YOUR IMAGE IS OUR BUSINESS

Born and raised in Waterford, CT, Critical Signs has been crafting custom signage, vehicle wraps, trophies, and graphics for southeastern Connecticut businesses since 1999. We handle every detail — from design through installation.

• EXPERIENCED SINCE 1999+

  Over 25 years serving Connecticut businesses — from race cars to full commercial fleets, storefronts to stadium signage. Our 4,500 sq ft fabrication shop on Route 85 in Waterford handles every project in-house, from first render to final bolt.

• QUALITY MATERIALS & CRAFTSMANSHIP+

  We use only industry-grade vinyl, UV-resistant overlaminate, and commercial substrates — from 3M and Avery Dennison films to aluminum composite panels and routed HDU foam. Every product is engineered to perform outdoors for years without fading, peeling, or cracking.

• FREE SITE SURVEYS — WE COME TO YOU+

  Unlike most sign shops that charge for consultations, our team will come to your location, assess your space, measure exact dimensions, and evaluate mounting conditions — all at no cost. You get a precise quote without any guesswork or surprise fees.

• FULL PERMIT EXPEDITING SERVICE+

  Sign permits can be complicated, slow, and frustrating. We've navigated hundreds of local and state applications across Connecticut. We prepare all required drawings, submit to the municipality, field inspector questions, and follow through to approval — so you never have to step foot in a town hall.
