At Vision Visual Custom Sign Company, we offer LED retrofitting services to update and modernize existing signage, including illuminated signs. Our services include inspection of existing structures and specifying the most economical and robust LED solution for your signs. Many systems are available to meet your needs of reducing operating costs, optimizing operations, and eliminating service and repair requirements.

Our team is equipped to handle mid and high-rise installation and related services for business signs. When things are just out of reach for our service trucks, we offer rappelling and swing stage services for removal, surface restoration, installation, and servicing of elevated signs.

Our company handles the entire process in-house, from initial design concepts to fabrication and final installation. Our design staff is well versed in sign design to help you create a sign that maximizes visibility. Selection of materials, colors and illumination technologies is critical to promoting your business - let our experts craft the optimal sign design.

Yes, we specialize in creating illuminated signs for our clients. We are a UL electrical sign manufacturer and fabrication facility. We specialize in design and production of illuminated channel letters, monument signs and pole signs.

All custom business signs we create follow a similar process and workflow. The steps include consultation, survey, design, budgeting/quoting, project approval, permitting, fabrication, and installation. According to our experience, for non-illuminated signs, this process typically takes between three and five weeks. If an LED illuminated sign is your preference, or required by your property owner per lease sign criteria, the timeframe is generally longer—around six to eight weeks—due to extended fabrication times. These are general planning guidelines for new signage solutions.

It's important to note that outdoor signage has a significant impact on consumer perception. According to Forbes, two-thirds of consumers say outdoor ads affect how they view brands, and 46% link those ads to premium or high-quality brands. This underscores the value of investing in well-designed, high-quality signs that effectively represent your business.

Being prepared with a solid business branding guide, identifying brand colors using Pantone specifications, providing vector art files of your logo, and having a clear understanding of your landlord's requirements, as well as any city regulations regarding signage, can significantly streamline the process and help avoid unexpected delays or costs. We can assist you in navigating these conditions during the consultation phase to ensure your project is completed on time, on spec, and on budget as planned.

When a sign needs to be removed due to a business relocation, a good place to start is by understanding the property owner's expectations for the condition in which the storefront should be left. These conditions are typically outlined in lease agreements or discussed directly with the property owner. Some signs are simple tenant panels that can be easily changed or removed, while others are affixed to surfaces with fasteners and connected to electrical systems—requiring patching, painting, and sometimes electrical work. In some cases, the work may need to be completed during off-business hours to avoid conflicts with equipment access or customer traffic.

As a professional exterior sign company, we offer removal services that meet a wide range of property owner requirements. We can coordinate with facility or property management teams to ensure full compliance and help you avoid any risk to your lease deposit. According to our experience, removals can typically be scheduled within a week and are often completed in a single day.

Almost every sign can be restored or refurbished to operate properly. Illumination and electrical systems can be retrofitted to current energy-efficient LED systems, and failed sign parts can be replaced with new components to restore the sign to a safe operating condition. If the sign has broken or weathered faces, they can be refreshed with new faces and graphics, and neon replacement parts can be fabricated to repair failed neon signs. In some instances, a quick paint restoration is all that’s needed to improve the appearance of the business sign.

Interior sign companies like ours also specialize in restoring indoor signage to maintain a polished and professional brand presence inside your space. If the sign cannot be restored to a safe operational condition, we provide new signage solutions designed to enhance your business’s appearance and support your overall brand image.

A good place to start your sign project is to have a clear branding strategy and determine how signage will be a part of your overall business marketing plan. A business sign is a critical element in the visibility of your business. A well-designed sign can attract the clients and customers you want to reach, while a poorly executed sign plan can negatively impact your brand. Creating logos in vector file format, such as .ai, .pdf, or .eps, is essential. Selecting brand colors from the Pantone color specification system and establishing a clear communication hierarchy for your business will ensure your signage investment aligns with your overall marketing strategy.

As a professional business sign maker, we help you prepare for a well-executed signage plan during our initial consultation. Our goal is to ensure you get the highest value from your investment. We focus on helping you achieve the best possible visibility—no matter the budget—by choosing the right sign style, delivering great design, and meeting your business objectives.

Custom business signs vary widely in overall budgets, depending on the type of sign, whether existing sign fixtures can be reused, or if completely new fabrication is required. We can help answer this complex question by discussing a few key factors, such as your business location, branding, and goals for promoting your business. Our team is here to guide you through the options that align with your vision and budget.

Outdoor business signs require a business owner to obtain a permit. Each city and county has different business sign governance and codes that business owners must comply with based on the zoning for the property. In some metropolitan areas, design boards or committees have influence over sign design to ensure specific design and operational standards are met. As sign contractors in cities throughout Colorado, we assist in navigating code compliance for design, style, and engineering requirements for your business. Our project managers prepare all documents and file with property owners, city planning and development teams, and building departments to obtain all permits for the business signs. During the installation process, city building department officials may require inspections, and once installed, require a final inspection to confirm the sign meets all standards and close the permit. Our design and permit service packages include support for all of these requirements.

Business owners may apply for permits themselves. Specific documents are required, but they can be assembled by anyone with the proper information. However, most cities require a licensed sign contractor to "pull" the permit under their license for installation and final inspections. An experienced exterior sign company can guide you through this process, ensuring all requirements are met and that your project stays compliant with local regulations.

While there are optimal color combinations for visibility by the human eye, our approach is to start with your brand preferences, then introduce contrasting color, material finishes, design details, and geometries to optimize visual interest and create memorable impressions. Our consultations begin with a review of your business brand logo, communication priorities, and brand colors, assessing them in the specific environment where your storefront exists. From the customer’s perspective, we begin developing a signage solution and designs that result in optimal visibility of your business location.

For illuminated signs, color contrast and material selection are even more important, as lighting can dramatically influence readability and impact. The best color is one that defines your business—we add the right design elements to bring it to life and ensure it stands out, day or night!

The materials we use to fabricate commercial signs are top-quality and built to endure for many years. Our LED technology is energy-efficient and designed to last up to 50,000 hours. Graphic films feature UV protection to resist fading and weather damage. At Vision Visual, we apply the PPG Mathews paint system for priming, coating, and safeguarding your sign. With proper maintenance, signs can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years.

In most cases, if a sign is in good working condition, it can be relocated or repurposed from one storefront to another. However, the sign must comply with the city’s sign code for the new location—this may be possible, but the sign’s size, style, and design will need to meet all local and property owner requirements. Depending on its condition, many business owners choose to take the opportunity to enhance the sign by restoring any systems or finishes that require attention to improve its appearance during the move. If a sign is deemed unsafe to relocate, our team will recommend the appropriate steps to restore it or create a new signage solution suited for the new business location.

Illuminated channel letters are by far the most common type of business sign. They come in various styles—either front-lit faces or rear halo-lit letter shapes. These letters can be mounted on walls using two main methods: flush-mounted directly to the wall with electrical components installed remotely inside the building near the sign, or mounted on a raceway or wireway attached to the exterior wall that houses and conceals the electrical components. The right combination of faces, translucent films, LED modules, and paint finishes is essential to ensure your business sign creates the perfect impression.
