Last spring, a talented advertising agency in Phoenix designed a vibrant logo for my new coffee shop. The excitement faded instantly when our cheap online replica arrived with dead gas tubes and sloppy wiring. 

That disaster made me realize that transforming digital artwork into glowing glass requires a true master craftsman rather than a generic sign printer.

So I contacted local fabrication workshops, visited glass studios in person, and talked to restaurant owners about their displays to find the best neon sign makers in Phoenix. 

Below is my guide to artists who make storefronts shine.

Custom Sign Type & Size	Estimated Price Range
Small (12″ – 24″)	$100 – $300
Medium (24″ – 36″)	$300 – $800
Large (36″ – 60″)	$800 – $2,500+
Commercial Business Signage	$1,000 – $10,000+

1. Grace Sign Group

Website: https://gracesigngroup.com/

Address: 21640 N 19th Ave, Suite C-3, AZ 85027

Contact: (928) 772-4070

Hours: Monday-Thursday: 8:00 AM-4:30 PM; Friday: 8:00 AM-2:00 PM; Saturday-Sunday: Closed

What I like about Grace Sign Group is that they handle the full signage process, from custom design through final installation. 

Their project management team handles the details rather than leaving you to coordinate everything yourself. 

Their focus on illuminated signage also makes them a good option if you want custom LED or neon displays that fit your brand.

They’re also a licensed and insured contractor registered with the ROC, which adds some peace of mind for commercial projects.

Additionally, they can fabricate custom illuminated displays through regional manufacturing facilities, giving them the capacity to handle different types of projects.

The main drawback is the manufacturing location. Their primary plant is in Prescott Valley, so freight and production logistics could stretch the timeline for local projects.

2. Royal Sign Company

Website: https://royalsign.net/

Address: 2631 N. 31st Ave., AZ 85009

Contact: (602) 278-6286

Hours: Monday-Thursday: 8:00 AM-5:00 PM; Friday-Sunday: Closed

Royal Sign Company pairs family-owned customer care with multi-generational expertise. Now in its third generation, the team brings over six decades of experience to every project.

I also like the range of services they handle. Their team manages projects through installation and takes on both regional and national commercial work. 

Their large neon production lines are another advantage if you need signage at a larger scale.

The customer I spoke with also points to professional crews that clean up after the job. That’s a small detail, but I think it matters with a major installation.

However, their facility on North 31st Avenue is geared toward industrial manufacturing rather than quick retail pickups. That may not suit casual buyers looking for a simple sign purchase.

The only company I trust

I have worked with Royal Sign a dozen times over the last couple of years with my antique gas and oil signs as well as my neon signs. They always are professional, courteous, do a great job and even clean up after the job. They are the only company I trust and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dane and his crews for any job! They do fantastic work!

Gorgeous sign

First time working with Ray & and staff at Royal, and it won’t be the last!

From start to finish, everything went smooth and fast…and in the end our sign was installed EARLIER than expected. And it looks gorgeous.

Thanks to everyone @ Royal Sign.

3. Arizona Custom Signworks

Address: 20819 N. 25th Pl, Ste #B104, AZ 85050

Contact: (602) 325-3205

Hours: Monday-Friday: 8:00 AM-5:00 PM; Saturday-Sunday: Closed

Arizona Custom Signworks is appealing if you want one company to handle your signage from design through installation. They can help with neon signs while also guiding you through local permitting requirements and strict city regulations.

I especially like their knowledge of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. That can make a difference for commercial properties where signage needs to meet specific standards. 

Their support also continues after installation, with maintenance and repair services available for years. That’s a big plus, since regular electricians in Phoenix may not know how to fix neon.

The downside is the location. They’re in the northern Deer Valley area, so clients in the southern part of the metro area may see delays

I cannot recommend Arizona Custom Signworks enough!

After our custom neon sign (purchased from another company that’s unfortunately no longer in business) stopped working, I hired three different electricians to come out and try to fix it. Every single one of them told me the same thing: “It can’t be fixed.”

Then we found Dillon at Arizona Custom Signworks—and everything changed.

Great experience

Working with Dillon and Aerick at Arizona Custom Signworks was a great experience! They were incredibly communicative during our design and install process. They did what they said they were going to do and they did it well, making the entire process easy from start to finish. It always nice to work with good people who truly care about their customers and the quality of their work. We love the finished product and will definitely be using them again in the future!

4. YESCO

Website: https://www.yesco.com/phoenix/

Address: 6725 W Chicago St, Chandler, AZ 85226

Contact: (480) 449-3726

Hours: Monday-Friday: 7:00 AM-5:00 PM; Saturday-Sunday: Closed

YESCO makes sense to me if fast repairs and established experience are important. 

They offer custom illumination along with emergency maintenance, including repairs for more complicated outdoor signs. Their quick response can be especially valuable when a broken sign affects your business.

I also like their energy-efficient retrofitting programs for older fixtures. Their decades of industry experience add some confidence when you’re updating an existing sign rather than starting from scratch. 

For larger custom projects, they also offer flexible financing, which can make the cost easier to manage.

Customer feedback supports the service side, with many mentioning quick turnaround times, reasonable pricing, and professional work.

Just note that even when you finance a custom neon sign, you’ll still need to pay 10% upfront. That’s something to account for when planning your budget.

High quality work

Great experience. Very quick turnaround time. High quality work, quick turn around time and extremely reasonable price. Thank you very much.

Update: 3/22 I continue to call YESCO for all of our neon needs. Thanks for the great service every time.

Awesome work

My husband and I own a bar with a “one of a kind” neon sign out front. I contacted this company, they were fast to get us on the schedule! Their work was awesome, the cost was great and they were very professional. We will use them again.

5. Signarama

Website: https://signarama.com/locations/az-phoenix-arcadia

Address: 4820 E McDowell Rd, Ste 102, AZ 85008

Contact: (602) 954-4680

Hours: Monday-Friday: 8:30 AM-5:00 PM; Saturday-Sunday: Closed

Signarama gives you a choice between traditional glass neon and modern LED options. I like having both choices since glass tubes can provide a classic look while LED materials offer a lower-maintenance alternative.

Their team also provides design consultations to help match the sign to your brand. They can guide you through municipal permit requirements and offer financing for larger signage projects. 

Durability is another point I like. They use high-grade materials designed to handle harsh summers, while still offering energy-efficient signage that can fit the style you want.

The main downside is parking. Their East McDowell Road storefront sits in a busy plaza, and parking can be very limited during peak hours. That could make in-person visits frustrating.

Quality work

Love the work they do and the quality of work. The whole team from sale rep to the owner are extremely friendly & professional. They even respond to me over the weekends. That is service. If you are looking for high quality work and people take ownership of what they do, look no further, you got your crew here. Highly recommend !

Extremely professional

Signarama has now done two jobs for me – and both times were extremely professional, polite and excellent work! I’ve been recommending them to my landlords and will continue to utilize their creativity and design exclusively.

Blue Arizona Hair pics are the end result – Red Arizona Hair pics were how we started.
