Founded by Wayne and Lynette Meece in 1991, the original home of Signs First Nashville was in a strip mall in Belle Meade. In 1996, the Meeces hired 16-year-old Tim Elizer for what was supposed to be a summer job. Tim quickly realized he had discovered an industry that allowed him to blend his fascination with technology with his love for art; and, he never left.
After years spent learning all facets of the sign business, Tim achieved his goal of becoming the owner of Signs First Nashville. Fast forward to the present; Tim now leads a team of highly experienced sign fabricators and installers, graphic designers, vehicle wrap designers and installers, and project managers.

I would highly recommend SignsFirst. They recently revamped our outdated sign at Walker Lumber & Supply and I must say the exceeded our expectations! They were responsive, professional, listened well and did what they said they would do in the time frame that they gave us for the project. Great job Tim and team!

Be weary of working here. You can be fired for being the last one to use equipment that is faulty and has pre-existing damage.
If you try to use industry best practices, you will not fit into their flawed system. They demand high quality but have poor work flow and procedures.
if one of the long term employees screws up, prepare to bare the brunt of the new owners wrath, if you are new.
Take all the time off you want ... But show up every day, don't make but one mistake or they will fire you without recourse, since Tennessee has no laws to protect workers from being fired for frivolous reasons

Such a great team of individuals who love what they do. The creative force and comradery are evident when you walk in the door or see the Signs First Nashville crew around the community. They continue to grow to new heights and raise the standards for high quality signage and vehicle wraps in Nashville and the surrounding area. Don't take just my word for it, ask around or experience for yourself!

Tim at Signs First is top notch. We used him for our business building sign and it looks great. We got several bids and his quote was competitive, the timeline was faster and the quality of work was spot on. I've referred someone to him shortly after and they had nothing but good things to say about him too. I'd refer to him again in the future. Thanks guys!
