Sign Repair in Big Rapids, MI
Pole sign dark? Face cracked? Streamline Signs services lighted signs for Big Rapids businesses, about 45 minutes down US-131 from our Cadillac shop.
Sign repair for Big Rapids and Mecosta County
Big Rapids businesses depend on being seen, whether that is a pole sign near a US-131 exit, a storefront along Michigan Avenue downtown, or a shop serving the Ferris State crowd. When the sign goes dark or a face blows out in a storm, customers driving by may not see you at all.
We are straight up US-131 in Cadillac, roughly 45 minutes away, which makes Big Rapids a regular, practical trip for our crew. Send photos when you call so we can plan the visit and bring what the job is likely to need.
You will be working with a small, experienced team: three people, each with 20+ years in signs and vinyl, based at the former Unique Sign Company shop. Jim Collins, the original owner of Unique Sign Company, works with Streamline.
Veteran-owned. Streamline Signs LLC is owned by a 100% disabled veteran.

Why fix it now
A dark sign costs you after sunset
In Northern Michigan winters it is dark well before dinner. A sign with half its lamps out, or a face that has gone yellow, is hard to read from the road for a big part of the business day.
Many older signs are good candidates for an LED retrofit: the cabinet stays, the lighting inside is replaced. We will tell you honestly whether a repair, an LED upgrade, or a new face makes the most sense for your sign.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Should I repair it or upgrade to LED?
It depends on the sign. The written estimate often lays out options, such as a straight repair or an LED retrofit, so you can choose. Nothing is done without your approval.
What if the sign is up high?
Pole signs, pylons, and high channel letters often need a lift. We arrange lift access as part of the job and talk it through with you before any work is scheduled.
Can you match my existing logo on a new face?
Yes. Send your logo or a photo of the current sign and we will lay out new face graphics for your approval before anything is produced.
