Also, we pride ourselves on our high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. That means we will leave you with eye-catching, attention-grabbing signage for your business or organization every time.

Fabrication

After creating the design, comes the process of manufacturing your sign, also known as the fabrication process. The fabrication process can vary, depending on the type of sign and materials utilized in its build. If you’d like to learn more about the different types of fabrication we do, you can contact one of our sign experts at (805) 641-1387. You’ll be glad you did! We work hard to ensure that you get a beautiful, professionally-made sign that closely matches your vision and brand.

Installation

Remember how we said no job is too big or too small for Dave’s Signs? Well, with commercial sign installation, this is where the rubber really hits the road. For example, check out the impressive “W” signage above that we did for Oakwood Communities’ Wagon Wheel town square landmark sign in Oxnard.

In addition, our technicians know the local ordinances that govern custom signs in Camarillo. We’ll work with you to make sure your sign is installed safely and meets all city ordinances.

Service & Repair 

As a part of Camarillo sign service & repair,  if signage is damaged in an accident, neglected, or was subjected to bad weather or vandalism, we can work to repair, maintain, or restore all aspects of the sign. This includes the sign’s structural integrity, electrical and lighting componentry, and overall visual appeal of the sign.

Dave’s Signs can also improve on the signs you already have. And there are many benefits to improving them – particularly if you are experiencing a business slow down or slump. The resulting sign will really demand attention, providing you with the kind of signage that changes your message or attracts more attention.

We can also evaluate any sign that is overdue for service and make repairs or restorations as needed. In addition, our team will work closely with you to make sure that your project is completed on time and within budget.

Maintenance 

For our maintenance services in Camarillo, we have a fleet of boom trucks to get to any hard-to-get-to areas. Common maintenance services we do include anything from replacing burnt-out bulbs to cleaning dirty signage, Here’s a little bit more about what these services entail:

• • Replacing burnt-out bulbs: Illuminated signage typically runs night and day, causing the bulbs to eventually burn out. Burnt-out bulbs in a sign can reflect on your business adversely, especially if the remaining word has nothing to do with your original message or is embarrassing. We can easily replace burnt-out lights in your illuminated signage.
  • Cleaning dirty signage: Interior and exterior signage are constantly exposed to grime and pollution. The smudging left behind can make lettering and logos hard to read. Additionally, dim bulbs may have lost their illumination. We’ll clean your signs, so they can regain their allure and get your business noticed once again.
  • Fixing dullness: Outside signs take a lot of abuse from the weather and other external elements. The result? Signs deteriorate and begin to look dull. We can repaint your signs or UV laminate them to shield them from the sun’s rays.

Neon Restoration 

Our professionals are also available for the restoration of neon and LED signs. We know how important it is for businesses such as movie theatres, restaurants, and hospitality industries to continue operating 24/7. Our team will give you a fast response, often on the same day

We understand the requirements of our national sign customers, and we have worked closely with large companies for many years. We also have an on-site neon facility staffed with an experienced, professional team of technicians.

Other Specialty Services

Other specialty services we offer (but are not limited to) include sign LED retrofit, parking lot light service, site surveys, and permit acquisition.

In addition to servicing local clients in Camarillo, Dave’s Signs also provides restoration, repair, and maintenance services to national companies that are working on projects in the greater Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Ventura County areas.

Mexican restaurants, with their spicey and deliciously flavored foods, put us in a festive mood. Meanwhile, California has the highest number of Mexican Restaurants in the United States. In fact,  industry reports put the numbers at nearly 75,000 for 2021. With that much competition comes the need for commercial signage that sets you apart from the rest. However, what’s the best way to do this? To answer that, we’ve put together a guide of Mexican restaurant sign styles that help get your business noticed.

Channel Letter Signs – El Dorado

The legend of El Dorado and its treasures enticed the Spanish Conquistadors to come to Mexico and South America to find it. Likewise, diners today are lured to the popular El Dorado Mexican Restaurant by their densely packed menu of all the usual tasty suspects and the bold & gold channel letter sign on the building’s facade.

