Frequently Asked Questions

There’s no "best" type of sign because different sign types are ideal for different circumstances. For example, monument signs are permanent structures at eye level, which is great for marking entrances and adding a touch of sophistication. Pylon signs, on the other hand, can be seen from great distances, which helps drivers find the location from far away, and helps the business stand out from nearby competition.

Digital message centers can be bright, animated, and display multiple messages on a single screen, which is very useful for grabbing attention and giving information. However, a business may wish to put its name and logo above its entrance with a channel letter sign because it is permanent and offers a floating, 3D effect.

Every sign makes a process smoother, easier, and faster. This includes finding the building, navigating inside, telling prices, and sharing the WiFi password. When a sign answers a question, people feel less anxious and they don’t need to interrupt staff to get an answer.

More directly, attractive signs attract foot traffic and sales, especially impulse purchases. Signs are the first part of a business that most people see, and will affect what they think about the business before they even walk inside.

Our legal team will check on all local ordinances and acquire the necessary permits. If city workers or police are necessary during installation, the team can set that up as well. Finally, the signs are delivered to the site and installed by our crew. If you have any questions during the process, you have a single point of contact from start to finish.

Signs should have a check-up before major weather changes, such as right before winter, or the wet season in tropical places. It’s always better to have more frequent checks and small repairs done than putting it off until there’s a catastrophic failure.

Sign failures are dangerous hazards to all nearby people and property. On top of being significantly more expensive to repair, downed signs also harm the business by reducing foot traffic and brand image.
