing for the neon. The production / project engineer team knew it was going to be flimsy.
I would have wanted their recommendation to use a thicker backing to give the sign a more sturdy base. I expected better advice since they are an expert in designing and building neon signs. On their website they out that they have over 25 years of experience and I expected that to come through when I choose them as a partner to design and produce this sign.
It felt like I was working with a team that was designing signs for the first time. Not that I'm at the end of this project. I would have chosen to work with a different company. Except for Jim, hire Jim if you can!

I used NW Sign & Design for my illuminated sign and window decals at Oasis Float Spa in North Seattle. They did a fantastic job. On one of the 2 foot x 2 foot decals they applied to my windows, there was a tiny blemish that I didn't even notice. A week later they came out and replaced the decal without me asking. Brian, the owner, was very helpful early in the design process in helping think through the use of my logo and other words on my sign. 100% satisfied.

We used Northwest Sign for our business, Guardian Vault on Redmond Ridge, and could not be happier! They were very patient and designed several options for us while respecting our budget. The two fellas that performed the installation were on time, respectful of our space and even vacuumed after tracking in maybe just two pine needles from outside!
We were very impressed with not only the sign they designed, but NW Signs has outstanding customer service! Thank you NW Signs for your great work! Brandon Sylvestal Co-Founder Guardian Vault, LLC

NW Signs did an amazing job creating and installing the signs for our new store! They listened to our input and made changes to design work based on our feedback. They followed up with the city and the fire department when regulations needed to be clarified. The installation was on time and efficient. Prospective customers were opening our doors as soon as the signs were installed. They were highly professional in every way. We absolutely love our new signs! Tina Ullom Brick & Mortar Books

NW designed, constructed and installed all of our exterior signage in two retail locations. We've been their customers for over 8 years and have received nothing but honest, timely and beyond satisfactory results. NW is very deep in knowledge and execution of the sign business. These folks know their stuff.

I would love to rate this lower if I could. We put a significant down payment for a sign for our neighborhood. Our neighborhood unfortunately voted down this project in lieu of a rock sign (NW Signs does not do). Brian magically stated that our down payment was consumed by design changes. When we tried to work with him on lettering for the rock, he estimated another $4800 plus the already consumed deposit. Unreasonable and unfair, our only recourse is to file a small claims action. Dishonest business practices! Buyer beware!

NW Signs recently completed the installation of our new storefront sign and we couldn't be more satisfied. We shopped around prior to contracting NW Signs for the job, and found they provided the best value for the design, production, and installation of the sign. Jeff was always quick to respond to my inquiries, and followed up after the install to ensure satisfaction. Highly recommend NW Signs!
