JPS Signs LLC

Today, JPS celebrates what this guy did for us as our first and most influential delivery driver at JPS Signs LLC.

Following COVID, with difficulty in relying on commercial options, Jim (no, not Jim Parks 😊) volunteered to make deliveries in the northeast to ensure on-time quality delivery to our valued customers. He was also a key contributor to my success over the past five years as an irreplaceable mentor, advisor, and dad.

Today is the five year anniversary of signing on the dotted line to take over the adventure of JPS Signs. It is also Jim’s heavenly birthday so we say to him, Happy Birthday Dad and thanks for everything you have meant to JPS!

We are hiring!!!

Super fun project we did for a customer recently. This custom HDU 3D sign was used for a backdrop for photos at a wedding reception at the Cleveland History Museum (home to the library in the photo). We love to be able to have fun with these unique projects!

Providing the highest quality carved and textured sign solutions to our customers continues with these recent projects!

Further investment in DELIVERING quality carved and textured dimensional signage to our customers came today in the shape of a new, more robust 16’ Carmate box trailer. We continue to strive for solutions in getting products into our customers’ (and in turn, their customers’) hands on time and in good shape by delivering ourselves to much of the northeast. If not within our delivery range, we still ship with our trusted freight carriers. We thank everyone for your continued trust and partnership!
