Our Story

35 Years. One Mission.
Signs That Work.

Corporate Graphics was founded in Walnut Creek in 1989 with a straightforward mission: deliver commercial electric signage that performs as a long-term business investment — not just a cosmetic upgrade.

Over more than three decades, we have built deep relationships with Bay Area building owners, property managers, retail tenants, and retail chains across all nine counties. Our clients trust us because we understand the commercial real estate landscape and the permitting environment that makes Bay Area signage uniquely complex.

Pat, our founder, brings 40 years of hands-on experience in electric sign sales and installation. That depth of knowledge means our clients get honest advice, accurate bids, and projects that are completed on time — without surprises.

We are proud to hold a C-45 Electric Sign Contractor license (#687932) and maintain consistent annual sales of over $1 million in commercial signage across the Bay Area market.

How We Work

Our Five-Phase Project Process

Every Corporate Graphics project follows a proven five-phase process — from initial site survey through final inspection and sign-off. You're kept informed at every step.

1

Site Survey

We visit your location, assess structural conditions, document mounting requirements, and identify municipal sign codes that apply to your property.

2

Design & Engineering

Custom sign design renderings and structural engineering drawings prepared to your specifications and submitted for your approval before any fabrication begins.

3

Permit Filing

We prepare and submit all permit applications to the appropriate city or county agencies. Our 35-year relationships with Bay Area jurisdictions mean faster turnaround.

4

Fabrication

Your sign is built to specification using commercial-grade materials, UL-listed components, and LED illumination systems engineered for Bay Area coastal and urban conditions.

5

Installation & Inspection

Professional installation by our licensed crew, followed by municipal inspection sign-off and final walkthrough to ensure your complete satisfaction.
