Your 3rd-Generation,
C-45 Licensed Partner
For over 68 years, AGS has been the Bay Area's trusted partner for commercial signage. We're not a broker; we are a C-45 licensed #1032267 fabricator with an in-house team. From one lobby sign or storefront refresh to a larger interior or property project, we keep design, permitting, fabrication, and installation under one roof.
Sign Design, Permitting & Installation
Site Survey & Field Verification
We review the wall surface, substrate, backing conditions, and any structural or electrical requirements before proposing materials.
Drawings & Blueprint Planning
We review drawings, room lists, and finish schedules to define the sign family before production starts.
Design & Permit Coordination
For scopes that need it, we produce fabrication-ready artwork, coordinate permit packages, respond to plan check comments, and track approvals through the finish line.
In-House Fabrication
For work we fabricate, our San Francisco shop gives us quality control and schedule flexibility that keeps production tight.
Install Crew & Field Execution
Our installation crew handles mounting, leveling, and site protection while coordinating with the GC and live jobsite schedule.

01. What kind of projects are a good fit for AGS Signage?
AGS is a strong fit for lobby signs, interior signage, ADA signs, wall and window graphics, and other commercial sign projects that need design, fabrication, and installation aligned under one team. That can mean one office suite, one clinic, one storefront, or a broader set of sign needs.
02. Can AGS help if the design is not finalized yet?
Yes. Many buyers start with site photos, a rough room list, or a target install date instead of a finished design. AGS can help define the right sign types, materials, and code constraints before fabrication starts.
03. What should I send to get a quote started?
Photos, rough dimensions, a room list, a target install date, drawings, or a logo file are all useful starting points. You do not need everything finalized for AGS to give you a practical next step.
04. Do I need a permit for my sign?
In many Bay Area cities, yes. New exterior signs, illuminated signs, replacements, and some repairs need permits. AGS handles permitting and code review so the sign is planned correctly before fabrication starts.
05. What are the basic requirements for ADA-compliant signs?
California ADA signs usually need Grade 2 Braille, tactile text, proper mounting height, and compliant contrast and finish choices. AGS helps buyers handle those details without turning the job into a separate compliance project.
06. What is "Wayfinding"?
Wayfinding is the group of directories, room IDs, and directional signs that helps people move through a space without guessing. It matters most when visitors need to get from entry to suite, room, or destination clearly.
