 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently opened a new branch and needed the interior signage updated to reflect our current branding. Northshore Custom Signs & Graphics handled everything seamlessly; removing the old signs and installing a stunning acrylic lobby sign and engraved plaque that perfectly represent our brand. The team was professional, a pleasure to work with, and kept communication clear throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!

Bob was super responsive, had great questions, thought through the install before getting to the site, and was just an overall pleasure to work with. He also had great feedback on the signage we'd fabricated and shipped to him for the installation. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Bob at Northshore Custom Sign for a sign for our 1935 Water Treatment Plant and Bob came up with a great way to label our building in a new bold way. It came out great. Thanks Bob and Team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Northshore Custom signs are the way to go! When you're the general manager for a multi-tenant student residential business you have a million projects on your to-do list. With minimal guidance they took on our two separate sign projects and executed them quickly & professionally while delivering them fast and within budget.

Having the opportunity to work with the owner, Bob, directly was amazing. His communication and follow through making sure the signs were up to standard was above and beyond. I would highly recommend them!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Northshore has completed several projects for Bradku Inc Builders and Developers. As a General Contractor and commercial landlord, we appreciate the high quality of the signs and the flawless project management from start to finish. We emphasized to Northshore that we wanted the signs for all tenants in the same building to share a common, cohesive, professional look and feel, and they really delivered against that requirement. They also installed 2 beautifully crafted routed HDU signs in our own office space that really boost our brand.
Bob's professionalism and follow-through made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and the final results exceeded our expectations.
It is always a pleasure to work with companies that value your vision as much as you do.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were thrilled with our experiences and purchases.  Both a portable A frame and the attachable banners were top quality and supported by owner, Bob, personally.  He also provided and installed a custom metal sculpted sign for the exterior of our business with which we were extremely satisfied.  Again Bob provided custom assistance and advice and followed up frequently with delivery time updates.  Once the job was finished he made sure we were completely satisfied.  I could not recommend Northshore Custom Signs & Graphics more heartily!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Northshore Custom Signs fabricated and installed a large cut aluminum sign high up on the face of our building promoting my spa & salon. They helped me refine my logo artwork and lock in on the design options that would best support my business needs. The sign looks great! It definitely helps elevate my brand to the busy street traffic and the customers departing the restaurant across the street.

They were extremely professional to work with and the graphic looks incredible -- high quality vibrant vinyl and zero bubbles.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bob personalized my food trailer to perfection, from the start he was professional and knowledgeable about the entire process. The food trailer is hot pink and my logo didn’t pop with just the lettering so he suggested to add an underlay behind it. Genius! Such an amazing job. Thank you so much for such a smooth experience!
