At Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Encinitas, CA, where ‘All Are Welcome’ we recently had the task to update and re-face some of their existing signs. Specifically, we updated the main property sign located on their main street corner. You can see their updated sign in the ‘AFTER’ image above as well as their old sign in the ‘BEFORE’ image below.

In addition to their main sign we also updated two smaller parking lot directional signs. You can see an example of one of them in the BEFORE & AFTER images below.

Last we replaced old handicapped parking signs with new ones like in the image below.
This project presented a small challenge in that we had a limited budget with which to work. Sometimes we have to get creative when working inside a limited budget in order to still get a great finished product. In this case we were able to work with the existing structure and simply re-surface their old signs to save cost on materials. For their main sign and directional signs we removed the old sign and cut them to a rectangular shape, which gives you the sense that they’re completely different, brand new signs. We cut the old sign posts to level the signs out to the height of the lower posts.
To re-face their existing signs we fitted them with aluminum panels on the front side of each sign with full color graphics printed on premium cast vinyl. We also added cast laminate on top which provides UV protection and helps to ensure a long life for the sign. After re-facing the front side of their signs we re-painted their existing posts and the back sides of all the signs with Hunter Green to match the look of their new design.
In the end we were able to give Bethlehem Lutheran Church a whole new face for the community with fresh new colors to correspond with the surrounding landscape. The Pastor was extremely pleased with the new look, and extremely pleased that we were able to keep everything within their budget.
