INSTALLATION & SERVICE
Sign installation, service & permits — managed start to finish
Servicing national sign companies and property owners since 1996. Our project managers handle everything from sign surveys and permits to crane sets and final inspections.
Sign installation
Building-mounted, pylon, monument and interior installs with fully equipped trucks. Code-compliant, first time.
Crane & bucket service
Crane and truck operators with decades of experience setting pylons, LED cabinets and high-rise signage.
Auger service & foundations
Engineered footings for free-standing signs, augered and poured on site — and the site left clean.
Permits & surveys
Sign surveys, recommendations, drawings, permits, review board meetings and inspections in MD, DC, VA and DE.
Electric sign service & maintenance
Stocked service trucks for outages, power supplies, ballasts and panels — plus scheduled cleaning and maintenance programs.
LED retrofits & parking lot lighting
Swap neon and fluorescent for LED to cut energy and maintenance. Parking-lot and security lighting repair and upgrades.
Fascia repair & painting
Restore weather- and sun-damaged fascia and paint so your storefront looks as good as your new sign.
