In a lot of ways, my role is making sure that information ends up where it needs to go. As we’ve been growing, this has become increasingly important – keeping track of everything is one thing when there’s two people in the office, and it’s another thing to make sure everyone knows what they need to know when there’s seven people in the office.

The product we offer at C & B Signs is more comprehensive than you would get from most contractors. If you come to us with a simple request like, “I have a station that’s in this brand, and I need to move it over to that brand”, we’re a one-stop shop for just about everything you’ll need, from the smallest stickers on the pumps to the install of fascia or new pole signs. We make sure that our work not only matches the scope we promised, but also that it fits the often very complicated brand standards and local codes in play, so we work with jobbers, brand representative, and local zoning to put together a plan that everyone can work with. Then, in the actual execution of the work, we hold everything to a very high standard, to make sure that the final work is approved by the brand.

The best part of being in a company growing as fast as C & B Signs is that there’s always new things to learn, and the team is made up of people who are always willing to pitch in and help each other out. I’ve been here seven years now, and I’m still not bored, which is amazing to me.

For the first ten years or so of this company, Steve worked alone – just one man, carrying out the entire massive load of reimaging an entire gas station all on his own shoulders. Each year, more and more customers wanted what he had to offer, and so he hired Greg Haap to help him. Each year, more and more customers wanted what he had to offer, and so he hired more people. Forty years later, we’re running a large operation that’s grown by word of mouth.
