We have had several signs done by Poyant over the last 15 years, They have been flawless in every aspect of their business from the purchase to the installations and the service. But most important they do not just care about your sign business they care about you and your family. I will attest to that personally. You get what you pay for and they give their best each and every time. I highly recommend Poyant over any other sign company.

We're a small business in downtown New Bedford and had reached out to Poyant to get a sign made. After my call was not returned, I went in person to their facility and discussed what we're interested in. After good initial customer service, we proceeded to be ignored for weeks. Repeated requests for updates on a quote were met with responses they were busy and always would expect to see a quote "next week, " week after week.
After they asked us for a design from a DIFFERENT sign company to expedite the process, we continued to wait. In the last two weeks I have left multiple voicemails and emails and received ZERO response. After 6 weeks from my reaching out initially, I am beyond fed up. Perhaps we aren't a significant enough client to interest them but it is incredibly unprofessional to completely ignore a potential customer seeking a $3,000-4,000 job. Look elsewhere for a company who will appreciate your business.

If I could give 10 stars to Poyant and the service department I would. This company not only supports local community events (mine for the last 3 years) but as a customer, I couldn't ask for anything more. The Service department specifically deserves some recognition for an outstanding job. if every business acted this way in the community with a staff this professional the world would be a better place. I give them my highest endorsement.
