Signs Built to Last,
Designed to Convert
Three specialties, one studio. From concept to installation, every sign is crafted at our Cambridge workshop - no middlemen, no overseas factories.
Channel Letters, Box Signs & Illuminated Fascia
Your storefront sign works around the clock - attracting foot traffic during the day, glowing on the street at night, and reinforcing your brand every single time someone drives past. DLST fabricates the full range of commercial signage for restaurants, retailers, medical practices, and professional offices across Waterloo Region, Peel Region, Hamilton, London, and Niagara.
From a single backlit channel letter set to a complete multi-tenant plaza rebrand, every commercial sign we build is fabricated in-house using commercial-grade LED modules and weatherproof enclosures rated for Canadian winters. We also handle the permit process - so you don't have to navigate municipal sign bylaws on your own.
- Channel letters (front-lit, backlit, and halo)
- Monument signs
- Box signs
- Dimensional letters and logos
- Permit handling and municipal approvals
LED Neon & Glass Neon Crafted to Your Vision
Neon is having a moment - and for good reason. Whether it's a logo behind your bar, a tagline on your studio wall, or a statement piece in your retail space, a custom neon sign is something customers photograph and share. DLST builds LED neon flex and traditional glass neon in any shape, any colour, for indoor and outdoor applications.
We prototype custom shapes before quoting, so you're approving the exact curve and weight of the piece - not a rough estimate. Every neon sign leaves the shop fully tested, mounted on a backing panel, and ready to hang.
- LED neon flex in any colour
- Real glass neon for traditional applications
- Any shape, logo, or custom lettering
- Indoor and outdoor rated (IP67)
- Event and seasonal rentals available
Lighting Installations That Draw Foot Traffic
Decorative lighting is one of the highest-ROI investments a commercial property can make. The right installation drives foot traffic, generates social media content, and turns your storefront or plaza into a destination. DLST designs, installs, and takes down lighting decorations for commercial properties, plazas, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues across the region.
We offer multi-year packages that reduce per-season cost and guarantee your property is decorated consistently every year without the headache of storage, logistics, or sourcing new product. Install and takedown are always included.
- Commercial plaza and property lighting
- Restaurant, bar, and venue interior décor
- Interior and event lighting themes
- Professional install and takedown included
- Multi-year maintenance packages
What Sets DLST Apart
In-House Fabrication
Every sign is built at our Cambridge workshop. No subcontractors, no overseas factories, no mystery supply chains. You can visit mid-build and see your sign in progress. That's not a marketing promise - it's just how a local shop works.
10+ Years of Experience
Over a decade of fabricating commercial signs, neon pieces, and lighting decorations across Waterloo Region and beyond. We've seen every mounting challenge, every bylaw quirk, and every material failure - and we build around them.
Permit Support
Sign permits are confusing, slow, and easy to get wrong. We handle the permit process in most municipalities we serve - preparing drawings, submitting applications, and coordinating approvals so your project doesn't stall on a bylaw technicality.
Weatherproof Materials
Signs in Ontario face freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, ice load, and summer UV. We spec materials accordingly - UL-listed drivers, IP65+ outdoor ratings, aluminum enclosures, and silicone sealing. Signs that survive Cambridge winters survive anywhere.
Quick Turnaround
Standard projects complete in 5–10 business days from design approval. Rush services are available for grand openings, event deadlines, or last-minute seasonal needs. Because fabricating in-house means we control the schedule - not a shipping container.
Post-Install Support
We don't disappear after the sign goes up. DLST offers a 1-year warranty on materials and LED components, maintenance visits for signs we've fabricated, and direct access to the team that built your sign - no ticket system, no call centre.
From First Call to Final Install
Consult
Tell us about your space, your brand, and your timeline. We'll ask the right questions and give you a realistic scope - no obligation, no pressure.

Our team produces a colour-accurate digital proof to actual dimensions. You review, request changes, and give written approval before we touch a single material.
Fabricate
We build your sign at 50 Goebel Ave. in Cambridge - cut, wired, assembled, and fully tested before it leaves the shop. You're welcome to visit during production.
Install
Our crew handles professional installation across Waterloo Region, Peel Region, Hamilton, London, and Niagara. We manage permits, mount securely, and test every component on-site before we leave.
