About Mike Reilly

WHO ARE WEMike and his wife Laura founded Starfish Signs in 2012, with an intense focus on quality products and responsive service. Mike’s engineering and operations expertise is of significant benefit to Starfish Signs & Graphics’ clients, particularly for complex tenant improvement or retail store projects. YOUR CHALLENGESUnlike many other products and services, many businesses only infrequently invest in interior or exterior signs. And because almost all signs are custom, the process of selecting materials, achieving a compelling design, and navigating through the City permitting process can be intimidating. You don’t want to spend time reading sign ordinances, completing permit applications, or choosing materials for your signs. And even for interior signs, there are numerous compliance issues, related to ADA requirements, hazards, safety communications and emergency exits. OUR SOLUTIONAt Starfish Signs & Graphics, our turnkey project management process handles these important details for you. When you engage with us, you may be in the process of opening a new business, expanding to new facilities, or renovating existing space. By allowing us to handle your signage process, you can stay focused on your business. Because of our extensive experience with City permitting at many Southern California cities, we can frequently expedite the project as well. And for those ADA, OSHA and fire code compliance matters, our sign designers will ensure not only compliance, but also that your signs have the look and feel that is consistent with your brand and with the rest of your space. YOUR NEXT STEPNo matter where you are with your sign and graphics project, we can help. Whether it is pre-construction consultation, sign design, fabrication, installation or even service of existing signs.
