Question 1

How fast do I get a price?

Accepted Answer

Within 24 hours of the site survey, guaranteed. Every estimate and proposal is free. For a simple wall sign or vehicle lettering we can often price from photos and measurements you send us.

Question 2

Do I need a permit, and will you pull it?

Accepted Answer

Almost every exterior sign on Long Island needs one, including replacing an existing sign with a different size. Nassau villages usually run design review on color, material and lighting. Suffolk towns focus on setback, height and sign area. We prepare the drawings and file for you, in the village, the town or NYC DOB.

Question 3

How long does the whole thing take?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward wall sign is typically two to four weeks from approval. Pylons and monuments run six to ten weeks because of structural and foundation review. Design review boards can add weeks, so we file early.

Question 4

My sign is half dark. Repair or replace?

Accepted Answer

If the cabinet and structure are sound, an LED retrofit usually costs a fraction of a new sign. LED also cuts sign power use by 60 to 80 percent, so most owners get the money back in lower electric bills. We check the sign and tell you honestly which way makes sense.

Question 5

What does a storefront sign cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the size, the lighting, your wall and what your town requires for the permit, so we price the real job, not a guess. Send a photo of the storefront and the address and we usually get back to you with a price within one business day, free.

Question 6

How long does an awning last?

Accepted Answer

On Long Island the fabric usually goes 8 to 15 years. Snow load, coastal salt air and summer UV are what shorten it. Fixed awnings should be inspected twice a year and retractables quarterly, and we can put those visits on a calendar for you.

Question 7

Do you work with property managers and franchise groups?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We maintain multi tenant pylons, directories and tenant panels across shopping centers and co ops, and we can put every location on one invoice with one point of contact.
