Hamilton Broadway Signs

12 years is my guesstimate. I mean its been soooo many years of good service, accurate quotes, timely installs, that frankly I am a little embarrassed I haven’t done this sooner:(
I run a fleet of 8 trucks that take some abuse. Leslie always does her best to meet our schedule for new signs on the whole fleet. She has run hundreds of additional signs in all shapes and sizes for the business over the years.
Employees and trucks come and go but Leslie is our rock solid go-​to for any and all signage. Thanks Leslie, You rule!
Wheres the box to click the 6^th and 7^th stars?

Stop looking. Go here. Leslie is on it! She is responsive, friendly and knows her stuff. So very easy to work with and very reasonable prices. She just wrapped our work van with logos. The process from start to finish was breezy. What a great, local, small business.

Leslie did an A-​frame and a hanging sign for our business (Blue Sky Acupuncture Studio) after I compared three different shops. All three sign companies were in the same price range — the difference in the finished product is what affected our decision to go with Leslie. You could pay the same amount (or more!) and get a craptacular plastic thing that will blow down during the first autumn wind, or you could go to Leslie and get a high-​quality plywood frame that is rock solid and looks gorgeous. She made some very savvy suggestions for the design and was professional and courteous during the whole process. We really have the nicest signs on our block of Piedmont Ave. We have to change some information on the A-​frame and she is charging us next-​to-​nothing to change the lettering. Save yourself some time and support a local, woman-​owned business for the same amount of money as the bigger shops.

Leslie is very professional and courteous and I was totally satisfied with my sign. I had called some other sign places to get information and they were pretty rude; they seemed irritated about answering basic questions. Leslie was like a breath of fresh air.

Leslie’s awesome! She made a beautiful sign for my business, Nick’s Pizza, in North Oakland.
She was so fast, so friendly and total reasonable rates for working with a really quality craftswoman.
I’m elated with the work that she did for me, and happy that I trusted her with such an important part of my businesses identity.

Leslie made the outdoor signs for our business, the Temescal Acupuncture Center, five years ago, and they’ve held up beautifully. More recently she made the signs for my brother-in-law’s café in El Cerrito, which are also fab. Great service, great product, reasonable rates … what are you waiting for? Look no further.

I am a huge proponent of using locally owned businesses as much as possible, whenever possible.
So when it came time to get signage for my business, I was in luck! About two blocks away is a very cool sign maker named Leslie who owns and operates Hamilton Broadway Signs.
From the little that I know of her, she has an art degree and began working for Hamilton Broadway as an apprentice in sign making… back when it was literal painting and hand done gold-​leafing. How cool is that! I’ve always thought it would be fun to be a sign maker. When the original owner retired, she bought the business and has been running it independently for years. Not only has she the ability and know how of the old school stylings of the signmaker’s trade and craft, but is adept and skilled in the digital graphic design as well. So have no fear, she keeps her business on its toes and up to date.
Leslie offers a quality product at reasonable rates, accompanied by a personal skill level and service one could never get from corporate. She does all the exhbition signage at CCA© too. that’s rad!
How lucky are we that we have these businesses in Oakland!
