Akers Signs is really our go to company when it comes to signage. Being in the real estate industry we have many properties that need signs and I would say that we probably use Akers on about 85% of all the signage needs that we have. And they're great. They're responsive. Their follow through is terrific.
Their design quality is above everyone else in the community in our opinion. And we really enjoy working with them. If a problem ever arises, it's not an issue. They always take care of it. So we would recommend Akers to anyone. I've known Rick Akers probably for the best part of 20 years. We've done several projects with Rick Akers Signs and we've found them to be people of integrity and excellence.

Services
Akers Signs was founded in 1972 by Dick and Sue Akers and quickly developed a reputation as being for quality sign making and highly personalized service. Dick Akers began hand-painting signs during his teen years, and mastered his trade as a member of the U.S. Army while stationed in Germany. The Akers family lived in their shop when their business opened.
Akers' experience with sign making is a primary reason we are an industry leader in Northeast Ohio and beyond-including Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Akron, Canton, Youngstown, Dayton, and many more locations throughout the country. Though we've been a reliable producer of quality signage since 1972, we realize our industry is not what it was 20 years ago-or even 2 years ago.
Highest quality signs-focusing on permanent exterior signage. Offering custom fabrication, channel letters and LED signs. We make the process of getting your new sign simple by handling details such as engineering, site plans, zoning and permitting. Beth Debord of DeHoff Development Co. - a real estate firm in North Canton, Ohio recommends Akers Signs.
Our congregation is very pleased with our new sign. It was a pleasure to work with you and your company from quotation to getting of the permit and the installation. The whole team at Akers really went above and beyond to make THE perfect signs for my new store location. I really didn't know where to begin (didn't even have a design besides our logo) and they listened to what my ideas were and made them into reality.
Today's businesses have increasing options to reach potential consumers, and it is more difficult than ever determining which alternative will be most effective. But, according to the United States Small Business Administration, place-based communication (a sign) is the "least expensive most effective form of advertising."

Michelle at Aker's sign's personally handled the customization & distribution of vinyl work for our fleet vehicles.
Her response was timely & her work, as well as design, exceeded any expectations we had.
Our company will continue to grow & thrive because of her diligence; we highly recommend working with this company above any others.

The design process and installation of a YESCO sign in 2009 went well. After that is a different story.
Late in February of 2020, the secondary power supply went out in our school's front sign. So, we called Akers Signs to service the sign that they sold and installed. Since then it has been "crickets," or unreturned voice messages. We have initiated every contact either weekly or every other week with Akers Signs to which we have received the following responses; "the part (which must be the most difficult part on planet earth to get) has been ordered," or "the part should be here in the next

I am a network / IT administrator at a small school in Kidron Ohio. We have had a sign through Akers Sign for a long time, since 2009. Near the end of February of 2020, the secondary power supply went out in our sign, so I called Akers to have them replace it. I have truly never worked with a business that cares so little about their customers. Every time I called, they pushed the blame to YESCO, which to be fair, they handle the shipping and manufacturing of the parts, but even still, I was always the one to call Akers. I never have received a call from them. Even if the blame is on YESCO, Akers

As a small business in Canton we were cautious and deliberate in our decision to put up a new sign. Knowing it was an important and potentially costly investment we wanted to "get it right". We are so glad we chose to work with Michelle from Akers Signs ! Michelle was prepared, thorough and transparent from our first meeting until the sign was completed. She worked hard to meet our specific needs and got the job done affordably. We couldn't be any happier with our new sign at Harmon's Pub ! Thanks Michelle !

The whole team at Akers really went above and beyond to make THE perfect signs for my new store location. I really didn't know where to begin (didn't even have a design besides our logo) and they listened to what I ideas were and made them into reality. The sign had to meet 100 pgs worth of requirements from the developer, and they worked through every detail with not only me, but the developers/landlords, and my contractors. All of this was out of my expertise and I placed complete trust in Akers with the project. I am THRILLED with how it turned out, and can't say enough good things about the

I went to Akers to get a sign after another company dropped the ball. They jumped to action, improved the artwork that I supplied them, and got the sign box relamped and new faces installed in time for my reopening. Rick and Molly were awesome to work with.
When you call a family owned business, you never know how serious they take their business. Akers is a top notch company that take pride in their work.
I'm more satisfied then I thought possible. You can see my sign from space.
Thanks akers.
