A couple of years ago, we discussed the services sign companies offer that you may not be aware of. Today, we want to explore services that sign companies should offer, but many may not be familiar with. Let’s talk about it.
Site Surveys and Analysis to Ensure Code Compliance, Accuracy, and Sign Effectiveness
Did you know that Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, and other surrounding cities have unique sign ordinances that regulate the size, placement, and sometimes even the color choices acceptable for your signage? By visiting your location first, we prevent you from having signage put together that the municipality will eventually reject.
Additionally, the initial site survey is crucial for verifying building dimensions, the composition of the mounting surface, setbacks, and sight lines. It lets our team create a signage solution that ensures optimal visibility, taking into account pedestrian angles, readability with traffic speed in mind, and UV protection for signs that will receive significant sun exposure.
There is also the concern over brand consistency in the context of your company’s location. Just because a sign looks good on the computer does not mean that it fits with your building’s architecture. We visit you to make sure the proposed sign displays your brand message in its best light.
Graphic Design Consultations Help Take Your Vision and Turn It Into Tangible Signage
It is a common misconception that our clients submit their signage orders with all design elements already completed. Instead, we routinely work with clients to transform rough ideas into detailed blueprints for exceptional signs. As a result, we can fully customize the sign to stand out whether we mount it to a wall, pylon, or window pane.
Our graphic artist can assist with the sign’s complete design or only offer advice for some finishing touches. We focus on the product’s readability, suitable font sizes, color contrasts, and material selection. Concurrently, we incorporate our expertise regarding governing zoning rules to ensure the sign you envision is feasible at your location. Many clients appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with an expert in the field before their plans go to fabrication.
Leave the Burdensome Process of Permitting to the Experts
Navigating sign codes can seem like a daunting process – unless you have done it hundreds of times. We are familiar with the sign codes governing size, placement, height, lighting, and material use for Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, and the surrounding cities. Our front office handles the paperwork, required drawings, and follow-ups to obtain city approvals.
There are no costly mistakes that set your signage installation back by weeks or longer. Additionally, adhering to governing city codes ensures the safety of the sign with respect to wind loads, electrical wiring, and overall structural safety. You can be confident that your signage project proceeds smoothly from fabrication to installation.
It is interesting to note that all full-service sign shops should offer these services; however, they do not. To experience what real full-service looks like, connect with our team today!
