Sign Fabrication in Houston, TX
Jet Star Signs fabricates signs in-house at our Houston shop. After you approve the design, we cut, weld, paint and wire your sign from aluminum, acrylic, steel and LEDs, then inspect it before it leaves for installation.
Built in Our Houston Shop
We are a custom sign manufacturer in Houston. Because we build in our own shop, the team that designed and permitted your sign is the same team that builds it.
We build channel letters, cabinet signs, monument and pylon structures, dimensional logos and one-off pieces, for a single storefront or a full set of locations.

Materials and Why We Choose Them
- Aluminum for returns, cabinets and structures: light, strong and rust-resistant in Houston humidity.
- Acrylic and polycarbonate faces that spread LED light evenly across the letter or panel.
- Steel for poles and internal frames on monument and pylon signs that must stand up to storm-season wind.
- LED modules that use less power and last longer than neon or fluorescent tubes.
- Paint, powder coating and vinyl matched to your brand colors and chosen to resist UV fading.
- Mounting hardware matched to your wall type and the sign’s weight, so it stays secure.
Built for Houston Weather
Heat, humidity, heavy rain and hurricane-season wind are hard on signs. Exterior illuminated signs are sealed against water, and they are built so condensation can drain. Electrical parts are protected, and structures are sized for the location. Our illuminated signs are UL-listed. To see how long each sign type lasts and how to make it last longer, read our guide to how long commercial signs last.
Our Fabrication Process
Final Design
We start with precise design files, developed by you or in-house, that cover sizing, graphics, lighting and structural requirements.
Materials
Materials like aluminum, acrylic, steel and LEDs are chosen based on location, visibility and durability needs.
Precision Manufacturing
We use CNC routers, digital printers, paint booths and welders to fabricate your sign with precision and consistency.
Custom Assembly
Our team assembles the sign using welding, riveting and gluing, and integrates the electrical components for illumination.
Finishing Touches
Paint, powder coating, vinyl wraps and LED installation ensure a polished, professional appearance.
Quality Check
Every sign is inspected for accuracy and readiness before it leaves our facility.

Yes. Our illuminated signs are UL-listed.
Do you build your signs in-house?
