OUR PROCESS
In Baltimore County, MD
On-Site Consultation
One of our consultants will meet you on-site to gather necessary measurements or photos of your Mount Vernon, Edenton, or Cockeysville building. Identifying potential obstacles or challenges with your site, such as grass, overhead power lines, or uneven grade, is crucial as it impacts the sign design.
Our goal is to keep you informed from the start with this consultative approach. As your partner, we ensure that we align with your vision’s standards and set up your sign for long-term success.
Code Review
Every county and landlord has unique building codes that must be met. Our in-house permit specialist will investigate and gather information based on your Pikesville or Ilchester business’s location and zoning. If the envisioned signage complies with the code, we move to the design process.
If the code poses restrictions, requiring a variance or board of adjustment hearing, we gladly assist in navigating this process.
Design & Layouts
With building specifications and code requirements in hand, we proceed to design. You provide colors, logos, artwork, and details, and our designers create a conceptual mock-up for your review.
Our in-house design team collaborates with you to scale logos and designs or create new ones that align with your brand vision.
Budgets & Pricing
Based on the conceptual drawing, our estimating team establishes a budget/price for your review and comment. This phase allows us to finalize details and obtain approval to commence the sign-making process.
Throughout the project, your project manager will adhere to your budget and peace of mind.
Permit Procurement
Once you’ve signed your contract, our permit specialist initiates the permitting process, involving an application and detailed, to-scale drawings. These will be submitted to the Baltimore County municipality for review, approval, or feedback.
We manage and update you as much or as little as you desire.
Fabrication
Regardless of your sign’s design, needs, or scale, our experienced team ensures its realization with over 30 years of expertise.
Our staff includes sheet metal mechanics, CNC operators, welders, graphics applicators, paint finishers, and assembly members, equipped with the necessary tools to complete your project.
Our 20,000 square-foot facility in Wilmington, DE includes sheet metal shears, automated folders, CNC routing tables, automated channel letter making, steel and aluminum welding, a finishing/assembly department, and a full-sized paint booth in order to spray a two-part acrylic polyurethane finish.
Installation
Having worked with new and growing businesses in Baltimore County for years, we know the city, from Ellicott City to Middle River. We ensure the sign is put up right and put up fast.
Installation is performed by our skilled craftspeople and their helpers, utilizing our 22-piece fleet, including three cranes, eight bucket trucks, seven pick-up trucks, two flat deck trailers, one dump trailer, and one skid steer. At this point, it’s a matter of days or even hours before your sign proudly stands.
