How long does it take to "build" a sign?

The "usual" process for area customers is to meet you on site to find out what you want, and to inspect the installation location.  We will  take digital pictures of sign locations, and measurements of the building if this is an attached sign.

We usually have a pretty good idea of what the City and landlord will allow in signage, so we can point you in a direction that will ultimately be allowed.  We can make observations and point-out possible design details that will enhance the success of your signs.

Before we prepare your quotation we will need:

• "Landlord Sign Requirements" from your lease if applicable, so we can verify what your landlord allows.

• The locations address, so we can check City Sign Ordinances and City Special Sign Districts to verify what is allowed by the City.

• A plat of the property showing easements if this is a detached sign, or an attached sign being installed in Southlake, Texas.

We will then prepare:

• Drawings of the signs, how they will be made, and installed.  The drawings will show each sign, in scale, installed on the building if applicable.  The drawings will document that the signs meets Underwriter's Laboratory Sign Buyer's Guidelines and are a "Listed" product.

• Certified engineering for detached signs certifying that the designs and installations will withstand a 100 mph wind (in central Texas, 140 mph in Florida.)

• Our quotation.

View our "Permits & Approvals" section under our "Installation & Service" tab for more detail on the above.

We then need:

• Your design approvals, in writing.  We will modify the sign designs until you are happy.

• Your landlord's approvals, in writing (this is actually to protect you.)

• Your City's approved Sign Permits, which we will apply for.

Now we can begin construction of your signs.

Installation time for attached signs is usually 2-3 weeks, for detached signs 4-6 weeks after we begin construction.

With your written approval we will begin construction of your signs prior to receiving your landlord's approval and the City sign permit, but you are responsible for any wasted costs incurred if either disapproves your signs for any reason!

View our "Installation & Service" tab for installation details.

Permitting, production and installation planning is a complicated process (but we’re good at it!)

You will have computer access to view the progress, and projected completion dates, on your project(s).  You will also receive periodic emails if you desire.

We furnish our customers a "Grand Opening Package" featuring a free parking lot "Coming Soon" free-standing portable sign to attract attention while their sign is being constructed.

We can also supply banners and pendants.

"Coming Soon" and/or "Grand Opening" Banners, pendants (small plastic flags on a rope), and portable signs are very good ideas if your landlord and City allow them.

Almost every City requires an additional Sign Permit for banners and portable signs, and allows their use for one month four times a year.  Most cities do not allow pendants.

We will file for your Portable Sign, banner, and pendant permits for free while we are filing for your major sign permit.  See our "Permits & Approvals" page under "Installation & Service."  We only charge for the actual cost of the City permits.

Almost no City allows banners to be placed on existing free-standing signs, fences, or between light poles.

Click our "Other Products" tab for construction details on banners.
