One Point of Contact for Maintenance & Repair
Managing sign repairs across multiple locations can become difficult when individual sites are coordinating contractors independently.
Thomas Sign centralizes the process by receiving and documenting service requests, coordinating the appropriate service technician, tracking work performed, and maintaining service records for each location.
This creates a more consistent service process while giving customers a central point of accountability for their signage program.

Preventive Sign Maintenance
Sign maintenance doesn’t have to begin with a failure.
Thomas Sign can coordinate scheduled preventive maintenance programs based on customer requirements. Maintenance visits can include inspections of sign condition, lighting-component replacement when needed, cleaning of sign faces, and documentation of observed issues.
For multi-location programs, scheduled maintenance can help identify developing problems before they become larger repair needs.
Maintenance Programs Can Include
Sign Condition Surveys
Document the condition of existing signage.
Lighting Inspection
Identify failed or deteriorating lighting components.
Component Replacement
Replace lighting components when required.
Sign Face Cleaning
Help maintain the appearance of exterior signage.
Scheduled Checkups
Programs can be structured around the customer’s maintenance requirements.
LED Retrofits & Energy-Efficient Signage
Older illuminated signage can often be updated with modern lighting technology rather than replacing the entire sign.
Thomas Sign can evaluate existing illuminated signage for LED retrofit and conversion opportunities. Depending on the sign type and existing conditions, updated lighting systems can help reduce energy use and maintenance requirements while preserving the established appearance and branding of the sign.
Our experience includes LED solutions for both new signage and retrofit applications, including conversions of older neon illumination systems.
LED Retrofit Applications
Existing Illuminated Signs
Evaluate existing signage for opportunities to upgrade lighting components.
Neon-to-LED Conversions
Convert applicable neon-illuminated signage to modern LED systems.
Channel Letter Retrofits
Update existing channel letters with energy-efficient LED illumination.
Lighting Component Upgrades
Replace aging illumination components with current lighting technology.
Signage Refresh Programs
Coordinate lighting upgrades as part of broader sign repair, refresh, or rebranding programs.
Service History & Program Visibility
For multi-location customers, individual repairs can reveal larger trends.
Thomas Sign documents service activity so customers can maintain a history of work performed at each location. Service information can include the reported problem, dispatch information, parts and labor details, completion status, and customer approval.
Service records can also help identify recurring component failures, warranty performance, costs, and other patterns across a signage program.
Repair or Replace?
Not every aging sign should automatically be repaired.
When a repair requires significant additional work or cost, Thomas Sign can document the issue and provide information for customer approval before proceeding. This allows customers to evaluate whether repairing the existing signage or replacing it is the better approach for the location.
Nationwide Maintenance & Repair Coordination
Thomas Sign combines centralized service management with a nationwide network of service resources, allowing multi-location customers to coordinate signage needs through one organization rather than managing individual service providers at every location.
Service partners can be selected based on location and service requirements, helping reduce unnecessary travel while maintaining centralized documentation and oversight.

Warranty Support
Thomas Sign maintains service and warranty information to help distinguish warranty-related work from ongoing maintenance needs.
During the warranty period, service can be coordinated through the team responsible for the original signage program. Following the warranty period, ongoing repair and maintenance can transition into the regular service process.
Signage Support Throughout the Lifecycle
A signage program does not end after installation. Thomas Sign supports signage throughout its service life with maintenance, repair, LED retrofits, brand refreshes, and replacement when needed.
By maintaining and updating existing signage when practical, businesses can extend the useful life of their signage while maintaining appearance, performance, and brand consistency.
