First Signs had its' beginning in 1995 with a different owner from Hollister who decided it was time for a sign
shop in town who could provide great customer service and quality signs to have the greatest impact as
advertising and branding for a business. My wife, son and I took over the sign shop in 2004 and have been
trying to uphold those same standards.

We have been able to expand the services we offer to try and provide more options for our clients, such as  
carved, painted wood signs, and hand lettered signs.

Our experience as Sign Painters had its' beginning on the East coast in a small town- Gilmanton, New
Hampshire. My father has had a similar family run business since 1978, named
Adel Signs.  I learned the
ropes at an early age, and have been interested in handcrafted signs ever since. I talk with him on a regular
basis and continue to draw from his over 30 years of experience. He has been an inspiration to me for
creating fine handcrafted signs.

We're confident that First Signs can help you from the beginning phases of creation of the design process to
the completed artwork and signs needed to give your business the look you desire- one that draws people to
you. After all, a sign is usually the first impression people will get of your business. Make it count!
