The Sign Company Sandusky Has Trusted Since 1969
Brady Signs started here. In 1969, Herb Brady bought a small neon shop on the Sandusky waterfront, and three generations later we still run the company from Hancock Street. Every market we serve across Northern Ohio, Southeast Michigan, and Indiana was built out from this one. That means Sandusky businesses get crews who know the city’s permit process by memory, and a sign company that has to live with its work.

Signage for a City That Runs on Being Seen
Sandusky businesses face something most markets don’t: a season. Between the waterfront, the downtown corridor, and the traffic Cedar Point pulls through every summer, a sign has a narrow window to do its job, and it has to look right when the window opens. We plan projects around that calendar instead of against it. Retail, restaurants, hospitality, healthcare, schools, and municipal facilities all get the same approach — one point of contact, every phase handled, no scrambling in June.
Design
Channel letters, monuments, pylons, blade signs, and interior wayfinding, drawn to suit your building and the way people actually approach it.
Project Management
One point of contact owns the project from first conversation to final inspection, and you hear from them without having to ask.
Installation
Local crews, local equipment, and a short drive to your site — which shows up in scheduling flexibility you won't get from an out-of-town vendor.
LED Retrofit
Converting older illuminated signage to LED lowers what you spend to run it and how often you call anyone about it.
Permitting
City of Sandusky and Erie County sign ordinances, waterfront and downtown district requirements, and the applications that go with them.
Service/Maintenance
Our service crews are based here, so Sandusky calls don’t wait behind a travel schedule. We maintain what we install and plenty we didn't.

Equalis Group Purchasing for Erie County Schools and Agencies
Brady Signs holds Equalis Group cooperative purchasing Contract #COG-2162A, something few design-build sign companies in this industry can claim. Sandusky City Schools, Erie County departments, libraries, and other public institutions can buy signage and lighting through a contract that has already been competitively awarded, which removes the separate bid cycle and keeps the purchase fully compliant.
