    Dramatic lighting to enhance the community entry.

    Steve at Berkeley Signs is a master of his craft. From the start of our project Steve was enthusiastic, creative, responsive and a pleasure to work with. The sign installation was flawless and Steve was committed to get every last detail right. And it was refreshing to work directly with Steve...no sales people or account reps...just Steve. Whether you are looking for a new sign, or need to refurbish an existing sign, Steve is a great choice and highly recommended.

    Lobby sign
    Nina R.

    Steve was a pleasure to work with. His attention to detail was incredible. We wanted all our signs to look earthy but bold, and his execution was exceptional. Steve did our lobby signage and 20 different signs for all our conference rooms and labs. The lobby sign is breathtaking and gives off the perfect aesthetic and vibe when you walk in. The conference signs are all beautifully crafted, the right size, and installed at the right height. Steve is a true artist! Because the front lobby sign looked so stunning, we are already looking to add more large signage to our interior. Thanks Steve!

    Steve is a true artist. I purchased an auto repair property in San Francisco to relocate my shop to. I have a vision of what I want to show on my building. I've consulted with numerous painters and artists, all of which said it's a very difficult project and unwilling to take it on. I got all my nos out of the way and found Steve at Berkeley Signs. Steve is very affordable, responsive, professional, and has great vision for my building. He gave his inputs and shown what it can look like after he's done. I went along with Steve's ideas and the finished product is amazing. If you're in the market to make your building stand out from the crowd, contact Steve and have him paint your business name on your property. It's the most economical and cost effective way to advertise for your business. You'll be glad you did. I know I did. Steve at Berkeley Signs is my go to guy now.

    Steve was great to work with and the final product looks amazing! Steve was able to match the level of customization, color-matching and high-quality we were looking for. He hand-painted​ part of our design to match brand colors​ and created 3 different dimensions to give our sign the cool factor we wanted. Installation was under 1 hour and stress-free!

    Coming back for the final touches! Thanks!

    Steve at Berkeley Signs is great! Prompt response, clean work, sincerely put his own personal effort to make our sign as neat & professional as possible, and he even came back to do some final touches. Would definitely recommend him for business signs and windows or any project along those lines. Support your local businesses especially when the quality and customer service are top notch. Thanks again Steve, you da best.

    Steve just installed our sign and it's stunning. As an interior design firm, the details and overall aesthetic was really important to us. He advised us on how to convert our digital logo into a physical sign. He was extremely detailed. For example, we went through several iterations to ensure that the spacing of the font was correct and the lines on certain letters would translate well into a metal material. I would highly recommend him. Also, he was fun to talk to during installation which always make the experience more pleasant.

    Steve was very friendly and professional. Had my sign ready sooner than I thought would be possible in the middle of a global pandemic! He even offered a few alterations of my original design that I'm very happy with. Can't wait to get this puppy on the job site...as soon as I'm allowed to go back to work. 10/10 would recommend.

    Steve was just so awesome to work with patient, professional, and friendly. Definitely went above and beyond in bringing over samples of acrylics just so we can have an idea of what was possible. Once materials were available, he came over and installed our sign in no time flat! We would absolutely recommend Steve and Berkely Signs.

    Steve was really helpful coming up with our design and worked with the facade to determine the best layout, size and format. We had a lot of back and forth requests, and he always followed up to accommodate our questions and ideas. The end product was perfect, and we'd love to keep working with him for future projects.

    Steve installing the WOOD SALON flag. He also installed the hardware and gold leaf window sign. Steve is amazing!

    Steve is the BEST! I contacted Berkeley Signs recently because Steve is the person who applied the original signage to the window of our business about 17 years ago. The original signage held up immaculately over all these years. The reason I contacted Steve again is because the business changed names. I knew without question that I wanted to use the same person. Steve did an amazing job applying the gold leaf window sign, canvas flag and hardware to our store front. Steve is extremely detail oriented and clearly knows exactly what he is doing. I HIGHLY recommend Steve from Berkeley Signs!

