Refurbished: Paint, Repaint & Sign Cleaning

Your sign structure may still be solid while the finish or day-to-day appearance has slipped. We refurbish existing signage so it looks intentional again, without always buying new.

Paint & repaint

What we do: We repaint or touch up existing sign components when the substrate is still good: pole and cabinet signs, monument bases and enclosures, raceways, and channel letter returns and trim where a fresh coat restores your brand colors. We prep surfaces (faded paint, chalking, oxidation, minor rust), match corporate or custom colors where you need consistency, and apply finishes suited to outdoor exposure so the sign holds up.

When it makes sense: The sign is structurally sound but looks tired; you’re rebranding and need the housing to match new art; or you want to extend life before a full replacement. Repaint pairs well with new faces and LEDs on pole signs, or stands on its own if you only need the cosmetic refresh.

Sign cleaning

What we do: We clean commercial signage so it reads clearly from the road: wash and detail faces (acrylic, polycarbonate, flex faces), cabinets and exposed metal, edges around letters, and diffusers where safe to treat. We remove built-up grime, pollen, dust, and environmental staining that dulls illumination and makes a business look neglected, using methods appropriate for electrical signage and lift access when the sign is elevated.

When it makes sense: Before a grand reopening, after a long wet season, for property manager turnover, or on a scheduled maintenance plan so small problems don’t become emergency calls. Cleaning is often the fastest win for curb appeal.

Result: A sign that looks maintained, not abandoned, often alongside our repair, retrofit, or full pole refresh. Washington and Oregon; boom lift and crane when the job requires it.

Elevated signs get the same care, cleaning, inspection, and repair with proper access.

Neon Sign Repair: Window Neon, OPEN Signs & Custom Pieces

When your neon goes dark, flickers, or loses a section, you don’t always need a whole new storefront package, we troubleshoot and repair glass neon and its electrical side.

What we repair: Window neon and border pieces; classic OPEN signs and similar single-message units; custom script, logos, and bar or restaurant neon. Common fixes include failed transformers, bad electrodes, gas issues, broken or leaking glass, loose standoffs and clips, and secondary wiring problems that mimic a bad tube.

Signs we didn’t install: Yes, we regularly service neon from other shops or older installs. If a section is beyond repair, we can fabricate replacement neon to match: custom neon fabrication.

When to consider LED instead: If you want minimal ongoing service or your jurisdiction favors LED retrofits, ask about neon-to-LED, we’ll compare honestly with repair. LED retrofit.

Result: Your neon back to a steady glow with work scoped to what’s actually failed, Washington and Oregon.

Pole Sign Repaint, New LEDs & New Faces

A full refresh on a sound structure: repaint, new illumination, and new faces. Part of our refurbished services when you want the pole sign to look and perform like new.

What we do: We repaint the sign cabinet and frame so they look like new, install new LED illumination and fixtures so the sign stays bright and efficient, and install new faces so your branding and message are updated. The pole and housing stay in place; you get an updated look and performance without the cost of a full replacement.

When it makes sense: Your pole and cabinet are structurally fine but the finish is faded or scratched, the old lighting is dim or failing, or you’ve rebranded and need new faces. We often reuse your existing housing and wiring where it’s still good, which keeps the job faster and more affordable.

Result: Same location, same structure, refreshed appearance, reliable illumination, and clear messaging. Our work is backed by our standard warranties: 1-year labor, 5-year LED, 2-year power supply where applicable.
