About us

Since our beginning, Leon’s Signs has been a locally owned and operated sign manufacturer and installer in Tyler, Texas. The source of our longevity is simple: our dedication to delivering high quality signage that exceeds customer expectations.

In 1946, Leon Graham returned to Texas and founded Leon’s Signs after serving in the Merchant Marines. From humble beginnings on East Erwin street in Tyler, we have been at our current location on the North Loop since 1965. We have over 20,000sqft of office, manufacturing, and paint space, and are a full-service sign manufacturer and installer. If you can imagine it, we can design it, build it, light it, install it, and service it. And we do it right here in East Texas.
