Storefront & building signs

Signs over the door, on the wall and sticking out from the building, made to be seen from the street and the sidewalk.

Your storefront sign works every hour you're open and every hour you're closed. We make wall and fascia signs, projecting and blade signs, and hanging signs that are easy to read from the street and the sidewalk.

Most storefront jobs need landlord approval as well as a city permit. We draw up the proposal, take care of both approvals and remove your old sign when the new one goes up.

What we make

  • Wall and fascia signs
  • Projecting and blade signs
  • Hanging signs

Sizes & timeline

Sizes

Storefront sign size is usually limited by your lease and the city's sign rules, often based on the width of your storefront. We check both before we design.

Timeline

Most storefront signs take about 3 to 5 weeks after proof approval, depending on permits and landlord review.

Common questions

What size sign am I allowed?

It depends on your city and your lease. We check both and design to the largest sign you're allowed.

Do you handle the landlord approval?

Yes. We prepare the drawings landlords usually ask for and submit them.

Can you remove our old sign?

Yes, and we patch the wall before the new one goes up.

Can you do a temporary sign while we wait for the permit?

Yes. A banner is a quick option while the permanent sign is in progress.
