LOVE IT!! when people think that's worth salvaging!!
i had a customer (well, NON customer) hang up on my when i told him NEW acrylic panels would be cheaper than re-using his old ones. by the time we send out a crew to remove them, spend HOURS removing the 15yr old lettering & adhesive, then go back to install. It would be cheaper to cut new panels, and only go onsite once. he'd have less $$ AND BRAND NEW PANELS. wouldn't even hear me out, kept interrupting my, telling me how i don't know how to run a business, etc etc. 2 weeks later, they hand painted some old wood boards and stuck them over the lighted sign cabinet. SMH. looked like shit. go figure... they were out of business in a few years.
