The primary owner of the company I work for, my boss, had used See More Signs for interior office…read moresignage from long before my employment. But when he passed away unexpectedly, as his only employee, I became responsible for placing the orders. Since he was very familiar with what they offer, had been to the shop many times, and knew exactly what he wanted, things seemed to go smoothly. My experiences have been less so, in part because of not being able to communicate with the same person in this small shop each time, or as each stage of an order progresses, whether by phone or email. I also didn't have the opportunity or freedom to just go in person. And they don't have any kind of printed or online catalog to see the options available, and there are hundreds of options available in every part of sign making! I discovered that the type sizes used on our tenant directories with stick-on type so we could change or add lines when our occupants changed were not consistent. So over the years one line or even part of a line was different in ways that were noticeable to me, as I had worked in advertising print production for years. But that had no bearing on my responsibilities or duties in this job. I had assumed that from one order to the next over the years See More Signs had a record of us and our orders, as a long-time customer, and knew exactly what we needed each time on the few kinds and sizes of signs we used, and that needed to be kept consistent in our small office building. That was definitely not the case, which has made it much more difficult for me to order things and have confidence in what I'll get. They do fix things when they get them wrong, but we'd have to do our entire wall directories over to make them consistent at this point. Also emails are missed or not responded to for fairly long periods of time, even in the middle of an order, and the next person I may talk to is not familiar with it. So ours might have been pushed behind other jobs, so we're delayed in getting ours. Or samples/proofs may be sent and I can measure and/or just see they're not the same, or don't match the lines above or below them, or from one tenant's office door to another. And we may go through multiple proofs by email. Their prices are generally reasonable, and the people in the shop I have spoken with, and finally got to meet when I went there on one of my days off, are all nice and personable. As are those who are sent to replace the removable changeable type on our directories, but even those folks didn't notice the differences, and use less definitive measuring tools than I did in advertising. The front part of See More Signs is impressive and a fascinating place, jam-packed with ready-made and made-to-order signs, samples of their work, and displays of some of the many, many background colors, surfaces, typefaces, sizes and colors, etc., available. It's almost overwhelming..

I wanted a sticker of a particular guitar with a well known classic rock band logo over the guitar…read moreneck. I wanted the guitar sticker to be full scale, the same dimensions as the actual guitar. I wanted this sticker and logo to be the center point of attention on the hood of my vinyl wrapped fun car. I first emailed the description and artwork to the owner of See More Signs. The owner replied saying that they could make a sticker of a full scale guitar and could do that in a few days. He gave me a price quote. A few business days later he sent me the artwork of the guitar and logo. The guitar and logo looked good but I needed the size of the guitar to be another half inch wider at the bottom of the guitar, another half inch wider in the middle of the guitar and the logo to be 2 inches wider and have at least another inch in height. I mentioned all this in my first email. The only revision made was they added some height to the logo. I emailed him back explaining revisions still needed to be made and I was told that their designer had several projects in front of mine but he would get back with me soon. About two weeks later I received what was supposed to be the revised artwork but nothing had changed! The dimensions were still the same so I went in to the store a few days later and the owner told me he had time to revise the dimensions while I was there. I stood right next to him as he revised the dimensions on his computer. Everything looked great, I was glad that I went in the store to make sure the revisions were made. I paid a partial payment for the sticker and left happy, believing the sticker and logo were going to be the exact dimensions that I needed them to be. A week later they called me to say the sticker was ready to be installed on my car. I drove there excited that this was finally going to be done but when I saw the sticker I quickly realized that the dimensions of the guitar and the logo had not be revised. The revised dimensions were not saved! It had been at least 4 weeks by this time since I first emailed them and the weather was beginning to get colder so I allowed them to put the sticker on my hood which I shouldn't have. They did an excellent job installing the sticker on the hood of my car but I was not pleased about the dimensions being inaccurate. The height of the guitar looks good but the width looks like crap, it's too thin or narrow. It may be "close enough" but I paid $236 for this sticker so "close enough" doesn't cut it. To them, that's not much money for a project, I know they take on much bigger projects from local businesses that earn them thousands of dollars, so I believe the issue why they screwed up my project was because they didn't care about my project, it was low priority being only $236. To me, $236 is a nice size chunk of money for a guitar sticker that turned out to be a waste of time, effort and money because it's simply not accurate. I emailed the owner a day later to let him know that I wasn't pleased about the sticker and logo dimensions not being correct and asked why the revised dimensions weren't saved. He didn't reply. He might not have read my email. I don't know. I chose See More Signs because they were close by to where I live at. I didn't take the time to find out if there was another sign company close by to me. I should have. I don't know why the location says "San Francisco" underneath my name at the top. I live in Kansas City.

My company was celebrating a special anniversary for the founder of our agency. We wanted to present him with a hand blown glass statue with an engraved plaque.

Their work is amazing and they are hands down THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I have encountered in years. I'm so impressed with them and will definitely use them again and again for all my special personalized gifts/awards/company items. 100% recommend them!

Their excuse was an employee had Covid and someone else had to do the work. No excuses when damaging someone's property.

Overland Park Art & Frame is a great little mom and pop frame store located in downtown OP. I found…read morethem on Yelp as we purchased some art that we needed framed, and I had read some horror stories about using big box stores like Michaels or Hobby Lobby. Framing has become such a niche specialty that it's hard to find a great little locally owned shop these days, so I'm grateful that this place exists. When I walked in with my print the owner was there and he took the time to spread it out, talk to me about the kind of paper it was on, the best way to choose a frame, and let me explore some different options before we landed on what materials to use. He did let me know about the wait as he is often backlogged for a few weeks/months, and once you drop your art with him you don't pay for it until you come back to collect the finished product. To be honest I considered giving four stars just because it was a few weeks longer than the quote and I had to call a few times to get an updated time frame, I wish they were a bit more proactive on that front as it started to worry me with the cost of the art etc. That being said, once I went in to pick it up it was literally perfect and I could tell that they take pride in what they do. On top of that the owner is genuinely kind and passionate about his work, which to me pushed this place back up into 5 star territory. Overall, it'll take some time, and this store is somewhat old school, but framing is an old school business and it's wonderful to be able to support local and get a top notch product at the same time. I'll for sure come back here next time I need something framed.
