WHO WE ARE

More Than a Sign Company

Thomas Sign & Awning is a full-service commercial sign manufacturer headquartered in Clearwater, Florida. From concept to completion, our team manages every phase of the signage process, including design, engineering, permitting, fabrication, project management, delivery, and installation. Our centralized operation helps ensure consistency, quality, and speed across every project.

Since 1969, we have helped businesses turn their brands into visible, durable signage that performs in real-world environments. Our work ranges from individual storefront signs and architectural signage systems to coordinated multi-location programs involving hundreds of sites. Whether a customer is opening one location, refreshing an existing property, or implementing a nationwide rebranding initiative, our team provides the planning and production resources needed to move the project forward.

As a woman-owned commercial sign company, Thomas Sign & Awning combines decades of industry knowledge with a commitment to responsive service, dependable communication, and long-term customer relationships. Our goal is not simply to manufacture signs. We help clients manage the details that affect successful implementation, including local sign codes, landlord criteria, engineering requirements, fabrication schedules, installation logistics, and brand standards.

Because design, engineering, permitting, manufacturing, and project coordination are managed through one organization, clients gain a more streamlined process with fewer handoffs between vendors. This integrated approach helps reduce delays, maintain brand consistency, and create greater accountability from the first survey through final installation.

Where Quality is Built

Our 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility houses advanced fabrication equipment, welding stations, paint booths, graphics production capabilities, assembly areas, and experienced production teams dedicated to delivering durable, brand-consistent signage solutions.

Keeping manufacturing under one roof gives our team greater control over materials, workmanship, scheduling, and quality assurance. Project managers, engineers, fabricators, painters, graphics specialists, and production supervisors can communicate directly throughout the manufacturing process. This coordination is especially important for complex architectural signage and multi-location programs where consistency must be maintained across multiple sign types and locations.

Our production capabilities support a wide variety of commercial signs, including channel letters, monument signs, pylon signs, wall signs, blade signs, high-rise building signs, electronic message centers, architectural signage, wayfinding systems, awnings, canopies, lobby signs, window graphics, wall graphics, vehicle wraps, and promotional graphics.

Each sign is built for its intended environment. Material selection, structural requirements, illumination, finishes, mounting conditions, local codes, and long-term maintenance needs are considered before production begins. Depending on the project, our team works with aluminum, steel, acrylic, polycarbonate, flexible faces, routed materials, dimensional components, architectural finishes, vinyl graphics, and energy-efficient LED illumination.

Our in-house manufacturing capacity allows Thomas Sign & Awning to produce more than 10,000 signs annually while maintaining the flexibility to support both custom one-location projects and larger national signage programs.

A Woman-Owned Sign Company With a Long-Term Perspective

Thomas Sign & Awning is proud to be a woman-owned commercial sign company with a history dating back to 1969. Our longevity reflects the relationships we have built with customers, employees, suppliers, contractors, installation partners, and communities.

Although signage technology, materials, and branding needs continue to evolve, our approach remains grounded in accountability and craftsmanship. We believe customers should know who is managing their project, where their signs are being manufactured, and how each phase will be coordinated.

That long-term perspective shapes the way we approach every assignment. We work to understand the immediate project while also considering future locations, maintenance requirements, brand changes, and the value of maintaining repeatable signage standards over time.
