10 years down...

[Moze]

I posted five years ago about my five-years-in-business anniversary. I'm not going to post every five years....but 10 is a big one, so yeah, I'm posting.

When I started the business in 2011, my intent was to provide surveys, transport, and installation services for other sign companies. I also sold non-illuminated signs to those in the sign industry and those not. The installation side of things got so busy that I've eliminated virtually every other service except installation. So 100% of what I do now is install for other sign companies.

At the time, other than Texas, I had installed in Oklahoma, Louisiana and Tennessee. Since then I've installed in Louisiana again as well as Colorado, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania.

National Installs:

Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex Installs:

Austin, Houston & San Antonio Installs:

I've been fortunate that Covid has had virtually zero effect on the installation side of things. If anything, it seems like businesses have used it as a chance to update and add signs. Other than normal month-to-month installs that usually involve a few hundred signs, multiple sets of dimensional letters, vinyl installs, etc., this year alone I've had a few larger projects. One involved the installation of approximately 35,000 square feet of vinyl. Another consisted of approximately 12,000 desk and room ID signs, another had 5,000±, another had 4,000± and I have another 4,500± to complete by the end of November. Busy, busy!

I hope everyone else's businesses are staying healthy, as well!

Congratulations on your milestone! Our 10 year anniversary was in 2020 - we were going to have a big party - but our state was shut down at the time.

Looks like you're the sign mogul of Dallas!

Way cool! Here's to 10 more years.

Thank you, sir.

Congrats to you, as well! Yeah, 2020 didn't work out too well for parties.

Looks like you're the sign mogul of Dallas!

I'd rather be the sign mogul of McCall.

Way cool! Here's to 10 more years.

Thank you!

Congrats Moze! Any plans for improvement over the next 10? Or just wait and see what Dewalt puts out next?


Same... well I mean it was our 100 year, but just the same THANKS COVID

Thanks! I'm always watching DeWalt, no matter what lol.

As far as improvements, things are going pretty well. I don't think there are any glaring ones that need to be made. I have excellent customers that pay well and on time. I have a few people that I use occasionally to help out on installs and they're all great.

Congrats Moze... I see lots of logos up here in Frisco/Prosper.

Did you personally do the ones up North in those other states or sub out?

Yeah, tons of growth up that way that keeps me buried.

I did all of the out of state ones but had helpers come on a couple of them (ie: when there are 6,000 signs in a single building).

Congrats! Very cool!

May I ask how you built the maps you have on your post? Those are nicely done, are you making it my hand in illustrator or something?

I make it in Google Maps. If you can't figure it out, let me know and I'll give a more detailed breakdown.

Congrates Moze. YESCO probably has an eye on you. Hope they blink.

ProSignTN hows that?

Well, they won't overlook a player of your caliber. Hopefully you will be able to work with them. If not for them pays well, too.

Congrats Moze! You found your Niche and made it work!

Congratulations. But coming from the UK the miles you must cover are phenomenal . And, I have to ask, who the hell has 12.000 desks? I don't think there's a company in the UK that big.

I don't do any electrical work, so our paths don't really align too often. I've done survey work for Wakefield, which is a YESCO company, but that's about it.

The desks were for a large bank and they were spread out between a few buildings. The largest was 53 stories and had around 7000.

Ah, I see. There may be some big banks in London, don't think 53 stories though. It's a place I never go, dirty filthy doghole of a place liked by Londoners only. Having said that, I've worked with a few and they were sound blokes so it's the city attitude, not the people.(and they were glad to get out of London). Banks around here are usually single or double story with maybe a couple of dozen staff at most. Some situated in beautiful Victorian buildings with Gothic arches over doors and windows, mostly listed buildings though so very limited to the signage they can erect.

Congrats, 10 years is a solid business anniversary to make. Let us know before you retire so we can sell off our DeWalt stock.
