Context

First, what we mean by "Channel Letters."

Channel letters are those individual lit letters that spell out a business name on the front of a building. Each one is its own enclosed channel, usually with LEDs or neon inside and a translucent plastic face. When a few letters go dark or start flickering, it's almost always one of three things: a bad transformer, blown LED modules, or a cracked faceplate letting in water.

What We Fix
Feature 1

Transformer Replacement

The power supply behind every channel letter. When the whole letter goes out, this is usually the culprit. We replace it on-site with the right rating for your sign.

LED Module & Wiring Repair

Individual LED modules burn out over time. We swap modules, re-run wiring, and reseal everything against weather.

Faceplate & Acrylic Repair

Cracked or yellowed faces let in water and let out light. We can replace just the face, not the whole letter.
