Let There Be Neon has had only the most positive working relationship with Louis Striar Inc for over four decades. Their professionalism and knowledge of the very difficult and ever-expanding NYC sign codes and regulations are an essential part of our business. Their ability to guide us through the maze known as the Department of Buildings not only makes our job easier but it helps ensure successful projects and extremely pleased clients. We would encourage all sign professionals to consider them part of their business plan as we do in ours.
