Outdoor Business Signs
Outdoor signs built for the long run.
Exterior commercial signage engineered for weather, code, and decades of service — from channel letters to monuments to high-visibility pylons.
Construction
What we build
Every sign is specified around the wall, the viewing distance and the brand. These are the constructions we fabricate most often.
Front-lit channel letters
Translucent acrylic faces lit from inside for maximum night visibility.
Typical spec
- Aluminum returns 3–5 in
- Acrylic face with trim cap
- Internal LED modules
- Remote or raceway power supply
Trimless front-lit letters
Front-lit letters without a visible trim cap for a cleaner, architectural edge.
Typical spec
- Acrylic face bonded to returns
- 3–5 in depth
- Internal LED modules
Front & halo (dual-lit) letters
Illuminated face and halo together for storefronts that need presence day and night.
Typical spec
- Acrylic face + open back
- Standoffs
- Dual LED circuits
Flat-cut metal & acrylic letters
Non-illuminated dimensional letters for lobbies, reception walls and building IDs.
Typical spec
- 1/4–1 in aluminum, stainless or acrylic
- Stud or standoff mount
- Painted, brushed or mirrored finish
Raceway-mounted letters
Letters mounted on a painted raceway that carries power and limits wall penetrations — common on leased storefronts.
Typical spec
- Extruded aluminum raceway color-matched to the facade
- Power supply inside raceway
- Single power feed
Lightbox & cabinet signs
Extruded aluminum cabinets with lit faces for pylons, monuments and storefronts.
Typical spec
- Single- or double-sided
- LED modules
- Routed aluminum or flexible face
- Replaceable faces
Overview
What we deliver
Outdoor signs take a beating. Weather, sun, wind load, vandalism — all of it. We build exterior signage with sealed LED systems, marine-grade fasteners, UV-stable finishes, and structural engineering for the worst local conditions, not the average.
Permits, foundations, electrical, and install handled end to end.
