Working with Dustin made life easierPosted on Scott AndersonJanuary 11, 2023 Did an outstanding job on my new restaurant.Posted on Duke TuftyDecember 22, 2022 To Whom It May Concern: I found working with Dustan Fankhauser on our sign project to be an excellent experience. Although it stretched out over a three year period (because of city zoning and pandemic) Dustan was there when needed and always came through with what we needed. I look forward to working with him on future projects and would heartily recommend him to others., Sincerely yours, Reverend Duke Tufty Unity Temple On The PlazaPosted on Steve TimperleyDecember 20, 2022 We used Excel Lighting & Sign to have a new sign added to our building on Ward Parkway, both inside and outside. They had fantastic service and the quality of the design and the final product was excellent!

A sign is supposed to do one job: make it obvious where you are and why you’re legit.
When the sign is faded, half-lit, or cluttered, customers hesitate. They miss the entrance. They second-guess the business. They bounce.
Our goal in Lincoln is simple: build and repair signs that pull people in, keep you looking open after dark, and make your place easy to spot.
If you’ve been searching for a sign company near me in Lincoln, this is your next step.
Clean, modern storefront and office signage that reads fast from the street. We design for visibility first, then match your brand so it feels like it belongs on the building.
If your building sits back from the road, a monument sign does the heavy lifting. Great for offices, churches, medical buildings, HOAs, and campuses that need a clear entry point.
Multi-tenant signage gets messy fast. We build and update pylon and directory signs so customers can find your suite without circling the lot.
Lobby logo signs, suite numbers, directional signage, ADA-style needs, and “go this way” pieces that keep visitors moving confidently.
A dark sign can make a business look closed. We handle common fixes like:
LED module replacements
Power supply and wiring repairs
Cabinet face replacements
Storm and impact damage repairs
Brightness upgrades for older signs
Tell us what you have, what you want to change, and where it sits. A couple phone photos helps us move faster.
We’ll show you how it’s going to look at real scale, with a layout that reads clean and doesn’t get lost at a distance.
We coordinate the practical parts so you’re not chasing vendors. When install day hits in Lincoln, we show up ready.
We work with businesses across Lincoln and around Lancaster County, including:
Downtown Lincoln And The Haymarket
University Area
Near South
Havelock
Belmont
South Lincoln
If you manage multiple locations, we can keep signage consistent across markets while still matching each site.

Want a sign that reads well from the street, looks professional up close, and stays bright after dark?
Call us, send a couple photos, and tell us what you need in Lincoln. We’ll point you to the best next step: upgrade, repairs, or a fresh new sign built for your building.
Design mockups, fabrication, install, and repair work, handled under one roof. That means fewer handoffs, fewer mixed messages, and a cleaner final result.
We’ve seen the weird stuff: old wiring, mismatched cabinets, landlord restrictions, shopping center rules, rushed installs that didn’t hold. You get a crew that spots problems early, so your Lincoln sign project doesn’t turn into a string of surprises.
You’ll know what’s happening next, what we need from you, and when work is scheduled. No radio silence, no mystery timelines, and no guessing.
We’ve handled everything from simple storefront updates to big, high-visibility pylon signs you can spot from the highway. Think McDonald’s-style visibility. Whatever scale your Lincoln location needs, we know how to plan it, build it, and install it safely.
How Long Does A Sign Project Take?
Repairs and lighting work can move quickly. New fabricated signage depends on design approval, fabrication time, and install scheduling. Most projects are done in 4-6 weeks.
The fastest projects start with clear photos and a simple goal.
How Far Do You Travel?
We’re based in Kansas City, and we work across the Midwest, including Lincoln. If you’re searching for sign installation near you and want one partner who can handle multiple locations, we’re built for that.
Do You Offer LED Conversions?
Yes. LED retrofits are one of the quickest ways to improve brightness, consistency, and reliability, especially if your sign is dim or patchy.
