Located at 500 North Park Vista in Anaheim, the Park Meadows Apartments offer attractive spaces and amenities close to shopping and transportation hubs. A pet-friendly community, this facility also features a clubhouse, a fitness center, and short-term leases to qualified renters. Beautifully landscaped, the only fly in the ointment was an old post and panel sign that doubled as a monument.

Refresh Your Apartment Complex Sign in Orange County, CA

The apartment community’s management team contacted our professionals to discuss a signage makeover. We visited the location and noted that the sign, with its wooden backdrop and dated white dimensional letters, reminded of the 1970s rather than suitably brand this modern complex. In fact, when discussing the makeover with the team, we learned that this sign was indeed two decades old. [caption id="attachment_956" align="aligncenter" width="600"] This old sign just wouldn't do![/caption] To keep the post and panel look intact, which looks great in this setting, but bring the sign into the current century and offer the opportunity to display the management’s telephone number for prospective tenants, we suggested the use of marine plywood. Taking medium density overlay (MDO) panels imprinted with a modern display of the “Park Vista” name and the phone number, we painted the edges to match the sign’s exterior frame. The posts our technicians used for the installation were pressure-treated. Doing so ensures that they will not rot but last as long as the sign itself. The panels underwent a UV-protective laminate treatment, which not only enables the marker to withstand the harsh rays of the California sun, but it also makes cleanup of the product a snap. With the modern appearance and attractive lettering, this sign now brands the atmosphere of the apartment complex and adequately communicates the fact that this is a modern community.

We visit your property during our consultation to get a good feel for the neighborhood and the setting. Doing so also lets us inventory the signs that you already have as well as the condition that we find them in at the time. When a sign is still in great shape, we tell you. If a sign is too far gone to be revived with a makeover, we outline that, too. The most efficient apartment complex sign makeover for Orange County, CA, properties involves a brand message change. For example, if the signage you had installed a while ago highlighted the neighborhood appeal, but you have since renovated the amenities and units, which now presents you with a new marketable angle, it can be a good shift in direction to highlight the modern facilities. It is a common misconception that you have to redo each and every sign on the property. Sometimes, the onsite signage is timeless. Examples of such signage include metal apartment numbers or imprinted aluminum wayfinding signage. The signs that usually do call for a refurbishing are monuments and building signs.
