FAQs ABOUT Sign Repair

Why Do Lights Keep Flickering?

Flickering lights can suggest bad wiring, a dying bulb, or even water sneaking in during rainstorms. Sometimes it’s just a loose connection—a tiny detail that’s easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. We open the sign’s panel, test each component, and swap out anything that’s shorting. That way, you’re not scaring off potential customers with a shaky glow. Think about it: a steady beam of light says “We’re open and ready,” while flickering bulbs scream “Fix me now!”

Are Cracked Panels Really A Big Deal?

Yes. Cracks let moisture creep inside, short-circuiting your lighting system. Plus, those splits can spread over time, turning a small blemish into a massive eyesore. If your acrylic or polycarbonate face shows even a hairline fracture, we suggest scheduling a fix. We’ll measure the damage, create a matching replacement panel, and pop it in before the crack spreads. The sooner you address it, the less chance of an expensive overhaul down the road.

Can I Patch Peeling Vinyl Myself?

You might be tempted to smooth down loose vinyl with tape and call it a day, but that’s a short-term bandage. Over time, the edges keep peeling, and your sign loses its crisp look. We recommend removing the damaged section and applying fresh, high-grade vinyl that won’t bubble or peel once it’s exposed to the Pawtucket weather. When done right, the new decal blends seamlessly, so passersby never realize a repair took place.

What If My Sign’s Metal Frame Is Rusting?

Rust is no joke. It weakens the whole structure and could lead to a wobbly sign in high winds. We handle rust by sanding away the corroded area, treating the metal with a protective coating, then repainting for a clean finish. If the frame is beyond saving, we’ll talk about replacing it outright. Better to pay a little extra now and avoid a sign collapse (and potential safety hazard) later. Your brand’s reputation is tied to that sign’s sturdiness—keep it solid.

Is Professional Maintenance Really Necessary?

We get this a lot: “It’s just a sign. Can’t I wait until something breaks?” You could, but a scheduled checkup can spot small issues—like a failing bulb or loose bracket—before they morph into costly disasters. A once-a-year inspection helps keep everything tight and bright, extending your sign’s lifespan. That means fewer emergency fixes and more time greeting customers with a rock-solid, polished face. In our experience, a little proactive care goes a long way.

Don’t let peeling vinyl, flickering lights, or suspicious rust scare off the crowd you’re trying to attract. At Allmark Signs & Graphics, we believe every sign should look its best, year after year.
