  1. Mr. Eugene;

     

    If the sign face you are refering to, is a Sprint/Nextell sign group ~ then your point of contact for a replacement, would be Chandler Signs, whose fabrication shop/Headquarters, is in Dallas, Tx.

    Chandler, did the nationwide Sprint/Nextell changer over back in 2006 - 2007.

     

    Very Respectfully,

  2. I have found many useful answers, & help for different sign projects here on this site. Whereas, I may not post everyday, I do post when I see something that peaks my interest. I find this site most informative & worthwhile. I wish it was around 14 years ago when I was first starting out in this business. I thank my lucky stars each time I log on to the site & post a question, which is then answered by many different sign people. The person from N Glantz who made that comment, should be given the cold shoulder for insulting the people who provide him w/ a paycheck - namely US!. Very Respectfully, J. Gary Bodnar

  4. I have joined the ranks of the unemployed, like so many others of us in the Sign Business

  5. Philip; Thanks for the info, I contacted Interstate Signs, & we dealt w/ Blake Yoder, a pretty stand up guy in my opinion - Interstate, has a pretty sweet deal, where if they fab your DOT signs, & you tell them what order you will be installing the signs, they have a really neat trailer that has your signs already loaded & in the order you specify, they bring you the trailer, you hook the trailer up to your truck & go to the first stop & remove old sig, pull new sign off of trailer & install, then proceede to next stop. No crating to remove & dispose of. You are allowed two weeks use of trailer for no charge, after that, they charge a fee. Like I said, the trailer pretty ingenious, reminds me of when we use to load stuff on board ships - stuff you need first is loaded last - stuff w/ least importance loaded first. I had one sign company from the list here submit a bid, plus Interstate, I sent a request to Zumar, (quite a few requests) but recieved nothing back from them, & we had a few locals submit bids also. I think we are done looking for quotes, as I found out we have submitted our bid, but I do not know if the Salesman is still looking for any other quotes. When I see the Salesman in charge of this project today, I will ask him, & post it to the board. I greatly thank everyone for there support & help. Hopefully we will be awarded this project from the City of Austin, but who knows, as there was a tremendous amount of paperwork & other hoops that we had to jump thru & hurdle over. Only the good Lord knows, if we will be awarded the project. Thanks Everyone. Very Respectfully, J. Gary Bodnar Senior Designer Lewis Sign Buda, Texas 512-312-4555 gary@lewissign.com
  6. Geraldi; They are quite large, 9' x 20' & larger. I called a few places, that I was familiar with, & am still looking. I will know more today after the pre-bid meeting. Very Respectfully, J. Gary Bodnar
  7. Hello all; Looking for someone who can fabricate & ship overhead freeway - DOT signage. This is the kind you see on the freeway & interstates & you take your vacations & company trips. These signs use 3M engineer grade diamond reflective vinyl & EC film overlays. There are anywhere from 30 to 60 of these to fabricate & ship. Please e-mail me directly at gary@lewissign.com Very Respectfully, J. Gary Bodnar Graphics Dept. Manager Lewis Sign Buda, Tx. 512-312-4555
  8. Looking fwd to Christmas

  9. Hey Glenda; How are you doing; I am the Graphics Dept Manger for Lewis Sign, here in Buda, Texas now. We would love to be able to assist Flouresco in any way with any work here in Texas. You can e-mail me at gary@lewissign.com Very good Blog by the way. Very Respectfully, J. Gary Bodnar
  10. To All; I have been in this business for over 12 years, I started out laying vinyl @ a FastSigns in Glendale, Az & worked my way up thru the ranks to a designer & now a Dept. Head/Lead Designer w/ Lewis Sign here in Buda, Tx. Over the years I have experianced many different attitudes at the various sign shops that I have worked for. Some shops (alas very few of them) actually care about there people, but most of them do not. The majority of the ones I have worked for over the years have the policy of use them up, wear them out & toss them aside & hire some fresh ones. Some shops, hire really good people, promise them the moon, then when a project ends they let them go (without telling the employee that they were only hired for their expertise on this project & that since the project is over the company has no need of their services any more.) The company I am with now, has the best attitude & appreciation for their employees. I see it everyday, evryone is quite happy & excited about coming to work, Everyone looks out for everyone, & we have no "prima donnas" here. Everyone from the owner down to the newest guy will pitch in & help anyway they can to get a project done. I have seen the owner doing everything from laying vinyl, to welding up framework on a large sign. To me, that speaks volumes about the owner & the company, as the owner does not think he is to good to help out the guys in the shop. Their are not to many owners like that anymore, & if you can find a company to work for who's owner is like that, then you are lucky, & should plan on staying with that company till retirement. Very Respectfully, J. Gary Bodnar
