After 48 years in the sign business we have been asked many questions. We thought it would be helpful to give you the 10 most asked questions and their answers.

1. When can I expect my job to be completed?
  After all sketches are approved, work on your project will start immediately. As each job varies, a date will be set up. On a sign project, an expected date will be given and updated as the project progresses. Generally, three weeks for a complex sign and within two weeks for vehicle lettering. If there is an urgency to your project, we will make every effort to accomodate you.
2. Do you install?
  Yes. We do install as requested by our clients.
3. Do you use high performance vinyls?
  Yes, we use premium high performance vinyls. The only exception is for a temporary solution like a banner that will be in use less than three years.
4. Are you able to do gold leaf?
  We are proud that our studio offers the elegant fine art of hand gilding, which is now becoming a lost art. We also offer Sign Gold, a material of 22 kt. gold cut on our computers. It is utilized in situations where more abuse is expected.
5. How long do you guarantee your work?
  A one year guarantee on normal wear and tear on the sign as well as any warranty offered by manufacturers of materials used in the fabrication of your project will apply.
6. Will I be responsible for obtaining a permit if needed?
  If needed, in most instances we can provide services for obtaining your permit or variances. If you prefer to get your own permit, we will fill out the paperwork and then you can apply.
7. Do we have a catalogue?
  As a rule, all of our customer's projects are custom designed to meet their particular needs and individual tastes. Our website, besides serving as informational and interactive also serves as a digital brochure, showcasing up to the minute custom services.
8. Are there several different applications I can have my sign done in to fit in my budget?
  In almost every instance your project can be completed in several different ways - if you have a specific budget in mind we can suggest alternatives to meet your goals. Our site is designed to show you a wide selection of sign solutions for all budgets and criteria. Please browse through our pages to see a solution suitable for your needs.
9. How many years has your business been in existence?
  Since 1954, we have been serving our clients from the same location. Over these years, Riedel Sign Company has grown in size, capabilities and reputation.
10. What are your payment options?
  • Cash and check are always accepted
• We expect 50% down payment for large projects with the remaining balance due upon completion.
• Vehicles and smaller signs are due upon completion.
• For your convenience we also accept most major credit cards
