Props to the 5 Man Electrical band for their song and I don't know if others have experienced this but why is it so hard to find good sign companies? As Realtors, the posts we order to be installed in the yards come with a price tag. Not only do we pay to have them installed and removed, we are also subject to them not showing up, them falling down, put in the wrong place, put on the wrong house and when they do arrive, sometimes they are banged up and bent. Why isn't there a company out there that can do the job and do it well. In my 5 years in Real Estate, I personally have been through 4 sign companies. Oh, we make excuses saying that there aren't any good ones out there and people ask, "would you want to dig holes all day?" But the reality is that this field, much like any other business is sorely in need of professionals. With the number of Realtors in our town alone, a quality company would clean up and take all of the business from everyone.
While we are speaking of signs, our experience has been that almost every sign company we have dealt with has come with some anguish. The outside signs on the building were an issue to put in place. The signs inside of our office, from a local sign company, were an issue and even those cute little cardboard bandit signs, simple enough, were not done correctly. Where Have all the good sign people gone?
