A sign that is half lit, flickering or missing a letter costs you customers every evening it stays that way, and it tells the street that the business behind it is not paying attention. Most sign failures are small and fixable: a dead LED module or power supply, a failed transformer, water in a raceway, a cracked acrylic face, a letter knocked off by a delivery truck, or a photocell that no longer turns the sign on at dusk.
Global Signs & Graphics is a licensed California C-45 Electrical Sign Contractor (#1158732) based in Pacoima. We diagnose and repair signs we built and signs built by others, replace faces, letters and lighting, and can put your signage on a maintenance schedule so it stays lit and legible all year. If a sign is beyond economical repair we will tell you, and quote a replacement built in our own shop.
Sign repair in Los Angeles: LED sign repair, neon sign repair, lighting and ballast replacement, face replacement and scheduled sign maintenance.
Send us a photo of the sign and a short description of the problem, and we will tell you whether it is a quick repair, what it will likely cost and when our crew can be there. As a sign repair company in Los Angeles we handle LED retrofit signs, sign retrofitting and sign maintenance contracts for stores, restaurants and property managers.
LED & Lighting Repair
Dead or flickering channel letters, cabinet signs and LED signs: we replace LED modules, power supplies and transformers, repair wiring and raceways, and convert older neon or fluorescent signs to LED.
Damaged Letters & Faces
Cracked or faded acrylic faces, missing or broken letters, peeling vinyl and sun-damaged graphics replaced with new components matched to the original sign.
Monument, Pylon & Cabinet Sign Service
Face and tenant panel replacement, cabinet re-lamping, water damage and rust repair, and structural checks on freestanding signs after wind or vehicle damage.
Photocells, Timers & Electrical
Signs that stay on all day or never turn on usually have a failed photocell or timer. We replace controls, trace electrical faults and restore power to the sign under the proper electrical permit.
Re-Installation, Removal & Maintenance Plans
Re-mounting loose signs, moving signs to a new location, removing old signage and patching the wall, plus scheduled cleaning and inspection plans for multi-location businesses and property managers.
The rule is simple: if the structure and the cabinet are sound, repair is almost always the right call, and it is usually done in one visit. LED modules, power supplies, photocells, faces and individual letters are all replaceable parts. If the cabinet is rusted through, the wiring is unsafe, the sign no longer meets code or the business has rebranded, replacement makes more sense, and because we fabricate in our Pacoima shop we can quote both on the same visit.
Before any work we photograph the sign, test the power and identify the failed components, so you get a clear quote for exactly what is wrong rather than a vague service fee.
Signs in Los Angeles live in sun, heat and the occasional storm, and illuminated signs have electrical parts that wear out. A maintenance visit once or twice a year, with cleaning, a lighting check, sealing and tightening, prevents the failures that turn into emergency calls. For property managers and businesses with several locations we set up a schedule and keep records of every sign on the property.
Electrical sign work in the City of Los Angeles and surrounding cities must be done by a licensed sign contractor, and some repairs require a permit and inspection. We handle both, so the repair is done safely and legally.
Sign not working? Send us a photo and a description of the problem and we will come back with a repair quote and the earliest time our crew can be on site.
From our shop in Pacoima we service signs across the San Fernando Valley and Greater Los Angeles, including Hollywood, Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and West Hollywood. The same crew that installs our new signs does the repairs, with the bucket truck, lifts and parts on hand.
Send a photo of the sign and tell us what it is doing, or not doing. For many problems we can quote from the photo.
Our technician tests the power, opens the sign, identifies the failed components and confirms the quote before any work starts.
Most lighting, face and letter repairs are completed on the same visit. Custom faces or letters are made in our Pacoima shop and installed on a second visit.
We test the sign at dusk settings, seal and tighten everything, and offer a maintenance schedule so the problem does not come back.
Whether it is one dark letter on a storefront or a pylon sign that has not lit up in months, the fastest fix is a photo to us today. We will tell you what is wrong, what it costs and when we can be there.
Yes. We repair channel letters, cabinet signs, LED signs, monument and pylon signs and storefront signs regardless of who built them, as long as the sign is safe to service. We diagnose on site and match replacement parts to the original.
Usually a failed LED module, a power supply that has stopped feeding one section, or water in the raceway shorting a circuit. All three are common and repairable, and we test the whole sign so the next weak section does not fail a month later.
It depends on what failed and how high the sign is. Replacing a power supply or a few LED modules on a storefront sign is a small job; a new face on a large pylon cabinet is bigger. We quote after seeing a photo or the sign itself, and there is no charge for the quote.
For most repairs in the San Fernando Valley and Greater Los Angeles we can schedule within a few business days, sooner for safety issues such as a loose or hanging sign. Custom faces and letters take longer because they are made in our shop.
Yes. LED conversion cuts power use, removes fragile neon tubes and fluorescent ballasts, and usually brightens the sign. We retrofit channel letters and cabinet signs with LED modules and new power supplies and keep the original look.
Like-for-like part replacement usually does not, but electrical work, structural repairs and any change to the sign’s size or type may require a permit and inspection. As a licensed C-45 contractor we handle the permit when one is required.
Yes. We produce new acrylic and polycarbonate faces, printed and cut vinyl graphics and tenant panels for monument, pylon and cabinet signs in our Pacoima shop and install them with our own crew.
Yes. For businesses with multiple locations and for property managers we set up scheduled inspections, cleaning and lighting checks, and keep a record of every sign so repairs can be quoted from a phone call.
