There's a reason neon has been lighting up storefronts and bar signs for over a century. The warm, distinctive glow of gas-filled glass tubes creates an atmosphere that LED alternatives still can't quite match.
Signs East designs and bends neon in-house. Glass tubes are heated, shaped by hand to your custom design, then filled with neon or argon gas and electrified. The result is a one-of-a-kind sign that draws eyes and creates the exact vibe you're after.
Whether you need a classic "Open" sign, a custom logo, or a vintage-style piece for your restaurant or bar - we can build it from scratch or repair the neon you already have.
Custom neon signs designed and built by Signs East.
Real neon requires skill and patience. Here's what goes into every sign we build.
Each tube is heated and shaped by hand over a ribbon burner. No two pieces are exactly alike - that's the character of real neon.
Neon gas glows red-orange. Argon with mercury vapor produces blue. Different phosphor coatings create additional colors.
We design and fabricate neon right here in Kingston - no outsourcing to overseas factories. Faster turnaround, better quality control.
Broken tube? Flickering transformer? We diagnose and fix neon signs fast - often saving you the cost of full replacement.
Neon isn't for every project - but when it fits, nothing else comes close.
Not sure if neon is right for your space? Get in touch - we'll help you figure out the best fit for your project and budget.
Real reviews from businesses we've worked with.
Tor was there for me when I needed him - timely, professional, and so great to work with. He made the whole process easy. The quality of his work speaks for itself.
Signs East has been my go-to for years now. Eye-catching designs that really make a statement. I won't use anyone else for my business signage.
Usually, yes. Common issues include broken tubes, bad transformers, and wiring problems - all repairable. If a tube is cracked or has lost its gas, we can re-bend a new section to match. Bring it in or send us photos and we'll give you an honest assessment. Learn more about our sign repair services.
It depends on size, complexity, and number of colors. Simple designs start around $300-500. Larger or more intricate pieces can run into the thousands. We provide free estimates - just share your design idea and we'll quote it.
Flickering usually means a transformer issue or a tube that's losing its gas charge. Buzzing often comes from the transformer or loose connections. Both are repairable. Don't ignore it - small problems can become bigger ones if left alone.
Simple designs can be done in a week or two. More complex pieces with multiple colors or intricate lettering take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront - and unlike most shops, we actually hit our deadlines.
Yes, with proper weatherproofing. Outdoor neon needs protective housing to shield the glass and electrical components from rain, snow, and temperature swings. We build outdoor-rated neon signs that hold up to New England conditions.
Real neon has a warmer, more authentic glow - ideal for bars, restaurants, and anywhere you want that classic aesthetic. LED neon is more affordable and energy-efficient, good for outdoor use or tighter budgets. We build both and can help you decide.
Whether it's a new custom piece or a repair on something you already have - we can help.
