THE COVINGTON SIGN COMPANY BUSINESSES TRUST SINCE 1994.
Covington, Kentucky sits directly across the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati — home to MainStrasse Village, RiverCenter, the IRS campus, Mutual of America Tower, and a fast-growing restaurant and boutique scene that demands character-driven storefront signage. Tri-State Signs designs, fabricates, permits, installs, and services commercial signage across Covington and Kenton County — channel letters, monument signs, pylon signs, digital LED, wayfinding, and ADA — built in our Hamilton, OH shop and installed by our own crews.
ONE COVINGTON SHOP. EVERY STEP.
Most Covington sign jobs get subbed out — design here, fabrication out of state, installation through a broker. We don't work that way. From the first site survey on MainStrasse Village, RiverCenter, Roebling Point, Madison Avenue, and the Riverfront to the last bolt in the wall, your sign is designed, engineered, manufactured, permitted, and installed by Tri-State Signs employees out of our Hamilton, Ohio facility — a short drive from Covington.
