Our Story
City Signs launched with a simple vision and a steadfast commitment to quality. In the fall of 1997, Greg Kyler opened City Signs in Modesto, California, setting the stage for what would become one of the Central Valley's most trusted sign companies. What began as a one-man operation with modest beginnings has flourished into a thriving business, grounded in hard work, honesty, and exceptional craftsmanship.
From the start, Greg quickly built a reputation that has defined City Signs for decades. Customers saw him as a diligent, honest business owner who consistently delivered high-quality products and stood by his work. This dedication to excellence became the cornerstone of our company culture. Even as we've expanded significantly in size and scope, we remain committed to delivering superior products and unmatched customer service.
Today, City Signs employs some of the most skilled and dedicated sign makers in the Central Valley. Our team blends years of experience with cutting-edge technology and techniques to provide signage solutions that go beyond expectations. While we've expanded our capabilities and grown our workforce, we haven't lost sight of the values Greg established from the beginning. Every project, regardless of size, receives the same attention to detail and commitment to quality that built our reputation.
