About Us

Welcome to a family owned business that has been operating since 1989. Traditional signwriter and owner, Nick Marandola, has accumulated over 35 years of industry knowledge throughout his career.

Nick began his apprenticeship in 1983 and after graduating, he immediately set out to gain valuable experience within the industry, as he worked at well known sign companies at the time. 

In 1989, Nick decided he was ready to launch his own business, Brush Art Signs. For the next 15 years, he served both small and large businesses under this name. Due to rapid changes in the industry and his determination to stay at the forefront, Nick decided to invest in his business by training in graphic design. Now well versed in programs such as Illustrator,  Photoshop, Signlab, and Flexi Sign, he was able to offer clients a wider range of graphic services. It is here, Nick reflected on the new direction of the business and decided a name change was in order. In 2004, Essential Signs was born.

Nick has witnessed the signage industry evolve from one of traditionally brush skills, to vinyl cut lettering and large format digital printing. Essential Signs continues to deliver the highest quality product, service and technical expertise to their customers. By working alongside and collaborating with them, Essential Signs achieve the best possible results for their customers specific needs and wants.

Essential Signs believes that trust, commitment and providing a quality service is what set them apart from the competition. If you are looking to brand your business the right way, don't look any further.
