On-Site Consultation
Our consultant will come to your Lancaster site to gather the necessary measurements and photos.

Our in-house expert on permits will delve into the regulations affecting your business in Lancaster, focusing on location and zoning specifics. Once we confirm that your signage project aligns with these codes, design work begins.
If not, and your sign faces regulatory obstacles, we will assist in navigating the process for a variance or a hearing with the board of adjustment.
We’ll help see this process through.
Design & Layouts
Armed with the architectural specifications and necessary codes, we transition to the design phase. Share with us your preferred colors, logo, artwork, and any additional elements, and our designers will create a preliminary mock-up for your approval.
Our design team is ready to collaborate closely with you, adjusting your current logos and designs or conceiving new ones to align perfectly with your brand’s vision.
Budgets & Pricing
After we’ve developed the initial design mock-up, our estimating department will prepare a detailed budget and price proposal for your evaluation and remarks. This phase is crucial for ironing out the finer points and obtaining your go-ahead to begin bringing your sign to life.
As the project progresses, your assigned project manager will vigilantly oversee the budget, ensuring the project remains within financial bounds for your complete reassurance.
Permit Procurement
Following the finalization of your contract, our permit expert will initiate the permitting phase. This process generally involves preparing and submitting an application accompanied by detailed, accurate drawings to the local authorities for their examination, approval, or suggestions for modifications.
Rest assured, we’ll oversee the entire procedure and update you according to your preference, ensuring you’re informed at every step.
