Family owned since 1942, Metro Signs & Lighting has grown over the past 80 years from a small installation firm into a full-service Sign and Lighting solutions company covering all of southern Michigan. John and Paul Deters purchased Metro Detroit Signs in 1996 from the Randall family, adding custom design and fabrication capabilities for local clients shortly afterwards.
With a growing customer base that needed ongoing support for their sign and lighting needs, Metro Detroit Signs rebranded to Metro Signs & Lighting after opening a second location in Grand Rapids. Now headquartered on Kaltz Avenue in Warren, Metro Signs & Lighting is proud to be the home of a 3rd generation of Deters.
Resourceful: Our team approaches projects and challenges with an open mind and a can-do attitude. This allows us to implement creative and effective solutions for our clients.
Caring: Creating a family atmosphere is one of our top priorities. We strive to work humbly and with a customer-focused mindset that creates positive influences on our communities.
Gritty: Tough conditions and setbacks are a part of growth, so we encourage our team to approach roadblocks with a tenacious and driven mindset. This competitive spirit is how we exceed customer expectations and meet demanding deadlines.
Our lighting solutions help businesses improve visibility, reduce energy consumption, and support safer properties. As an experienced lighting contractor, we design, install, and maintain interior and exterior commercial lighting systems, including LED retrofits, smart lighting controls, parking lot lighting, and Dark Sky compliant fixtures. We also work with Michigan Saves and Lean & Green Michigan to help eligible businesses explore financing options for energy-efficient lighting upgrades.
Our licensed installers and project managers oversee every phase of the installation process, from permitting and site preparation to final placement and inspections. Whether we’re installing custom commercial signs, upgrading exterior lighting, or completing EV charging station installations, our team works efficiently while maintaining a strong focus on quality and safety.
As a custom sign company, we fabricate a wide range of commercial signs in our in-house manufacturing facility. Our experienced craftsmen produce code-compliant signage for businesses across Michigan, using quality materials and proven fabrication techniques. From storefront signs and monument signs to illuminated displays and custom branding elements, every project is built to meet your specifications and installation requirements.
Our relationship with clients continues long after installation. We provide sign and lighting maintenance services that help businesses address routine wear, unexpected damage, and lighting issues as they arise. From scheduled inspections and LED replacements to sign repairs and lighting service, our team helps keep commercial properties operating safely and looking professional throughout the year.