 Neon Restoration Sign – Pepe’s 

California has a rich history when it comes to Mexican restaurants and culture. Amazingly, several of these eating spots are still owned by descendants of the original owners. Unfortunately, as time passes by, these nostalgic and beautiful signs fall into disrepair. When they do, sign companies restore them to their original glory. The beautiful neon sign Dave Signs restored for Pepe’s is an excellent example of this.

Illuminated Sign – Beach House Tacos

The theme is sunny beaches and to-die-for tacos at Beach House Tacos in Ventura, CA. Additionally, beachgoers who wonder what good seafood and other fare await them inside are guided there by the bold, Illuminated Sign.  Barn lighting illuminates eye-catching dimensional letters and gives them a drop shadow effect.

Made to Last – Spencer Mackenzie’s

Spencer Makenzie’s, like Beach House Tacos, offers Mexican food oceanside. Of course, the sea spray can be tough on any beachside sign. Therefore, a rugged design is a must-have. Dave’s Signs creates beachfront signs that can withstand the surrounding ocean elements, while still grabbing passerby’s attention.

Grand Opening – Fast Food Mexican Restaurant Sign for Lalo’s Jr

Grand openings can be exciting, and Mexican food devotees often can’t wait to try out the new offerings. The Mexican restaurant sign we created for Lalo’s Jr.’s Fast Food Restaurant’s opening is as varied and colorful as their menu.

Many design elements make a commercial sign a hit, including eye-catching color, font, and contrast. Meanwhile, professional custom signs bring together all the characteristics of great signage in a way that no off-the-shelf sign can. Here are some excellent ways that nicely-done custom signs promote and make your business unique.

#1: Custom Signs Give Visibility to Your Brand

Unfortunately, run-of-the-mill signage does not put your brand in the right light. Building a brand people recognize is best laid at the feet of expert signmakers who design professional custom signs. One of the simplest and most common ways to grab attention and grant visibility is by designing your custom sign with a dynamic logo and other interactive elements.

#2: High-Quality Professional Custom Signs Increase Foot Traffic

According to a survey conducted by FedEx Office, high-quality signs increase foot traffic and make people want to come inside. The survey found that 8 in 10 people said they had entered a business or store they had never been to before, merely based on its signs. That’s nearly 76%! Of course, the brilliant sign design needed for this effect is hard to capture with the ho-hum approach of generic signs.

#3: The Right Amount of Signs Keep You Competitive

Can you believe the absence of a sign will deter customers from entering your store? It will, and if you are wondering what the magic number of signage is, it’s around 2-3 signs around the storefront. Additionally, you can amp up storefront signage appeal with contrasting colors. In fact, black and white can impart one of the strongest contrasts. But, while fonts can create distinctive contrast, don’t go overboard with them and decrease your sign’s legibility and aesthetics.

#4: Good Kerning Gives Symmetry & Unique Looks

Kerning is a type of negative space, and it is where letters are close or far apart. Letters spaced too closely or too far apart define bad kerning. Kerning that is subpar is pretty hard on the eyes and screams unprofessionalism.

Nevertheless, it works well on promoting things such as homemade lemonade stands for kids and side-of-the-road fruit & vegetable stands – both of which typically feature charming handmade scribbled letters and misspellings on their signs.

That being said, it’s important to use good kerning to promote your business, especially when it comes to Channel Letter and Dimensional Letter Signs. The assorted good kerning and font styles we did for the Beach House Fish Dimensional Letter Sign above really looks professional, has great symmetry and overall appeal.

The best signs attract and retain loyal customers to your business. Unfortunately for business owners, there is a virtual sea of signage out there. Given the wide range of commercial signage design options, your shop sign needs to incorporate signage designs to create a lasting and positive impression. The following outdoor signage design ideas will inspire you and boost your business presence in the competitive market.

What Makes a Brilliant Outdoor Sign Design?

