Back where it all started.

Blue Lake

Ted’s Signs started back in 1984 in Blue Lake, CA in this apartment building while he worked full time as a auto body tech and auto painter. Ted’s Signs would grow based only on the quality of his hand painted signs and word of mouth. Each and every sign was hand drawn and hand painted. The precision and expertise Ted displayed allowed him to build the business over the years to a point where he was able to make sign making his full time business. After the sign business continued to grow, it expanded its services bit by bit and soon became the go to sign shop in Humboldt County.
