Would you entrust a home improvement project to just anyone? Of course not! The same should be true for your commercial building sign design, manufacture, and installation. In fact, there are some must-know details about building sign installation in Chicago.
Work with Licensed Experts Who Have the Right Equipment
Many sign shops do not have an electrical license. This means that they have to subcontract the installation of the sign to a crew. The same is true for the company that has not invested in the right equipment. In some cases, these folks will try to rent the equipment they need. But more often than not, they will sub out this part of the project.
The problems of this approach are evident. You have to work with a third-party vendor. They may not be as good at their jobs as you had hoped. You have to coordinate with their crew managers to get the work done. In contrast, when you work with a sign shop that has all the right licenses in place as well as the aerial bucket truck necessary, you do business with the company you have come to trust.
The Behind-the-Scenes Aspects of Permitting
Pulling a permit for your building sign installation is a necessity. Some shops offer to help you with the paperwork. This means that you are still on the hook for the filing, meeting deadlines, and handling questions. A full-service sign business does not expect you to spend a day at the zoning office. We have staff members who manage all aspects of the permitting process and ensure that everyone signs off on the project in a timely manner.
What a Full-Service Sign Shop Brings to the Table
It is a common misconception that a sign business only deals with new designs and installations. In fact, our full-service shop also handles retrofits. You may move into a location that already has a cabinet sign on site. Rather than replacing it, we can upgrade it with LEDs – if needed – and update it with your corporate information. Doing so saves you money.
When you do need a new sign, we help from inception all the way through the final installation. Our graphic artist assists with design ideas. When you already know what you want, we translate your vision into a tangible product display. If you are unsure what type of sign would get across your brand message, we offer advice and assistance with the design portion from the ground up.
Moreover, our shop specializes in multiple signage designs. There are three-dimensional letters, channel letters, and cabinets. We can also assist with the more unusual signage setups such as boards and hanging shingles. Our experts provide support at every step of the way to ensure that you get the right sign for your specific building setup.
