Finding The Best Sign Company
Do they handle permits?
One of the first things you will need to know before planning your signage is what permits are required. You don’t want to invest money and time into designing and erecting a sign only to pay more money in fines. Or worse yet, be forced to take your sign down.
The best sign company is one that can help guide you through all the legalities.

The best sign company will be one that is knowledgeable about what permits you need and how the laws work. Are you just getting started? Read Everything You Need to Know About Local Signage Permits by AGC.
How is their customer service?
This may seem like an obvious question to ask, and probably one you’ve asked yourself, but it is something a lot of people take for granted. Ask yourself:
Is this company truly listening to me?
Do they communicate well?
Am I being treated with dignity and respect? Are others?
Do I feel comfortable sharing my ideas with this company?
Are they dependable?
Do they keep their word?
Give yourself time to observe how staff members interact with their customers.

Take some time to get to know a company before signing a contract with them. You will probably have many phone calls and consultations, so it is best that you develop a good working relationship with them.
Do they have all the equipment?
Find out what sort of equipment the sign company you are inquiring about has or uses. You’ll want them to use the right tools for the job, whether it is during maintenance or installation. Find out if their technicians can service your sign even after it is installed. A light may go out or a safety check may need to be done, so your relationship with a sign company will go beyond just the initial design and installation.
Meet staff and read reviews to get a taste of working with that sign company.

What are their reviews like?
If you’re not one to read reviews, we suggest you start. Have a look at what other customers are saying about the sign company you are thinking of hiring for the job. What are their specialties? Are customers happy with the final product and the service along the way?
Read reviews from a company’s own website, but also check Google Reviews.

Do they have a capable website, branding, and a gallery?
If a company has good quality signage displayed on its website, branding that communicates effectively, and proof of the work done for other clients, chances are they will provide similar work for you.
When deciding on the best sign company, check their website for a photo gallery and browse their work. If they don’t have any samples of their work available on their website then ask them to show you some examples of signs they have designed and installed in the past.
Be hesitant to work with a company that can’t give you a basic quote.

Can I get a quote?
Your money is hard-earned, so you’ll want to know how much you’ll be spending on a sign. You’ll need a general quote to compare the prices of other companies and services. You’ll want to know that the company you are working with understands the market and has competitive pricing.
