Components of Quality Sign Installation
1. MATERIALS & FINISHES
A good sign should be made of sturdy materials like metal or plastic. Here are some examples:
Aluminum
Acrylic
Plexiglass
You’ll even see brick used in monument signs. Basically, you don’t want your sign to be made out of cheap materials because it can appear flimsy and be susceptible to damage given its exposure to the elements.
It is also important that your sign is finished well. Here are some examples:
All important electronics should be well concealed and safely labelled
Materials shouldn’t chip or crack
Films shouldn’t peel
If you do hire a sign company to complete your sign project, don’t be afraid to inspect your sign to ensure that it is finished well before erecting it.

2. LONGEVITY
A high-quality sign should also stand the test of time. If a business has been open for a while and has pictures of their work, you can get a sense of the quality of their work.
Years of experience usually means that a company has quality products that customers are satisfied with.
It may also mean the company has had time to find innovative ways to improve their work and their revenue to invest in high-quality equipment and technology.
Opt for lighting controls in your sign to make it stand out at any time.
3. SPECIAL FEATURES
Another clue that a company offers high-quality sign installation is if their signs contain special features. For example, they might include the following:
Replaceable slats
Electronic signs with programmable messaging
Timers (to adjust lighting according to sunup and sundown)
If the quality of a sign exceeds your expectations, that is a great clue that you are dealing with a high-quality sign company.
Make sure your sign is accessible and that you can manage it once installed.
4. ACCESSIBILITY
Another feature to consider is a sign’s accessibility. It should be easy to access or manipulate.
Here are some examples of when you want to access your sign:
If you have an electronic sign, you’ll want to have access to any special features like lighting controls or timers.
If your sign has messaging, you want to be able to control it, adding updates or new messages as needed, or turning it off temporarily so you don’t get give the wrong message.
Of course, some signs are out of our reach and require professional help for accessing and maintaining, but other signs should be easy to reach for regular cleaning and inspection.
