Brought in a LED light-up sign that wasn't working and Jim was able to fix the sign right away. Was first class all the way and very personable in our conversation. Will certainly use again!

Not impressed. Had a sit down visit with James, and he seemed very reputable and the portfolio presented looked great! I never write reviews as I never have issues with companies. Charles Signs was great until I called to check status on the estimate. Reception told me he would call me back and that he was in a meeting, which happened three times when I called, in a time frame of 3 weeks. No call back, no status update.
Our company was ready to pay down and get this built before end of summer. Would not suggest to anyone, better off going to someone else in the area. A single estimate does not take a month to write, and certainly there was no excuse for zero call backs to our office.

I would like to thank the entire staff at Charles Signs, from Jim Hickey, Michelle Ryan, Debbie Guarasce, Julie Cross, to the installation crew that did a fabulous and beautiful job on the signage for my store "Beyond The Attic Door". I am so happy and proud of the way the signs look and it projects the perfect image for my store! I love the work that was done from start to finish! The staff is more than professional and caring and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to project that perfect image for their business! A sheer pleasure! Cannot thank them enough and couldn't be happier!
