THREE AND A HALF DECADES OF
NEW YORK ARCHITECTURAL RIGOR.
Before laser cutters and computerized benders, we bent neon by torchlight and hand-gilded 23-karat gold leaf. Our technology has evolved, but our standard of New York craftsmanship remains uncompromising.
Rooted in Traditional Craftsmanship
Founded as a boutique sign-painting and guilding shop in Brooklyn. We hand-carved redwood signs, lettered gold leaf on bank glass, and bent authentic glass neon for neighborhood storefronts.
Master Sign Hanger License #000185
Earned the elite NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) Class 1 Master Sign Hanger license. Enabled our crews to engineer structural facade steel and execute multi-story crane picks across Manhattan.
Industrial Manufacturing Plant
Consolidated into a dedicated 10,000 sq ft production plant. Invested in multi-axis CNC routers, automated channel letter return benders, and a Matthews architectural paint mixing laboratory.
3M MCS Platinum Certified Center
Expanded into large-scale vehicle fleet branding and architectural window films. Outfitted climate-controlled vehicle wrap bays capable of handling 50-bus municipal and corporate fleets simultaneously.
The Skyline’s Trusted Fabrication Partner
Today, Signs NYC stands as the city’s premier turnkey signage manufacturer. From flagship channel letters on Fifth Avenue to historic Landmark Preservation Commission restorations, we shape how New York is seen.
INSIDE OUR 10,000 SQ FT
NEW YORK CITY FACILITY.
Most NYC sign companies are brokers who outsource fabrication to out-of-state factories. Signs NYC fabricates 100% in-house. When you order from us, your materials are CNC-milled, welded, painted, and assembled right here in New York City.
CNC Routing & Metalworking Lab
Our metal fabrication floor features computerized 5-axis CNC routing and precision waterjet cutting capable of slicing 316-grade stainless steel, architectural brass, solid bronze, aircraft aluminum, and high-density urethane (HDU) with micrometer accuracy. From complex 3D filigree to structural 14-foot corporate logos, every edge is deburred, beveled, and finished in-house.
FOUR ARCHITECTURAL PILLARS
BUILT FOR COMPLEX URBAN PROJECTS.
DOB & LPC Expediting
We don’t hand you a sign and wish you luck. Our in-house expediters draft CAD architectural drawings, calculate wind load engineering, and submit filings directly to the NYC Department of Buildings and Landmarks Preservation Commission for turnkey sign-off.
True Factory-Direct Value
Deal directly with the team cutting your aluminum and bending your neon. Eliminating third-party brokers and sub-fabricators means razor-sharp quality control, rapid revision cycles, and significant cost savings passed directly to your buildout.
Engineered for NYC Weather
From 120 MPH hurricane-grade rooftop calculations to heavy freeze-thaw cycles and harbor salt corrosion, our materials are specified for extreme urban endurance. Heavyweight aluminum, 316 stainless, and automotive UV clearcoats.
24/7 Rapid Emergency Response
When storms damage entrance canopies or transformers fail on a flagship storefront, our emergency dispatch crews are on-site within hours. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across all five boroughs.
