Sean and his team at SouthPaw Signs are the best of the best when it comes to finding the right ones to create your company business sign. They can help you with all aspects from the initial design to the actual installation of the final piece. Samples of their work are everywhere in county, just drive downtown in SLO and all the signs that stand out as works of art were probably designed by SouthPaw. Thanks again, Brent. Caltec Computers

Sean at Southpaw Signs is an amazing artist. He created a logo for my business and worked very well with the direction I wanted to go with for the look I had in mind. If you see beautiful signage in the area chances are it was done by Southpaw Signs.

We were in need of a new sign for The Gold Concept. Something modern and unique. After approaching others who souls not come through for us we were introduced to Sean from Southpaw. Right away we knew he was the man for the job. He is an energetic creator. You can tell he is very passionate about what he does. Had a lot of great ideas. And better than just great ideas he an his crew have the skills to pull off those great ideas. If there were 6 stars I would give them 6. If you are ever in need of a sign these are the people to go to. Great craftsmanship, very reasonable pricing, and best of all great to work with!

In 2008 I needed a sign for a development in San Luis Obispo. It was designed locally and Southpaw signs built it. Unfortunately, the person who designed the sign did not involve me in the details regarding the durability of the finish on the sign. As a result, the finish deteriorated terribly over time. We spent a lot of time discussing the options. To make a long story short, Sean at Southpaw could not have been more professional.

He wanted to make sure I was a happy customer. He eventually took down my sign, brought it to his shop, completely re-faced the entire sign and re-installed it. He could not have been more professional in standing behind his work and wanting to make sure that a sign that he built would look like a high quality sign. I cannot recommend Southpaw highly enough! ---Fred
