Our Memorial Plaque was amazing and It came out just as we wanted it to!

This company is amazing! The bas relief is BEAUTIFUL! Their detailed work and attention to the customers needs is wonderful! Our memorial plaque for our father came out just as we wanted it to and we have received so many great compliments about it. Thank you for taking your time and caring enough to make sure that our father's memorial plaque came out just the way we wanted it. Thank you!

Great product, great service

I was looking for a company that could make a bronze memorial plaque to be used in a community garden in our town. Based in Impact's website, I felt that they were the kind of professional organization that I was looking for. I put together a technical spec sheet with all the required details and sent it off to the Impact rep assigned to my project. A cost estimate was provided very quickly. I exchanged a few emails with the rep regarding questions I had and they were quickly answered. I then paid a down-payment to start the design work. After I approved the design drawing and paid the balance of the cost, the part was made and shipped to my home. The plaque was exactly what I ordered and looked tremendous. The post for mounting the plaque was slightly different than what was described on the Impact invoice but it was much more robust and I am really glad that they sent this version. I am very pleased with the plaque and it has become a great addition to our Town's garden.

Beautiful brass memorial plaque...

First time having a brass memorial plaque made and I can't think that there could have been a better experience. Impact Signs communicated throughout the entire process, making certain that the sign was exactly the way I wanted it. They shipped it out ahead of the original estimated schedule and it arrived packaged nicely. In the future Impact Signs will be my go-to company for any signage. Thank you to the Impact Signs team!
