01-09-2023Nowadays, sign shoppers have thousands of online companies to order from but working with a local sign shop is still one of the best ways to save money and streamline your order.
Read on to learn 6 ways our local expertise can help you save time, cut costs, and get better results on your next sign shop, or call (713)-244-8704 to get a free quote on any order.
As discussed in a post earlier this month, the best sign designs, installations, and product recommendations are based on knowledge of local competition, weather conditions, and sign code requirements. Out-of-state sign shops won’t be much help in this regard, but don’t worry—our local expertise is only a phone call away!
Almost all sign types must be designed, built, and installed according to the requirements of your local sign code, and many will require permits. Out-of-state sign shops won’t be able to help you with these requirements, but when you work with us, you’ll never have to worry. We know Houston’s sign code; we provide full support with permitting and variances; and we will keep your design on-track from day-one to minimize the need for any backtracking.
When you work with out-of-state shops, sign deliveries can be quite costly, especially if you’re working with heavier materials or large signs. Long-distance deliveries are also at greater risk of delivery delays.
But by choosing a sign shop in Houston, TX, you won’t have to worry. Our sign shop is just a short drive away, and we maintain a large stock of popular sign types and materials to give you options for when time is of the essence.
The term costs of quality refer to the time and money required to spot and fix any errors that occur over the course of the project.
Your sign design might need a few tweaks; something might have gone wrong during manufacturing; or the installation may have gone awry. Whatever the case may be, remediation comes at a cost, and those costs greatly increase when you’re working remotely.
Depending on the company’s policy, you may need to pay extra to ship your faulty sign back or hire graphic designers to make changes to the proofs. And even if you don’t, it will probably take some time before you have the polished product in-hand.
But when you stay local with a full-service shop like ours, it’s much easier to keep in control of your order. You control the entire project from a single point of contact, and if you have any concerns, you can drive right down to the shop to make sure everything is going according to plan.
And when you choose Houston Graphic Signs, the costs of quality drop even further, thanks to the efficiencies of our modern Six-Sigma design process.
When ordering online from shops located out-of-state, the onus is on you to find qualified repair and maintenance services when your signs start to fade, crack, or peel. This is often easier said than done, since not all shops service all sign types, and those that do may not carry the right mounting hardware or replacement parts.
But by staying local with a full-service sign shop like ours, you’re only ever a phone call away from professional upkeep services and replacement parts. Further, as mentioned above, you’ll never have to worry about sign code compliance issues that arise during your repairs or part replacements.
In 2022-2023, sustainability is more important than ever, and buying local goes a long way towards advancing your company’s sustainability goals.
For example, did you know that the shipping industry is responsible for around 940 million tons of CO2 every year, which equates to about 2.5% of the world’s total emissions?
By buying local, you not only reduce shipping costs and delivery delays; you also reduce shipping emissions, while reducing gas consumption and travel time to-and-from the shop.
Working with local experts also makes it easier to coordinate sign repairs, refacing, and maintenance, three eco-friendly services that help owners maximize their sign life while minimizing waste.
If you’re looking for eco-friendly sign solutions, look no further. We are a Six-Sigma design shop that practices lean manufacturing, and we are conveniently located to serve all of Houston, TX, and the surrounding communities.

BACKIt was such a pleasure working with Michelle and the team at Houston Graphic Signs. We needed vinyl wall decals for all of our office breakrooms and not only did they have an amazing turnaround time, the final product and installation was beyond our expectations. We look forward to more work with Houston Graphic Signs.

Houston Graphics Signs (HGS) went above and beyond for MBCO Engineering, LLC (MBCO). MBCO rebranded this year, so we needed HGS to remove the old vinyl of our vehicles and incorporate our new logo. They wrapped 9 of our company vehicles and did such an amazing job. We coordinated with Michelle Mason, and she was so great to work with! She was very kind and delivered on time, we would truly recommend them.

After working with multiple graphic companies, I can say I found the one. Michelle has been helpful from start to finish, and is quick to response. The business cards came out great, and I will continue to work with them for more marketing products.

I recently worked with HGS for my business signage needs and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team at [company name] provided exceptional customer service and made the entire process a breeze. They worked closely with me to understand my branding and messaging goals, and provided several creative design options to choose from. Once we finalized the design, they were quick to manufacture and install the signs on my property. The quality of the signs is outstanding and they have already helped me attract more customers to my business. I appreciated how [company name] kept me informed throughout the entire process and made sure I was satisfied with the final product. Overall, I highly recommend HGS for anyone in need of high-quality, custom signage. They exceeded my expectations in every way and I will definitely be using their services again in the future."

We used Houston Graphic Signs in an emergency vinyl repair on site for the NCAA event in Houston. We used their installer to come out to site to apply thee new vinyl and they color matched a pantone for an additional repair on PVC core to cover up a mistake. Great work. Michelle and Keith walked me through potential options and came out next day. Thank you
Jacob Apr 4, 2023
My overall experience with these guys is great! Keith is the person that helped me, and Brent is the one did the install. It was a little difficult due to my building structure, but they got it done. I will def use HGS again for my future projects ;)

Houston Graphic Signs have now done 2 of my staffing offices and they made the process so quick and easy. The products turned out beautifully and their customer service was outstanding. If we open additional offices or need other signs, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!

