The Tri-State's Dedicated Sign Repair Team
From Brooklyn Roots to Tri-State Coverage
Metro Sign Services was founded in 1989 in Brooklyn, New York — at a time when every storefront in NYC depended on a well-lit sign to attract walk-in business. What started as a small operation focused on neon sign repair quickly grew as word spread among business owners that we were fast, honest, and knew signs inside and out.
Over the decades, we’ve evolved with the industry. As signs shifted from neon to fluorescent to LED, our technicians learned every new technology while retaining the skills to work on legacy systems. Today, we service every type of commercial sign — from vintage neon installations to modern programmable LED displays.
As our client base grew beyond Brooklyn into all five boroughs, Long Island, and New Jersey, we expanded our team and capabilities to match. We now operate out of a larger facility in the heart of the Tri-State Area, with a fleet of fully-stocked service vehicles that allow us to reach any location quickly and arrive prepared to work.
Through all this growth, one thing hasn’t changed: we’re still a family-owned, hands-on operation where every client matters and every repair gets our full attention.
Why We Specialize in Repair & Maintenance
Many sign companies try to do everything — fabrication, wraps, printing, installation, and repair as an afterthought. We took the opposite approach. We built our entire business around the services that existing sign owners actually need most: repair, removal, and maintenance.
This focus matters because sign repair is a fundamentally different skill set than sign fabrication. Diagnosing why a 15-year-old pylon sign is flickering requires detective work — tracing wiring, testing components, understanding how different technologies age. It requires a technician who has seen thousands of sign failures and knows exactly where to look.
Our technicians are exactly those people. They spend their days in the field, working on real signs with real problems. This constant, focused experience is what allows us to diagnose faster, repair more effectively, and give you honest assessments about whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your specific situation.
We do offer fabrication, installation, and permit services as well — because sometimes a sign is beyond repair and you need a new one, and we’d rather handle the full process for you than send you to another company. But our identity, our expertise, and our daily focus is and always will be keeping your existing signs operational.
Our Commitments to Every Client
These aren’t marketing slogans. They’re the principles our team operates by every day — and how we’ve maintained our reputation for over three decades.
We tell you exactly what's wrong with your sign, what it'll cost to fix, and whether repair or replacement is the smarter financial decision. If a $200 repair will solve the problem, we won't push a $5,000 replacement. Our reputation is built on trust, and trust starts with honesty.
A broken sign costs you business every hour it's down. We respond to repair requests within 24 hours — often same-day for emergencies. Our service trucks are stocked with common parts so many repairs are completed during the first visit, not on a second trip.
Every repair we make is done right — not quick-fixed to get us out the door. We use quality replacement components, follow proper procedures, ensure code compliance, and test everything thoroughly before we leave. The repair should last, not just work temporarily.
Our quotes are transparent, detailed, and competitive. No hidden charges, no surprise line items, no inflated emergency premiums. You'll know the full cost before work begins, and the final invoice will match the quote — unless you approve changes along the way.
We're a service company first and a sign company second. That means we're easy to reach, responsive to questions, flexible with scheduling, and respectful of your business operations. We work around your hours, clean up thoroughly, and follow up after every job.
35+ years in NYC and NJ means we know the DOB permit requirements, building codes, zoning regulations, and borough-specific rules that out-of-area companies miss. This local expertise saves you time, prevents compliance issues, and ensures every job is done by the book.
