Finding a Full-Service Sign Company
“AGC Graphics was a pleasure to deal with. They were clear in communication, quick to book a date to measure, gave tons of options, and followed up as it was required but above all else, their price was so competitive. I am beyond happy with my new sign and I love it. I’ll have AGC Graphics do my exterior sign next on my building. Very satisfied with their team and would recommend without question.”

1. Reviews
This step in the research process is pretty intuitive for many, but don’t forget to read reviews. When researching a potential sign company, scan for good reviews as well as bad reviews.
Here are some places you can check for reviews:
The Company’s Website
You can search by using Ctrl F and inserting specific keywords to see what people are saying about the different steps in creating a sign. Try searching keywords like:
Design
Manufacturing
Installation
Service
For example, you can see what people are saying about the company’s design skills or how the company performed when installing another client’s sign.
You’ll gain helpful information about other client’s experiences by reading reviews and you can also look for any red flags along the way.
More sign selection usually means a company has more experience.
2. Sign Selection
Below are some questions to ask when considering the sign selection of potential sign companies for hire.
Do they have a good selection of relevant signs?
Another step in your research is to ask if the sign company you are considering has a good selection of relevant signs. If they make a variety of signs, chances are they have more experience in the signage industry.
Some of the most popular signs you’ll see on the market include:
You may also be looking for Development Signs, Construction Hoardings, Murals, Banners, Awnings, Vehicle Graphics and other Custom Signs!
Do they have a gallery on their site?
Check a company’s website for any galleries they may have that offer examples of their work. By viewing images, you can better gauge the quality of the signs a company makes. If their past projects are proudly displayed, you’ll know they’ll take pride in completing your sign project too.
Is there evidence that they're good at making multiple types of signs?
First, check a company’s gallery to see if they have evidence that they’re good at making signs; however, if a gallery doesn’t have an example of the type of sign you are looking for, ask them. Contact the company directly and ask them if they have constructed the type of sign you are looking for. If they have, ask them for some images of their work.
You can also ask around to see if any other people in your network have had the company do any work for them.

Don’t settle for the minimum - find a company that offers multiple services!
3. Supplementary Services
Finally, when searching for a sign company, find out all the services they offer. The more services they offer, the less time and money you will likely need to spend in getting your sign project completed. A full-service sign company should offer the following basic services:
Design
Manufacturing
In addition to these basic services, you’ll also want to check if the sign company you are considering offers any supplementary services like:
Aid with Permits
Sign Maintenance
Having a company who offers these services will make the process more enjoyable for you. It would be ideal if the sign company you choose to work with offers to help you apply for any required permits before you start your project and then provides maintenance of your sign after your project has been completed.
For example, AGC will handle your permit applications, the sign design and manufacturing process, as well as the installation. Plus, they have all their own equipment so you know they are taking full ownership of your project! Your work won’t be sent back and forth between other companies to complete, so there will be fewer delays and less chance for mistakes or miscommunication along the way.
