From skyscrapers to supermarkets, coffee houses to convention centers – Western Sign & Awning has helped businesses large and small convey their message and stand out from the crowd through high quality, innovative signage and awnings. With more than 30 years of experience in designing, manufacturing and installing exterior and interior signs, we are a San Diego Sign Company dedicated to swiftly delivering high-quality products at competitive prices. We always use “value engineering” sign techniques and technology to ensure our customers get best-in-class results they’re proud to put their name on.

With two locations across San Diego, and a team 100+ strong, Western Sign & Awning is a proven leader in the full-service sign and awning industry. Our portfolio can be seen while moving throughout San Diego county, with landmark projects at Qualcomm Stadium, various Sharp Hospital and Scripps Hospital locations, on campus at UCSD, MCAS Miramar, Euclid Tower, Sapphire Tower, downtown’s NBC building, Mile of Cars, and the San Diego School District.

At Western Sign & Awning I design any number of different types of signage, from way finding, to ADA, to channel letters, window vinyl and exterior awnings.
