THE NEWPORT SIGN COMPANY BUSINESSES TRUST SINCE 1994.
Newport, Kentucky is one of the most-visited destinations in the region — anchored by Newport on the Levee, the Newport Aquarium, the Purple People Bridge, and a dense urban storefront district along Monmouth Street and Saratoga. Tri-State Signs designs, fabricates, permits, installs, and services commercial signage across Newport and Campbell 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 NEWPORT SHOP. EVERY STEP.
Most Newport 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 Newport on the Levee, Monmouth St, the Purple People Bridge, 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 Newport.
- 30+ years building signs across the Tri-State — established 1994
- In-house design, engineering, fabrication, and installation under one roof
- UL-certified for electrical signage; licensed and fully insured in OH and KY
- We pull our own sign permits in Newport and every surrounding jurisdiction
