Real Neon. Repaired Right.

Bent glass, gas-filled, with a transformer humming in the back. Real neon is still the most beautiful sign type ever made. We restore it, rewire it, and rebuild it.

Neon isn't dead. It just needs people who still know how to work on it.

Most sign companies will tell you to rip out your neon and replace it with LED. We won't. Neon has a look LED can't match, and a working neon sign is part of what makes a place feel like a place. If yours is flickering, dim, or out, there's a good chance it's a fixable problem, not a full replacement.

Transformer Service

The transformer is what makes neon glow. When it fails, the tube goes dark. We replace transformers sized correctly for the sign.
