Understanding ADA Signage
The term "ADA Signs" encompasses much more than just braille signs. While braille and raised characters are essential, ADA guidelines require compliance for almost every architectural sign that identifies permanent rooms, exits, or accessible features. Marketing signs and temporary signage do not need to comply, but all other relevant signage must adhere to ADA standards.

My dad and I acquired an antique gas station signpost that we needed taken down and transported about 10 miles. We then needed it reinstalled a couple months later at another location after being restored. The crew at Los Angeles Sign Co did a fantastic job handling the moves and transport and took great care dealing with a very old and valuable piece of history. Service was above and beyond, and their passion for this type of work really shows in person and in their portfolio of other jobs done. Thank you LA Sign Co! Mis

Our previous sign had deteriorated. No idea how long it’d been hanging there, but longer than the 10 years I’d been in my building. One day, it just dangled from one screw, all molded and mushy where the screw used to hold it.
Los Angeles Sign Company furnished me with a quote to meet my specs, updated with a few revisions, and finalized the quote after that. Prompt replies and follow through, and attentive to my requests. Once we paid the invoice, they completed the job in a few days – wasn’t a rush job, so it didn’t matter, but still quick.Came out nice! And matches the look and design of the previous sign, so no one noticed other than it looks pristine and new. Thanks so much!

I tried working with 3 different sign companies before I found Fran at LA Sign Co. She was the best and followed through with everything. Our building looks great and I have had calls saying how it stands out with the sign and logo LA Sign mounted on the building. This is the place you want to help make your business stand out.

Los Angeles sign company created the most gorgeous sign for my company! Ron was my designer and I couldn’t have been happier. My sign has is black letters on silver palettes and the backlighting changes colors constantly. It is actually the coolest sign I have ever seen.

We used LA Sign Co for our dental office signage and they did INCREDIBLE work. Every step of the process was professional, and their designs were exactly what I dreamed of. The execution was even better as they finished the sign before we were even ready to install it, but patiently waited for us to catch up.
Mars was excellent to work with right from the start, always being polite and responsive. When it came time to installation, Evelio did a fantastic job.
Above all else, I want to emphasize how beautiful the sign is. It’s the focal point of our lobby and communicates excellence. I’m shocked there are any bad reviews. The negative things people have written are the opposite of my experience. We will be using LA Sign Co again!

I ordered a new sign for my shop and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Fran was very helpful, she guided throughout the whole process, from the design to what material I should use. The sign came out so perfect, our customers love it and so do I. Thank you!

Evelio and Mars were incredible to work with! They made my sign 5 years ago, and it’s still works perfectly. They recently moved it to our new location and did lots of wall vinyl for our art show exhibit. Their work is nothing short of perfection! HIGHLY recommend them!

Fran was so wonderful and lovely to work with! We had very specific needs and had to change measurements a couple times, but Fran was truly the most patient and kind person throughout all! Our sign installer was also lovely, professional, on time and funny. Highly recommend!

Mars and the team at LA Sign Co were sooooooooo wonderful and kind to me. One job I had for them wasn’t something they would usually do. But they patently worked with me pushing me to be a better artist, learning many new skills with digital artwork. I’m now having my work on products reproduced in volume due to their help with my prototypes overseas. I can’t say enough how nice and helpful they were to me. I love them!

Los Angeles Sign Company is excellent! Victoria and team produced a gorgeous 6′ stainless steel reception sign that sets the perfect tone for our office. Everyone was super friendly and accommodated our tight schedule. The process was easy, from creating a pattern based on our specs to a seamless installation. I intend on using them for future needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for signage!

Although there was a slight miscommunication in the beginning I have grown to trust and love this company. The management team is amazing (especially Victoria) always doing their best to make sure everything is executed on time, that it looks amazing and they go above and beyond to keep their clients happy. I would highly recommend them.

We had an amazing experience with LA Sign. We used them for our interior lobby sign. Mars, our contact, was extremely helpful, responsive, and all around wonderful! She did an excellent job guiding us through the whole process. They came into our office to draft an initial mockup before we even committed and their quote was reasonable compared to others.
Additionally, when the installation had come out a little different than what we had imagined, they came back and adjusted it for us without hesitation (or added cost)! We would definitely recommend. Thanks Mars and the LA Sign Co fam!

My experience was excellent, the company is small but don’t be deceived by the size, Victoria in the front desk was very personable and experienced, she gave us the best suggestions for our restaurant, and we got an illuminated sign for the grand opening that made it look modern and elegant, also a banner to put on the storefront while they manufactured the main sign.
Evelio the owner, went personally to do the site measurements, he is a certified electrician, has his own boom truck, installed the sign and tested it to our complete satisfaction, got the permit with the city. The whole crew was very efficient and detailed oriented.
I will definitely recommend this company. I looked around to get different estimates and they were not the cheapest, but I was fully satisfied with the end result. It was well worth it to invest a little more for a much better quality.
