Our Story

The story of Port City Signs & Graphics began in 1948 during the post–World War II boom. Founded by Robert Barefoot as Port City Signs, the company started as an artisan sign-painting operation built on craftsmanship and service. Barefoot later passed the reins to his protégé Fred Maurer, who grew up in the trade and carried forward the company’s tradition of quality and reliability.

In 2008, a new chapter began when Sabrina Davis acquired the business. With her background in journalism, design, and marketing, she led the company’s transition into a modern, technology-driven manufacturer. The business was renamed Port City Signs & Graphics, reflecting expanded capabilities in wide-format digital printing, CNC routing, and custom fabrication. The company moved from its longtime Castle Street location to Oleander Drive, where it operated for 13 years, before relocating in 2021 to its current facility on Capital Drive.

“The staff at Port City Signs were fantastic.  They were quick to respond to my first call, reviewed my design and offered several options and their recommendations.  I had a custom designed sign created for a rental property with several colors, which they installed as well.  Very professional and helpful.  Bottom line… it was a great experience and the sign was exactly what I wanted.  Thanks”

Mark Dirks

“We were on a tight deadline and had a larger order we needed to place for custom signs, both ADA compliant and non-ADA compliant. The team at Port City Signs & Graphics worked quickly and professionally to get us everything we needed. With something as mundane as restroom signs it’s uncommon to receive compliments. But because our custom signs were so well designed, we’ve received several compliments. Thank you to everyone at Port City Signs & Graphics for the great work.”

Brunswick County Schools recently used Port City Signs & Graphics to produce our kindergarten registration signs. The sales team was incredibly accommodating and worked with us every step of the way. The signs turned out great and were high quality. We already plan to use Port City Signs & Graphics for future marketing efforts.

Gordon

In my business, we work with a lot of consultants and suppliers but I don’t remember any as thorough, fair, responsive, and customer-friendly as Port City Signs. From scoping the project, to design and then installation, we had an incredibly smooth experience with strong communication every step of the way. I highly recommend Port City Signs for any and all signage needs.
