Sign Services FAQs
What is a "Site Survey"?
1
This is the most critical first step. A technician visits your location to:
Measure the "fascia" (the wall space).
Check for electrical access.
Inspect the wall material (brick, EIFS, or metal) to determine the mounting hardware needed.
Identify any obstructions like trees or power lines.
Do I need to provide my own design?
2
While you can provide your own logo, sign designers specialize in "environmental branding"—knowing how colors and fonts will look under streetlights or at 60 mph. We provide in-house graphic design services.
Why is permitting so complicated?
3
Every city has a Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). These rules dictate how many square feet of signage you're allowed based on your building's "frontage." Sign services include handling the paperwork, attending city council meetings if a "variance" (an exception to the rule) is needed, and ensuring the sign is code-compliant.
How long does the permit process take?
4
Typically 2 to 6 weeks, depending on your local building department. Some historic districts may take longer as they require board approval for specific colors or materials.
How are signs actually installed?
5
Depending on the height and size, installers use:
Bucket Trucks: For standard storefront heights.
Crane Trucks: For large "pylon" signs or high-rise building IDs.
Swing Stages: For skyscraper-level branding.
My sign is flickering. Can it be fixed?
4
Yes! Most sign services include troubleshooting. This usually involves:
Replacing a faulty LED Driver (the most common failure point).
Cleaning out "bird nests" or debris from inside the cabinet.
Replacing cracked acrylic faces from storm damage.
