About Advanced Electric Signs

Second-generation family-owned since 1992, the third generation is on the way. Installation, repair, and custom fabrication across Washington and Oregon. Same values, same standards.

Honest Work & Signs We’re Proud Of

In 1992 we opened Advanced Electric Signs with a simple idea: businesses deserve a sign partner that shows up, does the job right, and stands behind it. That’s still how we run the place.

When you reach out, you talk to Dave, Tara, Woody, or someone else on the team who knows your project. You won’t get passed to a call center or a random dispatcher. Just straight talk and work we’re proud to put our name on.

We’re family-owned and in our second generation of running the shop, and the third generation is growing up in the business, learning the trade the same way.
