OUR PROCESS
In Middletown, DE
On-Site Consultation
One of our consultants will meet you on-site to take any necessary measurements or photos of your Middletown building. They will also identify any obstacles or challenges with your site, along with possible solutions. Typically, we look for accessibility to the sign’s current or future location. If there’s grass, overhead power lines, or uneven grade, that will affect the sign design.
Our goal is to keep you up-to-date from the start with this consultative approach. You’re our partner, and we want to make sure we’re meeting your vision’s standards and setting up your sign for long-term success.
Code Review
Every township and landlord has unique building codes that have to be met. Our in-house permit specialist will investigate and gather the information based on your Middletown business’s location and zoning. If the signage you’ve envisioned is allowed by the code, we’ll move to the design process.
If the code does not allow your sign for whatever reason, a variance or board of adjustment hearing will be required. We’ll gladly help see this process through.
