Buddy Norvell, founder of Norvell Signs, began hand lettering in the army, while stationed in Fort Benning, Georgia. Upon returning to Richmond in 1953, he worked for a local sign company to better his talent. In 1959, he began working for himself out of his father's garage.

Five years later he moved the business to its' present location at 5928 Nine Mile Road, where he continued to only do hand lettering. It wasn't until 1974 he decided to expand the business and start fabricating lighted signs. The business continued to grow more and more over the years, going from nothing but hand lettering, to vinyl lettering, sand blasted, channel letters, marquees, neon, installations and many other types of commercial or personal signage.

Norvell Signs have provided quality signs and service to all of our customers through the years, serving several national companies such as Chrysler Corp., Holiday Inn, Taco Bell, Arby's and KFC. On a local level we provide service for names such as G.E. Financial Assurance Corporation Offices and SunTrust Bank. We look forward to serving all old and new customers the best that we can for many years to come.

Today, the family tradition continues with Buddy's sons, Danny and Dwayne, who now own the business.

We are members of the Virginia Sign Association and ISA.
