Are your company licensed and insured?
Yes! We are fully insured & Licensed. We take very seriously our responsibility with your business and all employees that work with Us.
Do I need a city permit?
Yes. Exterior signs require a sign permit. Interior signs normally do not. If you are upgrading to a new logo or simply updating your outdated sign face for your existing business and keeping your old location, you will likely not need a permit. Your local city or county building and planning department can answer this question with a phone call or a visit to their website. Sometimes the customer hasn’t the necessary time to do that. We provide this service for you at a reasonable additional Fee. Just call us for an estimate. (978) 983-0055
How long does it take to get a sign permit?
Same-day or up to one month or several weeks depending on the city requirements. This varies by city. Some cities issue permits “over the counter” meaning that if you submit an application that conforms to the sign code you will get your permit immediately. Other cities can take up to one month to issue a permit. If you are asking for permission to deviate from the sign code you can expect a variance request to take considerably longer than a conforming permit request. A variance request will cost more than a typical sign permit application submittal and is usually only issued when ‘hardship’ can be proved. The time it takes to get a permit is an important step in the process because most sign companies will not begin manufacturing your sign until they have a permit.
How long does it take to build my sign after city permit approval?
The length of time it takes to make a sign can vary depending on the materials, usage, and complexity. Our representative strives to meet your expectations on deadlines and turnaround time. While some projects may be ready in 24 hours, other projects make take longer to complete.
Can I use copyrighted images in my signage?
Yes, but only with permission from the owner. If you are not an authorized agent of the images, then a release from the copyright owner is necessary. We highly recommend using your own professional images that you take for your models, foods, office space, local business, etc…
How long will my sign last?
The expected lifetime of a sign depends on whether you place the sign or graphic indoor or outdoor. We use sign materials for short-term applications and also provide materials for long-term projects. Whether your sign needs to withstand the elements in an outdoor setting or needs to be located indoor, our consultants will work with you to determine the best solution for your needs.
