Freestanding monument, pylon and post-and-panel signs for offices, retail centers, churches, schools and industrial sites — from site survey to installation.
A monument or pylon sign is the first thing visitors look for when they’re trying to find you. It needs to be readable from a moving car, placed where it won’t block drivers’ sight lines, and built on a foundation that lasts.
Low, ground-mounted signs with a solid base — aluminum, masonry-look or stone veneer — for office parks, medical buildings and campuses.
Tall, pole-mounted signs that are visible from highways and busy roads, often with panels for several tenants.
Replaceable tenant panels so property managers can update listings when tenants change.
An economical freestanding option for smaller properties, entrances and parking areas.
Internally lit cabinets, push-through letters and LED message centers for after-dark visibility.
New faces, paint and LED upgrades for existing monument and pylon structures.
Site survey, brand review and custom design from our in-house team.
We prepare drawings and handle municipal permits and landlord approvals.
Quality materials and current production equipment, built to last.
Professional installation plus ongoing maintenance and repair.
Freestanding signs are construction projects. Zoning rules usually limit height, size and how far the sign must sit from the property line, and the sign needs a proper foundation and often an electrical run. Planning those details first avoids expensive changes later.
A monument sign sits low to the ground on a solid base and suits offices, campuses and properties seen at closer range. A pylon sign is mounted on one or more tall poles so it can be seen from farther away, which makes it a better fit for highway frontage and retail centers.
It depends mostly on permitting. Design and proof approval come first, then the permit application, then fabrication and installation. We’ll give you a realistic schedule for your municipality when we quote.
Yes. If the structure is sound, refacing is the fastest way to update a sign after a rebrand or tenant change. We can also upgrade old fluorescent lighting to LED at the same time.
Yes. We can produce matching replacement panels for multi-tenant signs so new tenants look consistent with the rest of the sign.
Yes — most properties pair a monument sign with storefront or channel letter signs on the building so both match.
We do. Freestanding signs typically need a zoning review and permit, and we prepare the site plan and drawings that go with the application.
