I want to give a shout out to Eberhart Sign & Lighting for the excellent job on the signage for Safety Training Center LLC! They were very professional and handled everything from getting the city approval to ensuring that we were completely satisfied with the final results. Thanks for a job well done!

I have used this Sue and her team countless times in the 7 years I have owned my business. It started when they made my beautiful lighted sign for my building. I thought that would be then end of my relationship with them, but that was not true. I have rented a billboard and had several signs made as our environment and process change. The products are always great; very professional looking and something that I am proud to display my logo. Great customer service makes them vey easy to use. Highly recommend.

Eberhart signs went over and above for my sign. They are precise and the sign was better than I ever expected. Top notch customer service, professionalism, and they really listened DJ help me achieve what I was looking for. I'm a new business owner in Edwardsville and using a small business was important to me. I'm so happy I chose them and I highly recommend you do too!

Eberhart relamped and revynled the sign at New Great Wall restuarant in Granite City and did a wonderful job in a timely manner. Ron Eberhart oversaw the job and communicated status etc. at all times. This family run business is my first choice in sign and lighting and I'd recommend their services to anyone.
