How Much Does a Custom Neon Sign Cost in 2026?
2026-07-24
A custom LED neon sign typically starts around $100 and rises with size, the number of letters, tube thickness and whether it's indoor or outdoor-rated. Most home and event signs land in the low-to-mid hundreds, while large storefront pieces are quoted individually.
What drives the price of a neon sign?
- Length of text — more letters means more LED tubing and labor.
- Size — small, medium, large and extra-large scale the price up.
- Tube thickness — 6mm, 8mm or 10mm; thicker tubing costs a little more.
- Indoor vs. outdoor — a waterproof outdoor finish adds cost.
- Backing & mounting — cut-to-shape, full board and hanging options.
Typical price ranges
Short home sign — a one-word name or short phrase usually sits near the entry price of about $100–$200.
Wedding / statement sign — names plus a date or hashtag at a larger size commonly runs in the mid hundreds.
Business / storefront — logo recreations and large exterior signs are quoted individually for an exact price.

Frequently asked questions
Is a custom neon sign cheaper than glass neon?
Almost always. LED neon costs less to make and far less to run — up to ~80% less energy than glass neon — and it avoids costly glass repairs. Over its 50,000+ hour life, the savings add up significantly.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The live designer shows your exact price as you choose options, and U.S. shipping is free on orders over $150.
Why do some signs cost more than the starting price?
Bigger sizes, more letters, thicker tubing and outdoor waterproofing all add materials and labor. You control these in the designer, so you can dial the price to your budget.
