The first step is a conversation about your project, timeline, goals and expectations. This takes anywhere between 10-30 minutes, and is enough for us to start initial research and schedule a survey.
An on-site survey is required for many, but not all projects. We’ll take measurements, ensure we know our way around the job site and show you initial mockups. In some cases we can do the survey without your presence.
After the survey, we’ll get to work creating an exceptional design for your sign. Design is the cornerstone of every great sign project, and we sweat the details to make sure nothing is overlooked.
Many exterior and all electrical signs require a local permit. We make the process seamless and take care of the entire workflow. As soon as you sign off on the design of the sign, we’ll start the permit application. If your sign is for your interior, skip this step.
If a permit was required for your sign, we’ll wait for the initial approval before starting the custom manufacturing process. If no permit is required, your sign will go into fabrication right away.
When the sign is ready we’ll schedule an installation. Most projects can be installed in one day, some require 2-3 days. By this point in the project you'll know exactly what to expect. If a permit was required, we'll support the inspection until final sign-off.
At Signature Signs, we understand that the durability and appearance of your signage are paramount, which is why we only use high-quality materials in our projects. For our popular illuminated channel letters, we specifically use 3/16" acrylic and 3M vinyl for vibrant and long-lasting colors, as well as Gemini or Jewelite trim cap for a sleek finish. Additionally, we equip these signs with high-quality, brand name electronic components and LEDs to ensure reliability and efficiency. We believe in honesty and integrity in all our dealings, which means we never promise deadlines we can't meet, nor do we compromise on quality by using cheap materials.
