A great company to work with! They were extremely helpful with showing us how to use our new digital sign. The owners and employees were always readily available with any questions we had. I would highly recommend them.

We just had our sign installed and we could not be more excited. Mike and his crew were there through the whole process and the sign came out better than we anticipated. As the guys were checking the electric, a woman walked right up after seeing the sign and signed up for classes! Thank you Mike for a quality job! We highly recommend Skylight Signs for all of your outdoor sign needs to advertise your business.

Have worked with Jim at Skylight on a couple of projects now and have been very happy with the results. They stand behind their work, stick to their schedule and have a fair price. I look forward to working with Skylight on future projects. Thank you!