Very friendly and always easy to communicate with!
Jackie Follett Sep 9, 2022
I was tasked with locating a sign company to refurbish our company's sign. It was an interesting process, but when I finally found Houston Graphic Signs, it was smooth sailing from there. Michelle was incredibly responsive and helpful. She was with me every step of the way and had the way and was easy to communicate with. They took our requests and provided a great visual representation as well as another nice design idea that we hadn't thought of. The final product was installed and done within 30 minutes. Installers were early for the appointment and pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend HGS for a great product and smooth process. Thank you so much for making our sign pretty again.

Loved working with Michelle, very professional!
Enis Pasevic Jun 6, 2022
Our sign was delayed due to availability of materials. Once the materials were in, though, my sign was built and installed in no time at all. I highly recommend this company and will use them again.
Terri Kowalski Jun 6, 2022

The Bridge Insurance Group Aug 8, 2021
I had a great experience with Michelle at HGS. We we're in a huge time crunch to get our signage created in time for an upcoming tradeshow. I supplied HGS with the art, and unfortunately we had some issues with my files. HGS was able to re-create the artwork AND print my signage in less than a week. Top notch communication and exceptional prices. Can't recommend them enough.
Gus Wolk Aug 8, 2021
My experience with Houston Graphic Signs was nothing but amazing. Their team was efficient and helpful throughout the design and printing process. The vinyl graphics they printed for my company were exactly what we envisioned. I highly recommend HGS for all your printing needs!

Houston Graphic Signs is by far the best sign company in Houston, I am an assistant to a large local real estate brokerage in the area. We had an emergency regarding the HOA size requirements for a yard sign for one of our top agents about a year ago and Houston Graphic Signs were the only sign company able to expediate the sign and have it delivered asap! (believe me I probably called every sign company in Houston for help and Houston Graphic Signs were the only company that got it done) I have been working with Houston Graphic Signs for over a year now they produced high quality signs for our top producing agents (around 300) and worked with me regarding the art work and spreadsheets. Houston Graphics Signs always checks for errors on the art work to insure high quality. Michelle Mason who is one of the owners is always available! She always goes above and beyond even working late into the evening and weekends to assure our products arrive on time. You will not go wrong using Houston Graphic signs if you want high quality material priced at a competitive rate as well as top notch service. Thank you for everything Houston Graphic Signs Michelle Nagler

This company is fantastic. The design department was very receptive to our ideas for our logo. They were quick to offer suggestions for ways to make our company logo memorable. They offered multiple designs for us and were quick to present any changes that were made. They were very accommodating to our schedule for the installation on our truck. If you are looking for great service and a quality product, you need to look no further than Houston Graphic Sign Company. They will be doing all of our future graphic projects.
Timothy Winters Jun 6, 2021
The owner communicated with me on the order. It was awesome customer service and I highly recommend them. Delivery was quick, too.
Kristi Warnke Jun 6, 2021
Houston Graphic Signs is a fantastic business with amazing customer service and a fast turnaround! Michelle was extremely helpful and communicated with me every step of the way. I ordered a yard sign to announce my son's graduation from college and it is much nicer and bigger than I expected! It was also packed with great care which tells me how much they value their customers. I will definitely give Houston Graphic Signs more business in the future!
Liana Young Apr 4, 2021
We had an outstanding experience with our signs! HGS made decals for the sides of our trucks. Brent helped us with creating the right electronic file from one of our old files. Michelle has been proactive in her communications. Quality is far better than we have received from other sign companies. HGS will be our permanent sign company going forward!
Jason Bagley Mar 3, 2021
Went to Houston Graphic Signs to repair our sign. Another company did a poor install, but Houston Graphic Sign knew what they were doing and quickly got our sign looking good again.
Henry Emrik Feb 2, 2021
Houston Graphic Signs Company is such a great company to work with! I subcontracted them for a signage and wall graphic installation project I had in Houston and they have done a fabulous job. Very prompt responses and communication, great client service, and flexible to on-site changes. Would highly recommend!
Brianna Grattan Dec 12, 2020
They did an excellent job! they even insisted on redoing the first sign after the graphics were not perfect. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
janell breen Dec 12, 2020
Wonderful experience! Price was competitive, customer service and quality of work was better than expected. I had to replace a store front sign just and these folks went out of there way to make sure they understood what I wanted and exceeded expectations at every point of the process.
Mark Guzman Nov 11, 2020
I ordered a sign from Houston Graphic Signs, and they had several for the parents to choose from. I chose one, and had the sign the next day!!
Stacie Gage Nov 11, 2020
Michelle and her team work very quickly. When I placed my order with Houston Graphic Signs, I was on a tight deadline. Not only were they Friendly and Helpful but they were also Fast and Professional. The vinyl stickers I ordered look AMAZING and are made with quality materials to hold up to wear and tear! Thank you HGS for a job VERY well done!
EraKay Hill Nov 11, 2020
They made a custom yard sign for me very quickly. It was affordable, well made, and exactly what I was looking for. I have had several neighbors comment on it andI happily yell them where I got it. I would use Houston Graphic signs again without hesitation for any signage needs.
Deborah Demrest Nov 11, 2020
They think outside the box!!!
Sam Vacek Oct 10, 2020
I was impressed with the array and caliber of work that Houston Graphics Signs does and love supporting a local, business that does much of the work in-house, so you know where your “stuff” is and you know it will be done right. I recommend Houston Graphic Signs. Michelle Mason is fantastic at helping you update your signs to get brighter up or help you make what you have stand out increasing visibility. You will be pleased to work with HGS
