Our expert design team works with you to create a sign or awning that maximizes its advertising and aesthetic values, one that gets noticed and is memorable.
And you don’t simply have to take our word on this: Sign & Digital Graphics magazine (a leading signage industry publication) twice recognized Metro Sign & Awning’s design excellence in their 2011 Sign Design Contest.
To create your business sign or canopy design, we build on your company goals and brand, neighboring signage and the specifics of type, size, color, lighting, mounting, and location – all while staying within your budget.
Business sign permitting is often a complicated process, and regulations and restrictions for signage vary by town and municipality. Metro Sign & Awning expertly navigates local sign codes and regulations, working with you to ensure that your sign meets all requirements.
Designing and building a sign takes lots of collaborative effort, but we’re confident we can design a sign that will fit all of your needs.

“The guys just left. They did a phenomenal job, and the product looks amazing in the space. Your crew really knocked it out of the park. There were no disruptions to business at all, and they were super nice and professional. I wanted to pass along the praise, because they deserve it, as does your shop.”
“Thanks again to you and your team for the outstanding job with our wall graphics and illuminated sign. The end result is amazing and exceeded our expectations. The feedback so far has been nothing short of stellar. The work you and your team did was of the highest quality, met our extremely tight deadline, and we were met with courteousness and professionalism at every step of the process. Well done, we couldn’t be happier. Needless to say we’ve found our sign vendor.”
“The awning looks absolutely amazing. Your crew did a fantastic job – I can’t believe how good it looks.”
“Everyone I’ve had the pleasure of working with at Metro has been excellent and I’d welcome the opportunity to work with you again. The whole process, from submittal to install, was very fluid. There was an open communication between Metro, FMA and Skanska which, I believe, was a large contributor to the overall success of the project.”
“I’ve worked with several sign companies and this company has exceeded my expectations. They always come through for all of our property management needs. I highly recommend them.”
“Thank you for your expertise and professionalism in assisting JBrice Design with signage aspect in rebranding these two residential buildings. Your consultation services in combination to design, production, installation is a great asset and we value your partnership!”
“Just wanted to let you know everyone here loves the new sign. Thanks again!”
“The owners are blown away by the lit blade sign, it looks absolutely awesome!
Strong, strong work by Metro, I know it’s nice to hear your work is appreciated and it sure is on this end.”

Development Manager at the Peregrine Group
“The build-out and grand opening of our new flagship Gymboree Play & Music center in Arlington was on an incredibly tight time-line. Metro Sign was with us every step of the way, and ultimately was able to meet our expedited time table. Our signage and awnings were in place and installed in time for our grand opening event!
I just can’t say enough about both the high quality of workmanship and the first-rate customer service we received. When it comes time to open our next location sometime next year, I plan on having Metro Sign right there with me!”
Problem
The iconic, mid-1950s letters on the roof of the bank’s HQ in Cambridge MA continually caused grief. The neon would frequently go dark (not the right impression for a client marketing its competence!) and each repair cost $400 or more.
Solution
Metro Sign & Awning replaced the leaky faces and swapped the neon for vastly more energy efficient LED’s. Now the client’s sign is brighter, more noticeable and saves energy, CO2 and money!
Northeastern University, a private, coeducational research university in Boston, needed wayfinding signage to improve the campus visitor experience. They called on Metro because of our experience and fabrication expertise. Before and after the signs were in place, however, they had a few things to say about our customer service, as well.
First off, I can’t thank you enough for all the time and effort you and your team have put into this! I really appreciate it ,,, your responsiveness and details were extremely helpful.
The signs look fantastic! The installers were delightful to work with even in the pouring rain! Thank you so much for all of your efforts- I’m so excited to see it all complete.
The signs that your guys installed yesterday look great. Already today I’ve received at least a dozen compliments on the new signs. Thanks again for working so quickly on this job… Also, new awning looks amazing. The design is greatand the fit is perfect. Thanks again for your great work.
“Just wanted to let you know that the President and Senior Leadership had their retreat over this past weekend and so far we’ve heard a lot of great feedback about the signs and new branding! I’ve been told the signs were beautiful especially the ones with the carved trees, they said the dimension was impressive. I can’t wait to get over there myself to eventually see them!
Thanks again so much for all your help with that project, hope to work with you again soon!”
Hi Tom,
Love the new signs! Thank you! … You did a great job and your team was very professional and friendly. Very much appreciated.
The United Way sign looks terrific! Sharon says, “It pops!” The placement is perfect; no one can miss our logo.
It’s wonderful to have Metro Sign and Awning as a great vendor-partner, and we look forward to working with you again. Thanks for your patience and everyone’s hard work on our behalf.
Our new signage is really great work, very solid, we are all happy with it. Thank you for helping us deal with all the issues that came along with this process.
We appreciate Metro’s partnership in support of Meritage and Rowes Wharf Sea Grille’s signage at the Boston Harbor Hotel. As you’re able to see in the before/after photos, our space has gone from ordinary to extraordinary with the use of eye-catching branding in the form of signage! The Meritage Canopy and Marquee sign truly brands the corner and acts as a marketing tool, attracting customers into the bar. Not only is the sign elegant, but effective.
Our Rowes Wharf Sea Grill Projecting Sign brings forth a classic presence, attracting attention from the daily crowds of pedestrian and auto traffic. Adding painted fabric banners and additional branding facing the Harbor ties it all together and identifies our 5-star estabishments at our rear entrances, attracting harbor tours/traffic to enjoy our indoor/outdoor seating.
Thank you for working with Sousa Design and The Boston Harbor Hotel team to perfect color preferences, materials, and bring forth an excellent result of elegant signage and increased business!
“The install went great, and I’m very happy with the look. Thanks for your help and coordination. It’s a huge addition to the overall look and feel of the space.”
“Can I tell you how fabulous the sign is?
Everyone is raving about it. Thank you so much for the great work, and your installers are great people too. Can’t wait to see the other sign in September.”
“The awning looks great! And our sales have at least tripled since the install.”
“The container blade signs turned out great. We’re now considering one for our restaurant, and would like to use the same sign company.”
“You all have my deepest thanks and appreciation for creating such a perfect manifestation of what was, and is to me, the realization of a quirky dream.It’ s Beautiful! More than even that, however, has been the experience of working through the several challenges of its creation with all of you as members of a team. It’s been great fun and I thank everyone at Metro for making it happen!”
“All of us at Cafco would like to express our sincere thanks to you and your team for your efforts on the Radisson Hotel project. Every successful project can be attributed to a collaboration of individual efforts. We acknowledge that it was the hard work and dedication of each individual, under aggressive time constraints, that enabled Cafco to realize our commitment. Thank you again and we look forward to future opportunities.”

“Team, I wanted to take a minute to let you all know how much I appreciate the hard work out here at Logan Express. We were given a very tough date from the owner to hit and it is not very often that the contractor’s on site share the same sense of urgency. It says a lot when the entire crew is willing to step up and stay late at a moment’s notice. Thank you very much for the hard work and all of your help. Please pass this on to the guys in the field as well.”
“I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your recent work at the Suffolk University 20 Somerset Project. It was a pleasure to work with you and your team from start to finish. We appreciate your help working with us and the design team throughout the process. I know it wasn’t easy getting the interior sign schedule finalized, and we appreciate your guidance and professionalism in getting this finalized as we needed to support the project schedule. The quality of work from Metro Sign and Awning was great. The HDPL mural, in particular, is awesome – we’ve received many compliments from the Owner, Designers, and outside people that have toured the building. We look forward to working with you and Metro Sign on future projects… thanks again and keep up the good work!”
