California Signs

I moved my business to another location and I needed a sign for it. I started checking prices around when there was this woman, she showed up in my shop giving 15%coupons on the first job from California Signs. Because of the coupon I decided to work with carlos. I had an appointment with him to talk about the sign and to put a deposit towards the job. He told me that because of the design I wanted he was going to waste a lot of material and was to be kind of pricey but he promised it was going to be cut with a digital cutter with a very professional look. I was amazed how he was working the program on the computer and I congratulate him for that and his response was… You have to be very smart in order to learn how to do this. (I should’ve taken this as a warning about his rudeness). The day he installed the sign I told him I didn’t like how an «E» looked like and he said I was looking only at the mistakes… What Mr. A job like this can not have any mistakes. He was so reluctant on fixing it but after arguing he went to his shop, coming back with the proper «E». Taking a very close look to the final product I found out that it had been cut with scissors and not with the digital cutter he promised and the worst thing the sign is about 2 feet away from my working area, so I get to see this cheap sign every single day. I wanted to deduct the 15% from the total amount and he said that the coupon had expired, when there was not an expiration date on the coupon. I called him several times, he never returned my calls. I went to his shop to talk about my umconformity, the door was open but no one was around.
It was a complete chaos doing business with this man. I wouldn’t recommend this business to anybody.
Several years later he came back trying to do more business with me and I literally kicked him out of my shop but I made sure to let him know how rude and unprofessional he was.
carlos, you are nothing but a douche bag.
Have a nice one.

Had a great experience. Carlos was able to match our existing sign style perfectly. His work was prompt and clean. We are very satisfied.

I had 3 cars wrapped by Carlos and everything was great the same price all 3 times, I went in to get a 4^th car wrapped and talked to Carlos Jr, and he called his dad and Carlos Jr told him that the car was smaller than the others and his dad said the cost of materials went up and it would be $ 100 more. I agreed and gave them a deposit for half the job. The next day I get a call from Carlos Sr. and he said he would need $ 1000 more to do the job… something is wrong here, how could you pull this on a loyal customer? They already used cheaper material on my last car, it is peeling and its not even a year old, I never even said anything to them about it. He tells me that wrapping is getting more popular and he cant do it for the price we had already agreed on! REALLY!!! That is a terrible way to do business. I am a small business owner as well and I would never do this to a customer, good or bad! I will find someone else, they are not the only game in town. BAD BAD WAY TO DO BUSINESS!

I worked with Carlos to have a new box awning and a new giant sign put up at my business. It was such a great experience.
Carlos is so knowledgeable, experienced, and does everything he said he would do. It was faster than I expected too! We paid half down and half after the project was complete.
It was wonderful that Carlos also have us startlingly accurate digital renderings before we officially approved the design. There were no surprises– no increase in job costs, no delays. It was a fabulous experience and we will be coming back again for any other sign needs we have!

Brought my Red 2012 Toyota Tacoma in and these guys did a wonderful job, carlos which was the guy I meet on day one walked me through the steps, helped and guided me on my trucks wonderful advertising upgrade.
Thanks cal signs,
Great job.

I went here after reading their Unilocal reviews thinking that they might be EXACTLY the company that could help me!
I’m a print broker and have a really good customer that needs a sign and i needed several options to bring back to my them. I met with a man who never introduced himself to me (but i walked away with a card that says Carlos). He seemed not really too interested in helping but threw out an idea and gave me a sample of a material that seemed promising so I said yes, i would like a real quote to present to my customer. I gave him my business card and i was told that his son would email it to me later in the afternoon.
TWO WEEKS LATER I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE QUOTE.
If i could give NO stars that is what I would give.

Had a project at the Oakland airport and needed to have company name and logo on all of our trucks. Found this place across the street, so I called them up and said I needed magnets fast, as our project started the next day. They said it would be quicker to come in and approve the design. I went in with a copy of my company logo on a jump drive. They designed the magnets right in front of me and I approved them before I left. The magnets were available the next morning and looked great. They have a nice printer as the graphics were very crisp. I did lose one magnet off the truck. Pry my fault I was driving 60 on the highway and found out later that the door of my truck has a lot of bondo in it.
Overall these guys were fast and professional!

Great service! Good work! Good people!
You get much more then signage here, they take care of you from start to finish. Carlos is a good business man. The pricing is higher but it’s b/​c you get the service plus the product. Both are very good!
