Lighted signs are one of the best to make your business stand out-whether night or day. At Legacy Custom Signs & Graphics, we want to take you through installing custom-made illuminated signs.
- Preliminary Consultation and Design
It starts with detailed consultation in view of understanding the needs and preferences of your business in terms of design. We would discuss size, style, and color schemes to make your sign a perfect match with your branding. During this phase, we also take into consideration practical considerations: power source, visibility, and local regulations.
- Acquisition of Permits
Most of the exterior signs in Highlands Ranch need permits aimed at meeting local regulations. We take care of these steps to ensure everything will be in order before any installation may take place. That is a pretty important step, and it will definitely save you from some legal headaches.
- Fabrication
Once we have finalized a design and acquired any necessary permits, we can begin the fabrication of your custom sign. The style of the sign will determine what materials and building methods are used. Each style of sign has various fabrication methods that may influence the installation method used.
- Installation: Key Differences by Sign Type
The type of installation depends very much on the kind of illuminated sign chosen.
Channel Letters: The channel letters are correctly positioned on the building surface, attaching points for the individual letters. In most cases, holes are drilled through the wall so that electrical wires run inside each of the individual letters to their LED components. The installation crew carefully installs the letters with a professional look in mind and the intended wiring hidden from view for a clean appearance.
Lightbox Signs: Lightbox signs are mounted by directly attaching the entire box to the wall or even the pole. The brackets used for mounting should, therefore, be strong enough to hold the box up and properly connect the electricity to light up the lights within. These signs have to be positioned carefully so the lighting on the face of the sign is correctly dispersed.
Monument and Pylon Signs: These signs need excavation to build a concrete foundation for anchoring the sign with a solid grip. Pylon signs are especially taller, and thus, the bottom needs further reinforcement to keep the base stable. When the structure is ready, illuminate the elements by wiring, testing and mounting them inside the frame.
- Testing and Final Inspection
We test all electrical components after installation to make sure that your sign lights up as it should. Further, the stability of the structure is checked, too, and adjustments are made if necessary. A final check will be carried out to ensure the sign is working as expected in compliance with local codes.
