All fasteners will be
galvanized or non-corrosive.
To additionally
insure safety and quality, manufacturing, installations,
and service are supervised by a Master Sign
Electrician, Master Electrician, and Licensed Sign
Erector. Licensed Company Sign Installers and
Licensed Electricians are also utilized.
All excess dirt and
rock will be hauled away and disposed of properly if
required.
At the end of
installation or service the work area is always left in a
broom-clean condition.
We are virtually the
only sign company in any of the 97 "Metroplex" cities
multi-licensed to manufacture and install signs as well
as provide electrical service.
Signs Manufacturing™
can be totally responsible for installing, wiring, and
maintaining your signs (and lighting), if you choose.
Our family’s electrical,
electronic, computer programming, and IT backgrounds often
prove invaluable to our customers, particularly those with
or desiring Electronic-Message-Centers. We can
write/modify computer programs in many languages.
If there is a
problem, our radio-dispatched service vehicles, cranes,
and ladder trucks keep signs and lighting working and
advertising for you.
If installations or
service work take place during your business hours, our
uniformed employees will not detract from your business
environment.
"No company, except you, routinely provides us with next-day service. I also recognize how important our signs and neon are to our success, and appreciate your service."

State Licensed Sign Installation and
Service
The State of Texas requires by law
that all companies and individuals installing or
maintaining electric signs and/or neon have a license.
It is a State criminal offense to
even offer to install or service an electric sign without
an appropriate license.
To
obtain a State license all individuals must meet
experience, testing, standards of professional conduct,
and continuing education requirements.
To obtain a State Sign Contractor’s
License the company must be represented by a Master Sign
Electrician (12,000 hours of training minimum), all
electrical workers must be licensed, lead-men Journeymen
must have a minimum of 8,000 hours training, the company
must carry insurance to protect their customers, and they
must comply with Texas’ Workers’ Compensation Insurance
laws. All work performed must meet minimum standards. The business must be operated in
an honest and professional manner.
Many companies, who cannot meet the
State’s licensing requirements, work under the lesser
licensing requirements of individual cities and communities.
Some require no training or experience, or insurance, only
the payment of a fee! They can only work in that location, however.
Our State Sign Contractor's License
#’s are: TSCL18015, and TSCL18016.

Out-of-Area Installation or Service
If you want to have
us manufacture a sign for you and arrange for its
installation outside of Northeast Texas, or if you want us
to manage maintenance on your company's signs nationally,
"click" our "Project
Management" tab to the left.
Timer or Photo Cell?
We are often asked this question.
"When I have electrical power run to
the sign should I have a photo cell or a timer installed
to turn it on and off?"
We recommend both!
A photo cell
works OK if you want your sign on all night.
A timer works
OK if you don’t want your sign ever to be on during the
day – even if it is cloudy and dark out.
What works best is both. The
photo cell turns the sign on any time it is dark enough
for the lighting to draw customer's attention, the timer
keeps it from being on from say 11 to 6 in the morning
when there is no one around to attract their attention!
Electricity is only
used when it will help your business.

The "Metroplex" Success Story
The Dallas/Fort Worth "Metroplex" continues as the
fastest growing large city area in the United States, year-after-year. It is the fourth
fastest growing such area in the world. As fast as in China or India!
North Texas is expected to
gain over 4,000,000 new residents in just the next 4 years!
The business economy HERE remains healthy! Well over
100 new businesses are started in just the D/FW Metroplex every week.
Don't let the "doom-n-gloomers"
talk you out of being successful. This is the best time ever to
start a new business in North Texas and Northeast Texas.

& LED" page under Channel Letter Lighting Choices

change colors. There is a video so you can see them in action.

BIG Business Booster
There is no question that LED
electronic message centers are the business signage communication
wave of the future. Local advertising has never been cheaper
because of them.
Every business has a need to
promote special events, sales, sponsorships, etc.; either at their
business location and/or at local sports events, parades, church and
school events.
If
your business is not located where you can have a permanent
messaging sign, or you need to advertise at multiple locations (like
the kid's soccer game), the question is, HOW?
This question has been answered
with “The LED Sled™” pictured here, Signs Manufacturing’s new
portable self-powered
LED electronic message center and video display.
Local businesses have
never before been able to be so creative, to think so far outside
the box to gain a competitive advertising advantage.
“To rent, or to own, THAT is the
question.” (sorry Shakespeare.) How often do you need to
promote your business?
If you are a multi-location
business you need to own one of these! Some location ALWAYS
has special needs or opportunities. Or a new store under
construction.
If you’re not in the Dallas/Fort
Worth Metroplex you absolutely need to own one because you are too
far away for us to rent you one!