It takes all of 7 seconds to make that precious first impression. Outdoor signage is no exception to the rule. For this reason, the importance of making yours compelling with a brilliant design can’t be overstated.

Meanwhile, the right combination of design elements is a winning card for businesses. When these elements come together, they grant a distinctive visual appeal to your company’s exterior.

Consider using the following tasteful elements to encourage customers to trust you immediately:

Prominent 3D Signs

First up are sign designs ideas that rely on three-dimensional effects.  A three-dimensional sign design really pops and makes the premise of your shop more inviting.  Effective ones are made size-appropriate to the exterior.

They should also be affixed prominently on the facade in a way that doesn’t compete with nearby signage. The Channel Lettering of Toppers Pizza shown above does it right. It is as prominent as necessary, increasing the overall visibility of the restaurant.

Eyecatching Directional Signs

Eyecatching directional signs can turn your business into an organized haven. They keep people on track, assisting visitors in easily finding their way. What’s more? The more at ease visitors feel navigating your property, the more likely it is they’ll stick around and return again.

Appropriate Lighting Styles

Special types of lighting illuminate features and borders. Additionally, different styles really give an array of different effects. For example, the halo effect in Bella Luci’s outdoor business sign really hits it out of the park. Feminine design elements like Bella’s cursive letters work wonders, too.

Signs That Are on Point

Hands down, your sign design needs to be on point. Knowledge of color theory works well here. When deftly used, it conveys the right message. For example, pastels like those above might suit those of a child-theme outlet. Adults and kids alike will consider it cool outdoor signage – which is what you want for this kind of signage.

On the other hand, a black or bold design would suit an attorney’s brand. The theme would project a professional touch and assert a sense of authority and trustworthiness, resonating with clients seeking expert legal advice or representation.

Memorable Storefront Decor

Signs on your facade depict your identity strongly. They are just what you need for busy people on the go. Just check out this grocery store signage design we created for T Mobile that captures attention with its vibrant color palette.  Additionally, tricks such as tasteful jokes or deviations in spelling are useful. They make your establishment more approachable and memorable.

Wooden Decor

Wood is a  charming option for signage. It’s also durable. The Black Bear Diner’s design elements combine, adding wood’s distinctive, natural flair.

First impressions matter when it comes to your business. So, if you want to give a brilliant first impression, Dimensional Letter Signs will do the trick. This post discusses what they are and the ways in which they can elevate your business.

What is a Dimensional Letter Sign?

Dimensional Letter Signs are an extremely popular choice of signage. One of the things that make them so appealing is that you perceive them as solid instead of flat. Their innovative design makes the letters seem to float in the air. This illusion gives them their distinctive 3D effect.

The letters in Dimensional Signs are fabricated from materials such as acrylic, metal or plastic, which are mounted individually to the wall or a frame. These 3-D signs work well for both the exterior or interior of a building and they can come in lighted or unlighted options.

Dimensional Sign Letters Help You Stand Out

Flat signs do the job in some circumstances. However, in downtown areas and shopping plazas, drivers and pedestrians are constantly inundated with run-of-the-mill signs.

The key to beating out the competition is to grab the attention of your patrons immediately. Rest assured that the polished appearance of these special signs distinguishes your business from the rest.

Dimensional Letter Signs Advertise and Promote

Often, customers only visually engage with signs for a few moments. That gives them time enough to decide if they want to come in or pass your business by.

Also, an attention-getting message is critical. Meanwhile, the ones conveyed by Dimensional Lettering are one of the best (and not to mention the easiest) ways to advertise and promote your business.

Choose Metal for an Extremely Durable Option

Dimensional Letter Signs made of metal are extremely durable and long-lasting.  In short, they will stand up to all types of weather conditions.

Make Your Business Pop with Dimensional Letter Signs

Dave’s Signs creates Dimensional Letter Signs that have a professional, high-end aesthetic. To find out more about them and the other sign styles we offer, you can call us at (805) 641-1387. Alternatively, you can contact us online for a quote.
