Sign Repairs and Erection

Make Sure You Need Sign Repairs And Installations

First of all, we can help you with all of your sign repairs, installation and erection needs, but If you only have a problem with erection, you may be on the wrong page.

Yes, google may be tricky, but you don’t have to be a dick… a soft one for that matter.

But we can still make and install that sign in front of your building telling people what you do… Avoiding telling people that you have an erection problem.

Erection, in the language of sign installers, is the act of hanging the sign that was made, to its final prominent position.

The fact is that we do sign erection for many retailers.

They produce their signs and send them to us to be installed in their stores.

We do business as a sub to national maintenance companies, providing erection and sign installation and repairs to business like H&M, Staples, Petco, Walmart, Burlington Coat Factory, Westfield… you get the gist of it…

We can help you too!

A sign is a permitted structure, and that surprises people

Commercial signage looks like a purchase and behaves like construction. Most jurisdictions regulate it in detail, and the rules are separate from the building code.

• Size, usually tied to the linear frontage of the tenant space

• Height, placement and how far it may project

• Illumination, including brightness and hours in some zones

• Type: wall, blade, monument, pole, awning and window signage are frequently treated differently

• Number of signs permitted per business and per frontage

On top of that, a landlord's tenant criteria frequently restrict further than the city does, and a sign that the city approves can still violate the lease.

What the structural side involves

A sign is a wind load on a building or on a foundation, and the bigger it is the more that matters.

• Wall signs need attachment to structure, not to finish. What is behind the stucco decides the detail

• Monument signs need a footing designed for overturning, and on expansive soils that is an engineered footing rather than a hole

• Pole signs are the most demanding structurally and the most restricted by ordinance

• Illuminated signs bring an electrical permit, a circuit and a disconnect

• Anything over a pedestrian way brings its own requirements

Where vehicles can reach a monument sign or a pole base, protection is cheaper than the replacement: bollard installation.

Repairs, and the one that is urgent

Most sign repairs are cosmetic or electrical: failed lamps or drivers, water in the cabinet, faded faces, a channel letter that has stopped lighting.

One is not cosmetic. A sign with movement at its attachment, corrosion at the base, or visible deflection is a falling object over a sidewalk, and that is an immediate safety item rather than a maintenance item.

The situations that come up most

• A new tenant taking over a space and needing the previous sign removed and the facade repaired

• Rebranding across several locations, where consistency and permit timelines both matter

• Storm or impact damage, where the repair and the insurance documentation happen together

• A code enforcement notice about an unpermitted or non-conforming sign

• A landlord requiring removal at the end of a lease, including the facade restoration behind it

That last one is the item most often forgotten in a lease exit, and the facade repair behind a removed sign is usually larger than the removal.
