Sanibel Sign Services* (*Sanibel Sign Services ceased operations after Hurricane Charley in 2004.  I am maintaining this page for historic and nostalgic reasons —  Charles LeBuff )     Sanibel Sign Services served the residential and business communities of Sanibel & Captiva Islands with fine signcraft for 46 years.  Charles LeBuff established the company in 1959, and it was the only commercial sign shop to be physically located on Sanibel Island.  In 2004, Charles opted to close this business and move further into retirement.       Over the years, Sanibel Sign Services produced a variety of quality, long-lasting signage. These were quality signs designed to withstand the rigors of harsh environments — including the wind and water savagery of Hurricanes Donna and Charley.  Many of our signs were still standing while those made by others fell to the fury of the wind.  Over the years, we specialized in production of the following types of signs:                 Sandblasted wood and HDU Foam Hand-carved Plastic Computer-cut vinyl letters & graphics Temporary, Real Estate, Pool & Spa Rules Windows & Doors Vehicles & Boats Accessory & Regulatory Traffic control & Novelty Banners  Metal plaques        The portfolio of signs pictured on this page are representative of some of the hundreds of signs Charles crafted through the years for his customers on Sanibel and Captiva Islands.  All signs displayed were manufactured in our Sanibel Island shop.      This entrance sign greets visitors to the City of Sanibel. This sign is sandblasted, from clear-heart, vertical grain, California redwood. It is located on Causeway Road, Sanibel Island, Florida. The original sign was destroyed in a collision with a motor vehicle. We manufactured this replacement.       Another of our sandblasted redwood signs.       Reverse blasted (recessed copy) Western red cedar plaque.         The two signs above are sandblasted high-density urethane foam (HDU). Each has a simulated wood grain background.  The butterfly was carved from the HDU foam. This sign is sandblasted HDU foam, but without the wood grain effect. The background was stained and the copy and border were gold-leafed.  The dimensional seashell, a junonia, is also carved from the same medium. The upper sign is double-faced. It has a PVC panel with computer-cut vinyl letters. The lower sign is MDO plywood with cutout dimensional HDU foam letters. Blue goose banner, vinyl copy on quality banner material.
