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.

"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.

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!
Here are a few projects that we have JUST completed:
Bill Glass, Champions For Life
AccuHealth
SIGNS!
State Fair of Texas
Z Studio
Salon Aura
Unlighted Aluminum Wall Sign with Blue Border.
Pole Sign with Monochrome LED Message Center
Face-Lit, Multi-Colored Backlighting Behind, Neon Border, VERY creative!
