Neon sign services, bent by hand and built to last
Custom neon signs, neon sign repair, storefront window signs and wholesale glass for Colorado sign companies. One working neon shop, more than 30 years at the bench, quality work at reasonable rates and a one-year guarantee on all of it.
Four ways we put light to work
About half of what comes through our door is repair work and half is one-of-a-kind custom builds. Either way, every tube is bent, processed and lit by hand in our Colorado Springs workshop.
Which neon service do you need?
Find the line that sounds like you. If your project sits somewhere in between, call the shop and we'll sort it out together.
"I have an idea, a logo or a phrase"
Choose custom neon signs. We turn your artwork or wording into a full-size pattern and bend a sign that is yours alone, for a bar, a restaurant, a tattoo studio, a game room or a private collection.
"My sign flickers, buzzes or went dark"
Choose neon sign repair. Cracked tubes, dim sections and tired vintage signs can often be brought back. Bring it to the shop or send photos and we'll tell you what it needs.
"I want people to notice my storefront"
Choose custom window signs. Open signs, menu items and brand marks sized for your glass, so your shop reads clearly from the sidewalk and the street, day or night.
"I run a sign company and need glass"
Choose wholesale neon glass. We supply Colorado sign companies with processed tubes for new projects and replacement units for repairs on signs already in the field.
Why real glass neon still matters
LED took most of the channel-letter market in the 2000s, and it has its place. But LED "neon" is a plastic strip imitating a look. Real neon is the original: a glass tube filled with gas that glows the full way around.
- A soft, 360-degree glow. Light comes off every side of the tube, which gives neon its depth and warmth.
- Color from the gas itself. Neon burns a warm red-orange; argon in coated or colored glass gives blues, greens, pinks and whites.
- Repairable, not disposable. A broken tube can be re-bent or re-pumped, which is why vintage signs keep coming back to life.
- Made by a person. Every letter is bent by hand over a flame, so no two signs are exactly alike.
Weighing neon against LED for your space and budget? We're happy to talk it through honestly.

New sign or repair, the craft is the same: hand, flame, vacuum and gas. Here's what happens between your call and the first glow.
- Step 01
Design
We turn your sketch, logo or wording into a full-size pattern, or map out exactly which tubes on your existing sign need work.
- Step 02
Bend
Glass tubing is heated over the flame and bent by hand to match the pattern, curve by curve and letter by letter.
- Step 03
Bombard
Electrodes go on, then the tube is heated in a bombarder to drive out impurities so the glow stays clean.
- Step 04
Pump & Fill
Each tube is pumped down to a vacuum and backfilled with neon for warm reds or argon for blues, greens and whites.
- Step 05
Light Up
The finished work is lit and tested, then handed over with our one-year guarantee on all work.
Tell us what you want to light up
Send your wording, artwork or a few photos of the sign that needs help. We'll talk it through and give you an honest price.
