Today, we are offering our version of a public service announcement for owners of freestanding signs. 2025 seems to have an alarming number of signs damaged by vehicle accidents. Several of the signs I mention were hit so hard that the steel in the ground was not re-usable. We encourage you to visit with your insurance agency about coverage for your sign. These accidents frequently happen at night and there is not always a car owner around to get insurance information from. If you need value ranges for your discussions about coverage, just let us know!

A little rusty steel ready for it's new home in Johnstown. And there have been lots of changes in the sign industry in our 63 years, but building with something intentionally rusty is one we didn't see coming!

Our second project for Season 2 of Hometown Takeover has aired! We were involved in more steps of this project, the historic building that is home to the Queen Lounge. For those that might have a property with a vintage neon sign, projecting from the wall (as this one is), or freestanding as the Fort Morgan Bowling Alley sign is, we have a few suggestions. An entire rework of the sign to it's former glory is always possible, but with a few choices as the years pass, you will make the restoration a bit easier. First, keep the inside of the sign free of birds. There are access panels that sometimes disappear in the wind, and small corners where birds can gain entrance, and they will nest there for years. As time passes, the nesting materials and bird waste will build, holding moisture that encourages rust and adds weight. Second, do your best to keep it painted. Signs of this vintage are usually made of galvanized metal, which can be challenging to keep paint stuck to, but even touch up painting will help keep rust away. The Queen Lounge sign had beautiful art deco elements that were part of the shape and surface design, and by sheeting over with the panels for Queen Lounge, those details remain intact for any future restoration efforts, while still providing effective signage for the current owners and their business. Congratulations Fort Morgan and the Queen Lounge, it was great to be a part of the process!

HGTV's Home Town Takeover Season number 2 has started! This last Sunday was episode #2 for Fort Morgan, and we were part of the Main Street façade upgrades, helping out with new signs and vinyl. We did work with Ty Pennington, but none of that footage made it in. :( Here are some photos that we took, that tie in with the projects that were featured. Stay tuned, there should be one more episode this season featuring Biltrite Sign!

A big sign industry expo brought us to Las Vegas, and while we are here, we had to see the Boneyard! If this sort of thing interests you, it was great fun to see. Vegas history and sign history, all artfully arranged!
