OUR
STORY
Starting in his basement in 1983 Dan Kudar built RealSigns Incorporated from next to nothing. Forty-one years later his business is thriving as a major contributor to the Real Estate industry in and around the Treasure Valley.
RealSigns Incorporated primarily works with Real Estate partners in providing signage from Yard Signs and Open House A-Frames to larger signs for Commercial Realtors and Builders to diplay their
up-and-coming homes and subdivisions.
​
Although Real Estate is our primary business we strive to increase our client base so we may provide our skills, amazing products, and experience with anyone looking for vinyl-based products & signage.
Where the magic happens
RealSigns Inc. has moved to Meridian! Come take a look at our new facilities sometime! We have a larger storefront full of stock items and sign examples. Offices with closed doors providing better meeting space. Our printers and vinyl plotter have their own space next to our production 'hallway'. With tall ceiling and two garage bays we have the space to make your sign ideas into reality.
Come see our production in real time from the computer screen to finished product. Review our options for material and sign possibilities. Bring your idea to us and we'll take care of your needs. Our printers run all day and all of our signs are real!

Tony Merrick

Not much is known about the man they call Beautiful Tony. It’s rumored that after completing the graphic design program at BSU he moved to Brooklyn to be a stay at home dad while working as a freelance designer. At some point Tony absconded from the east and found a home with the design team at RealSigns where he enjoys working with clients to make the best signs in the valley. In his free time Tony is amassing a small army, likely for nefarious purposes. Thus far his only recruits are his three kids; Jubilee, Jack and June.

Moving into the position of manager here at our shop, she now handles the back end side of the shop, striving to make Realsigns better everyday. She also loves to spend time with her family and friends outside of work doing numerous activities like snowmobiling, riding ATV's, and wakeboarding.

Cindy is a joy to have at the shop. She brings with her a humorous sarcastic demeanor and we always know she is happy to be here as she is always asking "Am I fired yet?" In all seriousness, she is an important member of the RealSigns team and we don't know what we would do without her.

On top of the construction of large format signs he also is integral in the coordination and installation of the very same signs. The soundtrack to Marks corner of the shop can be summed up as a symphony of NPR radio, Paint rollers flying across new posts, and drills putting everything together.
