Neon, LED & lighted sign repair

The four calls we answer most, and what we actually do about them.

Neon Sign Repair & Restoration

Neon Sign Repair & Restoration

Neon sign repair is half electrical craft, half preservation. Failed transformers, broken tubes, and dim sections are all fixable, and a full restoration can bring a decades-old script back to showroom glow. The Howies sign still pours warm neon over its block because someone chose restoration over demolition; we were happy to be the someone.

Where tubes are beyond saving or code has moved on, we convert to warm LED that keeps the look while ending the transformer drama. Either way you get a straight verdict on what your neon needs, not a reflexive pitch for a new sign.

LED Display & Message Center Repair

LED Display & Message Center Repair

Dead pixels, dark modules, scrambled content, and controllers that stopped answering the software: LED sign repair is mostly module and power-supply work, and we stock the common parts that get displays back up in one visit. We service displays we sold and displays we did not.

If your display maker has vanished, and many have, we can usually identify the hardware and source compatible parts, or retrofit new internals into your existing cabinet for far less than a new sign.

Lighted Sign & Cabinet Repair

Lighted Sign & Cabinet Repair

Half-lit letters, flickering cabinets, and signs that hum like an old refrigerator are all telling you the same thing: ballasts and lamps at end of life. We repair the immediate fault, and when the math favors it, convert the whole cabinet to LED so this is the last dark-sign call you make. Timing matters more than it used to: the Illinois fluorescent bulb ban ends the sale of linear fluorescent tubes in Illinois on January 1, 2027, so a relamp on an older cabinet is now a retrofit conversation.

Faces cracked by weather or baseball, water intrusion, and rusted retainers all get fixed in the same visit when possible. One truck roll, one invoice.

Storm Damage & Insurance Work

Storm Damage & Insurance Work

Wind-bent poles, hail-shattered faces, and lightning-fried electrical are insurance claims, and insurers want documentation you are too busy to produce. We photograph, assess, and write repair scopes adjusters accept, then execute the repair with the same crews that install new signs.

Emergency securing comes first: a dangling cabinet is a liability, not a scheduling item. Call, and we make it safe the same day where physically possible.

Good Questions

Sign Repair & Maintenance FAQ

Can my neon sign be repaired?
Usually, yes. Transformers, tubes, and wiring are all serviceable, and full restorations bring old neon back to original glow. Where tubes are unsalvageable we convert to warm LED that preserves the look.
How fast can you get to a dark sign?
Dark signs get priority scheduling, typically within days across Central Illinois. Unsafe signs, like storm-damaged cabinets, get same-day securing wherever physically possible.
Do you repair signs from other manufacturers?
Yes, all makes, including displays and cabinets from companies that no longer exist. We identify the hardware and source or substitute compatible parts.
Will you work with my insurance company?
Yes. We document damage with photos, write repair scopes adjusters accept, and execute the approved work.
What does a maintenance plan include?
Scheduled night inspections, proactive lamp and module replacement, priority emergency response, and one predictable annual price. It is the cheapest way to never make a dark-sign call again.
