Getting to Know the People Behind Every Sign

As the holiday season approaches, we’d like to share a more personal side of Distinct Sign Solutions. After all, our company is only as strong as the team behind it. Each person here plays a unique role in creating the signs that brighten our community—whether they’re crafting monument signs at ground level, installing lettering high above the streets, or carefully applying vinyl to shop windows. We invite you to take a closer look at the everyday efforts of our local sign makers and learn how their hard work brings your hometown’s businesses to life.

Our foundation builders

When you see a sturdy monument sign outside a business or a directional sign along the road, it all starts with a team digging in—literally. We handle site preparation, set the base, and make sure everything is strong and stable. Their hands-on work at the start guarantees that the final product will stand the test of time.

The electrical pros (UL Certified, Too!)

Illuminated signs turn heads after dark, and that’s no accident. Our electrical experts make sure each sign is safely wired and built to last, all under the watchful eye of UL certification. In plain terms, that certification means our lighting meets rigorous safety standards—giving you peace of mind that your bright, glowing sign won’t come with hidden electrical risks.

Vinyl application specialists: Precision and personality

From storefront windows and company vehicles to walls and custom displays, vinyl graphics add that perfect finishing touch. Our vinyl pros place every letter and logo with care. Windows, doors, walls, cars – we can turn any surface into a polished, professional brand statement.

Acrylic artisans: Shaping the perfect finish

Acrylic signs need a careful, steady approach. Our production team members are like craftspeople in a workshop—cutting, polishing, and assembling each piece until it shines. Their attention to detail results in signs that look crisp, clean, and ready to impress.

Going the extra mile (and height) with our installation team

Once a banner or sign is ready, it’s time for our installers to step into their bucket trucks and hoist the signage high above the pavement. Whether it’s blending a building sign into the historic charm of downtown Fredericksburg or posting a coming soon banner on a storefront, our team takes pride in a careful, no-fuss installation that gets the job done right the first time.

The “Sign Doctors”: Our sign repair technicians

Not every project begins with a fresh start. When a beloved sign needs a bit of TLC—maybe a new bulb, a fresh coat of paint, or a quick patch-up—our repair technicians give it new life. They help local businesses keep their signs looking sharp without starting from scratch.
