About City Signs
Our Story
City Signs began with a simple vision and unwavering dedication to quality. In the fall of 1997, Greg Kyler opened the doors of City Signs in Modesto, California, starting what would become one of the Central Valley's most trusted sign companies. What began as a one-man operation with humble beginnings has grown into a thriving business built on the foundation of hard work, honesty, and exceptional craftsmanship.
From those early days, Greg quickly established a reputation that would define City Signs for decades to come. Customers recognized him as a hardworking, honest business owner who consistently delivered quality products and stood behind his work. This commitment to excellence became the cornerstone of our company culture, and even as we've grown significantly in size and scope, we remain steadfast in our dedication to providing superior products and unmatched customer service.
Today, City Signs employs some of the most highly qualified and dedicated sign makers in the Central Valley. Our team combines years of experience with cutting-edge technology and techniques to deliver signage solutions that exceed expectations. While we've expanded our capabilities and grown our workforce, we've never lost sight of the values that Greg established from day one. Every project we undertake, whether large or small, receives the same attention to detail and commitment to quality that built our reputation.