    I had a very positive experience working with Steve to add new signs and update the overall look of my store in Oakland. He came to my shop, we talked at length about what we wanted and he provided great ideas. He then emailed me a detailed estimate, and I paid 50% down. We ended up going with two large signs on two sides of our building (we're on a corner) that reflected our logo. He hand made them from wood with lots of wonderful little touches that really show attention to detail and expeirence (recessed dots, bronze paint around the side edge of the signs). He also fixed/updated our sandwich board signs to have larger print and be more weather resistant, and did decals on our door and four of our windows. I couldn't be happier and overall felt like the price was fair, and it was approximately 3 weeks from start to finish (much faster than I thought it would be). I will definitely call Berkeley Signs again.

    Painted lines on concrete floor at our business - Steve was great to work with.
    Shoshanna M.

    Steve was awesome to work with, and his quality was top notch. We used Berkeley Signs to paint stripes on our concrete floor, to use as directional lines for our customers. Steve worked with our marketing team on the design, and he was very professional about making sure everything was perfect before painting. The end result was great. Over the years, the paint has worn out a little bit, due to thousands of people walking on the lines, but it has held up pretty well.

    St. John's Episcopal Church, Oakland - Entrance Sign

    Steve collaborated with our buildings and grounds committee to create a beautiful new sign for the entrance to St. John's Episcopal Church Oakland. He customized the colors and framing, and recommended an orange hanging sign to complement our new logo. The end result showcases Steve's craftsmanship and artistry.

    Steve does a great job. He's a little disorganized at first but once he's on your project the end result is well worth it.

    SUMMARY: Soulmind Studios always exceeds our expectations esp when it comes to customer service!…read moreTwo more projects done, check out the pics of our new custom planter and refurbished outdoor benches! BACKGROUND A friend of ours who we met on Yelp referred us to Soulmind a year ago and they've done some great work for us. Our latest projects: a custom sized planter and wood bench slats for some Berkeley Iron benches and side tables. PLANTER We have a space on our porch between two brick columns that desperately needed something in between to fill the void. Since we receive packages from time to time, what if we put a taller planter in that space that would not only beautify the space, but also hide any packages from porch pirates? Hence the planter idea was born. After taking measurements, we discussed the project with Erik and he gave us some ideas. I was thinking of something else but his design not only looks a lot bette than what I was thinking, but also it was easy to manufacture (thus saving us costs and assembly time). For this project unlike others, he drilled the pilot holes and even provided us the construction screws. How's that for service! We assembled the planter together using wood glue, screws, and lined it with a liner. Looks really nice on our porch! BERKELEY IRON BENCHES and SIDE TABLES The previous home owner didn't want to haul these benches as part of her move, so I saw the value in keeping them so we asked her to leave them for us. I disassembled one be happy and provided Erik and crew the dimensions. While it took some time to make as our order was back in their queue, the results were outstanding. We had some pieces that required a round over which we had to return to get done, but they got done without any fuss or extra charge. They used a marine grade wood and stained and sealed it to perfection. We're really happy. Each bench though takes a lot of work as we have to disassemble each bench, refurb and de-rust the hardware, clean, prime, and then paint each metal frame piece. Thus we only have one done so far. But check out the before and after pics. We are extremely happy with the results and we will save hundreds of dollars by taking the time to refurb these benches vs buying new ones. THANKS SOULMIND!

    This review is long overdue, but this place is so amazing I could not forget about them. I was…read morelucky enough to get referred to them through a number of different people. I got to work with Eric who helped us make these beautiful wooden signs exactly the way we wanted. He perfected the color, design, and size. He was very easy to work with and was very flexible in when I could pick them up as I worked really long hours as the commute from SF is quite painfully long. When I went inside he kindly gave me a tour to show me and the hubs all the neat machinery and projects they were working on from basic signs, to nic nacks, to full on flower/moss boards. It was a neat experience and it definitely made me see the time and effort Eric and his team put into each and every project. I will definately come back again if I ever need any woodwork designs again.
