The end result is simply stunning! The new blue, yellow and wihte tubes glow brightly, the paint is rich and deep once more, and the triple stroke neon letters were retained from the original sign, still pumping out their light every day just as they did 32 years ago.

We partnered with Kemco of Burlington to provide on-site service, working at height to remove the neon and transformers, clean and repaint the sign, and reinstall all new power supplies and tubing. We also worked with SPCLSIGNS to recreate the hand-lettered sections of the sign.

We started the ruby red neon and green-pumped-red orange tubes across the awning, turning down the face and in toward the entryway, and then continued them on the ceiling of the foyer, creating a near-seamless transition from outside to inside.

We had the owners leave it with us during the carnival quiet season (November - January) and we were able to give it a much needed servicing. All new tube supports, new housings where necessary, and all new green glass for "New York Style." We also cleaned up the clear acrylic cover.
