One year ago we set out on a mission to expand the shop. We hired local architect, Dan Lincoln who suggested that it would be good for us and good for the environment to save an old barn and preserve some of our local heritage before it lost to neglect. We found the perfect candidate at 190 North Maple Ave, the very property that houses the great old maple tree for which the street is named for. Many many many months later and after managing to get approval for the many variences and permits required to green light the project we are finally ready to proceed. Pictured below are the skilled workers of Old Valley Barnwood, who specialize in dismantling and reassembling old barns, coding each piece.
A Sign with Some Muscle!
We installed this sign at 2AM in the freezing cold before the big storm and just in time for NJ Institute of Technology's new Fitness Center grand opening. Its an original design we created for the facility with more very exciting and fun signs to come.

Here at Great American Sign we make a lot of signs to protect people, today we made a sign to protect a tree, a 200 year old tree outside of a housing complex on the campus of Drew University.
