Determining whether a professional sign installation company is worth hiring or not takes a little research. In this blog, AGC Signs will identify and answer the following 4 questions for you to consider when searching for a professional team to handle your signage.
Let’s review together the steps to finding high-quality signage solutions.
Ask yourself these 4 questions before hiring a professional sign installation company and discover that your research was well worth the time and effort.
Researching Professional Sign Installation Companies
1. Does the company have a gallery of past work?
When hiring someone to do work for you, it’s always a good sign when they can provide you with some proof of their past work and/or experience. Before investing in a signage company to help you market your business, search for an online gallery of their past work and browse through the examples.
Hiring a signage company is like hiring a photographer - you want them to be able to capture your business image perfectly and represent it professionally inside and outside of your business location.
AGC emphasizes your brand with coordinating signage inside and outside.
If you can’t find anything online, ask for some photos of past projects. Even if you don’t end up hiring the signage company whose gallery you preview, browsing their gallery will help you differentiate between design choices for your sign.
Take a peak at AGC’s galleries for proof that their signs are expertly designed and installed - or simply consider the professional quality of the signs displayed in this article.

2. Do they have good reviews?
Always check reviews before finalizing your decision. Even if the company you are considering is new, try to ask around for people’s opinions. According to Trustpilot, reviews are worth reading because they:
Offer us valuable guidance from people who've experienced a company’s services or products
Attest to a company’s reliability
Make it easier for us to decide about a company or product
With that in mind, here are some resources for checking reviews and testimonials:
Watch out for red flags, but be aware that some reviews are false. Don’t focus too much on specific details unless they are related to one of your concerns. For example, if you want a pylon sign, try to filter reviews to see if the company has successfully erected a pylon sign or not. If not, perhaps move on.
Reviews with photos from satisfied customers like this are especially helpful!
In general, just try to get an overall idea of how successful the company is and how well they deal with customers. Personally, I like to see how the company responds to customer reviews, especially the negative ones as it helps me assess how they might treat me.
A signage company’s online presence provides clues about their success.
3. Do They Have an Active Blog or Online Presence?
Established and experienced companies will have some sort of presence online. Here are some sites that a company may be active on:
By checking out a company’s presence online, you’ll get an understanding of:
What sort of work they do
The type of advice they give
Who they network with
The type of people they offer services to
You’ll likely stumble upon even more reviews and photos of their work by visiting any of their active profiles online.
AGC is a full-service professional sign installation company.
4. Do they offer other services?
When a company has experience with complete signage solutions, you know you can trust them with a project. They’ll know the whole process from beginning to end, what details are important to consider, and what pitfalls to avoid. Look for whether they offer services such as:
Sign Design
Help with Permits
Sign Manufacturing
Sign Maintenance
You can trust a company that offers multiple sign services because they will understand:
Steps to successfully completing and managing your sign project
Permits required
How to create a sign that reflects your image
How to manufacture a durable sign of lasting quality
How to install a sign safely
How to maintain your sign for years to come
When a sign company has a limited skill set, you may end up working with multiple companies which can result in miscommunication, delays and poor quality.
