Frequently Asked Questions
Common concerns about our signage
01. Can you match our corporate Pantone colors exactly?
Yes. We use the Matthews Paint System (MAP) to color-match your brand guidelines precisely, ensuring your physical sign matches your digital identity.
02. Do you handle signs for multi-building campuses?
Absolutely. We specialize in rollouts—fabricating and installing consistent signage across multiple buildings or locations simultaneously to ensure brand uniformity.
03. What are the rules for signs on El Camino Real?
The El Camino Real corridor has specific Grand Boulevard design guidelines regarding sign height, setbacks, and materials. We review your specific address against these codes before design begins.
04. What are the typical sign project costs?
Project costs vary widely based on size, material, electrical needs, and permit fees. Lobby/Interior Signs: Typically range from $800 to $4,000. Channel Letters/Building Signs: Start at $4,500 and increase based on size and illumination. Monument/Pylon Signs: These complex projects start around $14,000 and include engineering costs. Contact us for a precise quote.
05. What is the difference between a monument sign and a pylon sign?
A monument sign is a low-profile, freestanding ground sign, typically with a solid base. A pylon sign (or pole sign) is a much taller, freestanding sign with a visible support structure, designed to be seen from a distance, like from a highway.
06. What is Wayfinding?
Wayfinding is a system of signs designed to help people navigate a complex space, such as a hospital, corporate campus, or retail center. It includes directories, directional signs, and identification signs (like ADA room numbers) that work together to guide a visitor.
