General Wall Cabinet Sign
Cost Information
"How much money should I budget for a new sign?"
The following estimates are based on information on the
Pricing page that proceeded this page and includes all
features. It is a ball-park "budget" estimate of the
general cost of an installed sign. Because of the
huge impact a new sign has on a business you may want to
budget considerably more, depending on your particular
needs.
The cost is roughly identical for
either fluorescent OR first-surface LED cabinets.
4' x 8' single-face illuminated wall sign, installed:
$3,500.00.
3' x 12' single-face illuminated wall sign, installed:
$3,500.00.

repairing their brand-new sign.)

several-thousand-dollar deposit but never delivered my
sign, I was nervous. I’m sure glad I met you guys!”

Potential Texas Sales/Use Tax Savings – Separated
Contract
If we are manufacturing and/or installing a newly
constructed sign on a newly constructed building,
or a new free-standing sign, the State of Texas
only requires Sales/Use Tax to be paid on our cost of the
materials, NOT the full price of the sign, because of the
“Separated Contract” we will offer you. You will save much more than you can from most our competitors. Because we are actually the manufacturer, we must charge sales tax only on the cost of our raw materials, not what we paid someone else to build and ship the sign to us for.
Our invoices are the controlling part of a “Separated
Contract.” In the instances above we will provide
you with an invoice which is written to reflect Sales/Use
Taxes for the materials only.
This is an average savings of 80% of the usual
Texas Sales/Use Taxes!
The Obama Tax Compromise
Equipment and machinery purchased in 2012 will be 50% deductible during 2012, the balance depreciated.
An initial amount of $125,000 in purchases is fully deductible.
Signs are business equipment.
Securing Your Investment
“After being ripped-off by one
sign company, who took my several-thousand-dollar deposit
but never delivered my sign, I was nervous. I’m sure
glad I met you guys!”
Paul Lewis, Jubilee
Mortgage
All too often we hear about sign
companies who took deposits from customers but never
delivered their signs. In every instance, because
the sign company had few assets, there was no recourse.
We are also told of companies that
don’t pay for the materials used in a sign, and/or never
pay their laborers, in which case(s) THE CUSTOMER is
legally liable for these bills EVEN THOUGH they paid the
sign company!
Signs Manufacturing Corporation
protects our customers, as the law allows, by providing
them with both “Partial” and “Final” Lien Releases to
legally protect them should ANYONE question whether we
paid for materials and/or labor.
We also offer all our customers to be listed as "Additional Insured" for free on our $2,000,000 insurance policy, providing coverage if we default.
And as "Additional Insured" on our $25,000,000 Worker's Compensation/Accident Insurance.
Also, size DOES matter. Our
size, our investment in the community, and our State
licensing, insures our customers that we will be here to
deliver and install our signs (and to back our Lifetime
Warranty if our signs need service.)
Signs Manufacturing is insured,
registered, licensed and bonded per City and State
regulations, and carries product liability insurance.
We are regulated by the Texas Department of

"...I had to hound Vital ***** (a sign broker) for weeks and weeks, then I had to call ******** (the manufacturer) to finally get a hold of Vital *****. I thought Vital ***** was taking my deposit money and running. When he asked for the second deposit I was kind of hesitant based on my experience with him. I did some research on Vital ***** and there were judgments in Dallas County, civil judgments for Vital ***** taking money and not putting up a sign! But the manufacturer said I had to deal with him, and he already had a great deal of my money.
The installation company he subcontracted with, City *****, finally did show up and after giving them another $30,000 the sign was installed but City ***** didn't pay Vital *****, I guess, his "fair cut" of it.
Vital ***** was initially mad at City ***** and then he was mad at me, so he came and took the controller out of the sign so now it doesn't even work! I tried to go back to ******** (the manufacturer), and gave them all of the documentation and they said it's between me and Vital *****, they won't do anything about it. I'm never dealing any way but directly with a manufacturer again!"
Mr. Sinkler, Freedom Wash
"Our
electronic-message-centers were nightmares. Even
though they were only 2 years old the manufacturer
refused to service them."
Major
Vincent, Salvation Army
"Our
brand new sign looks terrible when it lights. All splotchy and uneven.
The company that installed it refuses to correct the problem. It is
killing our business. Fix it, but keep us informed as to the cost."
Delores Vasquez, Nations Video (They spent $2,000

"Our
LED electronic-message-center, which cost us over $28,000, failed when it
was 2 weeks old. The company that installed it refuses to repair it -
saying it can't be fixed. The manufacturer refuses to fix it also.
Please repair or replace it."
Mark McCarthy, Harvest Christian Fellowship (We
had to replace it, they had to sue the manufacturer and installer.)
"I cannot express how disappointed we are to
learn that our two-year-old $70,000 message center cannot be repaired.
I obviously wish we had purchased a good one from you."
Apostle Lobias Murray, Full Gospel Holy Temple
