Blackriver 01
We measure before we quote
A number given over the phone without a site visit is a guess. Guesses become change orders. We survey first, then price once.
About
Named for
a river
that moved.
Renton's Black River ran until the Lake Washington Ship Canal dropped the lake nine feet and the river simply stopped. We liked that: local, stubborn, and a little bit of history most people drive past without knowing.
How we work
One crew,
start to finish.
Most sign companies broker the job: one shop designs, another fabricates, a third installs, and the client chases all three. We own every step, which is why our dates hold.
02
We show it on your building
Every design comes back rendered on a photograph of your actual storefront or vehicle, at the actual size, from the street.
03
We own the permit
Sign codes differ block to block across this metro. We pull the permit, absorb the revisions, and file the closeout.
04
We come back
Five-year warranty on materials and workmanship, and we service what we build — and plenty that we did not.

What we will tell you
Straight answers,
including no.
When the design will not pass
We tell you before you fall in love with it, and come back with the largest sign your zoning and frontage actually allow.
When a partial wrap is enough
A partial often buys most of the roadside recognition of a full wrap. On a fleet, the difference is usually another vehicle or two on the road.
When you do not need a new sign
Plenty of tired cabinets need a new face and an LED retrofit, not a replacement. We will quote the cheaper fix first.
