Founded by Michael J. Peras more than 25 years ago, Ultimate Signs and Designs Corp. is now run by his daughter, Shanna Peras, giving the Hempstead sign maker a distinctly family-run character. The company is known for taking on large-scale sign conversion programs when deadlines are unusually tight, serving major retail clients across the New York tri-state area. Its union shop and in-house plant support sign projects from design through installation.
