Custom Metal Sign Frame for Gordy’s Marine, Lake Geneva, WI

R.C. Portable Welding & Fabrication recently completed a custom metal fabrication project for Gordy’s Marine, a well-known establishment in Fontana on the west side of Lake Geneva. Gordy’s Marine, seeking a unique display for their waterfront restaurant, reached out to us via email after being referred by another local business.

They had a clear vision for a custom aluminum sign frame with a roof structure to match their lakefront awning and maintain their distinctive branding. Our work with them aimed to make their vision a reality while showcasing our professional sign fabrication services.

Understanding the Client’s Vision and Requirements

In our initial discussions, Gordy’s Marine outlined a few specific needs. They wanted the frame to not only serve as a practical sign holder but also as an eye-catching feature that matched the aesthetic of their business. The color and structure were important to them, as they needed the aluminum frame’s powder coating to match their business colors precisely. To confirm the details and gather final measurements, we scheduled an on-site meeting to ensure the sign frame would align with the dimensions and style of their lakefront property.

When we arrived, it was clear that Gordy’s Marine was excited about the project. They had a distinct vision and were eager to see the sign take shape. We assured them we could create a structure that balanced durability and design, blending seamlessly with their existing outdoor setup.

Fabricating the Custom Sign Frame

For this project, we used specialized equipment at our workshop, including aluminum TIG and MIG welders, a hydraulic press brake, hydraulic shear, a band saw, and a hydraulic punch press. Each step in the fabrication process focused on meeting Gordy’s Marine’s specifications for durability and aesthetics. We crafted the sign frame and roofing structure with precision, creating an elegant yet solid frame that matched their brand colors exactly.

We crafted each component to meet Gordy’s Marine’s high standards and the harsh conditions of an outdoor lakeside environment. The entire project, including the on-site assessment and fabrication, was completed within two weeks, meeting their schedule requirements and ensuring readiness for their busy season.

Outcome and Client Satisfaction

Once the custom sign frame was installed, Gordy’s Marine was thrilled with the result! The final product exceeded their expectations, offering a distinctive and durable structure that elevated their lakefront presence. Gordy’s Marine shared how pleased they were with the look and quality of the finished sign, which even surpassed their original vision. The frame and roof seamlessly integrated with their space, providing their envisioned visual impact.
