Install This Sign & Awning Co. now has a storefront at 4835 Lyndale. Founded in 1999 by Gene LaForge and Paul Miller, Install This Sign & Awning has become one of the Twin Cities' premier sign and installation companies. Paul is a Northside boy - born and raised, and his whole family still lives on the Northside. They do in-house design and layout, and manufacture signs, banners and awnings. They also supply installation expertise to over 100 companies. They did the new Impact Mailing monument sign, are doing the Lind Bohanaon Garden sign and just rehabed the Camden theater sign. Long term employees, modern technology and a strong work ethic make Install This Sign the logical choice for your sign, sign repairs and sign installation needs. The shop is open Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Visit www.installthissign.com or call 612-588-8466.
