We are starting a new business and wanted to find a locally owned business to create custom signage for our new Transit Connect van. I shopped around with the "fast and the rama's" but I wanted something unique and customized. I found Applied Sign's web site and looked at all of the beautiful art work that Gary has created for his customer's. Gary's experience and education is very impressive. I knew that this was a business worth checking out. I went to meet with Gary and I was very impressed with his customer service and knowledge. He will help you to design the most effective design for your business. Gary provided exceptional customer service and expertise from beginning to the completion of our project! Our van looks beautiful just as we had imagined it would. Very clean and effective! I would recommend that you meet with Gary at Applied Signs! Gary has provided the very best customer service and expertise possible! Great Job Gary! read more

Dear Gary, I can not thank you enough, Customers Gary has gone above and beyond for us. I called Gary to come out and measure our business sign and within minutes he was here to help. He emailed me the same day with a layout and picture of our new sign for approval. I was impressed. I gave him approval without thinking about the 3 shops well let's just say they all had the same business phone numbers. After I realized what I had done a week had gone by I panicked. I called Gary and with calmness, he assured me he could fix the problem as he did. Well, I messed up again and gave him the incorrect phone number. I THOUGHT OMG REALLY!! Called Gary again and he rescued me for the 2nd time at no charge. I can't say enough about this Business. 20 stars from Local Heroes. Gary you are simply the best of the best. read more

I met Gary through the Sonoma County Go Local Coop. I love the idea of using local businesses as much as I can. The outcome was excellent. I had great communication all the way along. He pre-planned the graphics on my truck, made excellent suggestions and even sent me photographs of how the signage would look before we placed them on the truck. I dropped off my truck and picked it up after hours... It looks GREAT. The signs POP out... but not obnoxious. Gary did a great job. I've had a lot of people comment on the signage. Anyway, I would highly recommend Applied Signs and Gary. Bonus... He would be a fun person to go have a beer with after work. read more

We needed a bunch of green address signs made to hang on a post on our property, and Applied Signs was the perfect place to go. Gary was professional, and super helpful. As a new mom with an infant, I only have half my brain anywhere I go, and Gary was very understanding! When I ordered the signs I had asked for them to be only one-sided and he made them beautifully exactly how I asked. Then after showing the new signs to my husband, he told me they're actually supposed to be two-sided and I went back to Applied Signs to see what could be done. But Gary was very kind and understanding to this new mama, and gladly made the signs double-sided for a very good deal. Would go back again for the great customer service and beautiful work. read more
