  3. Moving Truck Decals

    When Im faced with this scenario I respond with "Really? Oh wow, well can you send their quote to me or show it to me and lets make sure we are talking about the same thing"..........9 times out of 10 the conversation will end there. People will lie, my opinion walk away. let it go, forget...

    yeah! they dont use that any longer, replace with a pan face OR a flat lexan face if the sign will allow. For the life of me I never understood those damn panels BUT they sure did last!
  7. If you don't employ an electrician, how do you install signs requiring electricity?

    The process here for getting sign permits for channel letters is take them a drawing, they look at it and then and then you pay them a percentage of the cost of the sign . There is no follow up inspection UNLESS the inspector is on the job during a new construction install of the whole facility...

  9. Outdoor sign vinyl recomendation

    I would do a digital print on 3M IJ40. I dont know where your sign will be but I think that would suffice. DO NOT cover a sign in lexan, when you do this the gloss of the lexan will take away from the print and be distractive this does not serve its purpose also placing lexan against a sign is...
  10. Cool Signs in Montgomery, TX, doesn't pay their bills

    Yall must have strict laws up North. I dont go for all that "Once it up its not mine." In my business its mine until you pay for it. I have had 100% excellent results from taking signs down. For a customer to go from weeks of dragging out not paying you and avoiding you, they will bust out a...

It was overkill at its finest. well we didnt get the job (figures) but whoever did get it put up all vinyl lettering....I might just never quote another huge...

  19. 3/8" zinc ada

    on the above sign I posted that is far from a being a hack sir. i gave them something sturdy and long lasting instead of something that rust will be running down the face in 1 years time and possibly in 3 years crumble to ground.
