Commercial sign installation in Southern California Done by our own crew, start to finish.

A good install starts before the truck shows up. Here is how we run a typical commercial sign installation:

• Site survey. We measure the wall, confirm the wall type, check for power at the sign location and note anything that affects access, like landscaping, parking or overhead lines.
• Approvals and scheduling. Once the permit and landlord approval are in place, we schedule the install around your business hours and the property's rules.
• Layout. We mark the sign position and drill pattern from the approved drawings, so the sign lands exactly where it was shown in your mockup.
• Mounting. The sign or raceway goes up with anchors suited to the wall, and every penetration is sealed.
• Electrical connection. Lit signs are connected to their circuit and tested.
• Cleanup and inspection. We leave the site clean and ready for the city's final inspection when one is required.

Many storefront signs go up in a single visit. Monument signs take longer because the concrete footing needs time to cure before the sign is set.

Signs fail at the install more often than in the shop. Water gets into an unsealed hole, a power supply sits where it overheats, or the anchors are wrong for the wall. We pay attention to the details that prevent those problems:

• The right lift. Two-story walls and high fascias need a boom or scissor lift on solid, level ground. We plan where it parks so customers can still get in.
• Anchors for the wall type. Stucco over foam, CMU block, concrete tilt-up and metal panels each need different fasteners.
• Raceways and wire runs. Wiring stays enclosed in the raceway or behind the wall, never loose on the facade.
• Power supply placement. LED power supplies go where they have airflow and can be reached for service.
• Sealing. Every penetration is sealed so water does not reach the wall cavity.

These steps take a little more time on install day. They save you from leaks, flickering letters and service calls later.

A lot of our installation work is part of a bigger project: a tenant improvement, a new build or a rebrand across several locations. We work with general contractors and property managers in Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange and Los Angeles counties to fit the sign work into the project schedule.

• New builds. We coordinate power, wall blocking and sign locations early, so the wall is ready when the sign arrives.
• Tenant improvements. We remove the previous tenant's sign, patch and paint the wall, and install the new one to the center's sign criteria.
• Rebrands. We replace faces, panels or full signs and reuse existing electrical where it is in good condition.
• Old sign removal. We take down outdated signs, cap the wiring and haul the materials away.

Because we design, build and install, you get one point of contact and one schedule instead of juggling separate vendors. Call 951-552-0709 to set up a site survey and a free mockup.
