The Santa Clarita printing company Feathers offers a variety of illuminated signs for businesses, and can also update and restore older illuminated signs without requiring a full replacement.

There are two primary light sources available at Feathers: neon, which is the more traditional choice, and LED, a newer source that has grown in popularity due to its efficiency.
“The neon is a little more classic look, and then the LED is more efficient than neon. It’s energy efficient, cost efficient, less expensive on the electric bill and lasts longer,” said Vice President and Co-Owner David Hoyos. “But we still make both.”
In addition to a choice of light source, Feathers customers have a choice of which kind of illuminated sign they require, including storefront signs, monument (marquis) signs and pylon (pole) signs.
“Those are all the types of signs that we manufacture,” Hoyos said. “You can make those illuminated or not illuminated, so either way we can make those.”
Because Feathers staff are state-licensed contractors, they can also determine what permits are necessary through the city’s Planning and Building and Safety Departments, and obtain these permits for their customers.

“We’ve been doing signs for about nine years,” Hoyos said, “so we have really good experience with all the cities knowing how to pull permits, what is allowed by this city so we don’t waste clients’ time, which is very important when a client is opening their business.”
A few benefits of having an illuminated sign at a business include allowing potential customers to easily see the business at night– particularly when it gets dark early during the winter season — and helping to brand the company from the outside.
Even refurbishing an older sign can help boost the look of a business, whether it requires a lighting repair or a change from neon to LED.
“A lot of the companies do that nowadays,” Hoyos said. “They change the neon illuminator backlight to LED to be more efficient.”
Unlike some competitors, Feathers never sub-contracts out for different elements of the sign creation process, from pulling permits to design to installation.
“We manufacture our own signs, we do our own work, we pull our own permits,” Hoyos said, “so cost-wise, we’re very cost-effective to the client because we’re doing our own work.”
