Material Guide

How to choose the right lobby sign build

Most smaller B2B buyers do not need a fabrication lesson. They need a practical way to decide what kind of sign fits the wall, the budget, and the impression they want the space to make.

Guide_01

Acrylic or painted builds

A good fit when you want a clean reception sign with controlled cost, lighter weight, and a crisp finish for offices, clinics, and tenant suites.

Guide_02

Metal or dimensional letters

Use these when you want more permanence, sharper edge detail, and a stronger architectural feel in the arrival space.

Guide_03

Illuminated signs

Best when the lobby needs more presence or lower-light visibility. They require more coordination, so wall conditions and electrical access matter early.

We wanted the lobby to feel intentional without overbuilding it. AGS gave us a sign that matched the millwork, felt right for our scale, and made the space look finished the moment people walked in.

How We Work

How We Work

01

Review the wall

expand_more

We look at dimensions, photos, access, and mounting conditions so the first quote reflects the actual site instead of a guess.

02

Match the finish

expand_more

We recommend materials that fit the brand standard and the room — metal, acrylic, paint, vinyl, or illumination — and can share samples when needed.

03

Fabrication

expand_more

We fabricate the core sign package in-house in San Francisco and keep quality control close from approved drawings through finished production.

04

Install

Our installation crew handles mounting, leveling, and site protection, and works to the window that fits your project schedule.

Common Questions

FAQ

Still have a question? Call us at 415-610-SIGN.

01. What materials work best for lobby signs?

add

The right material depends on the wall, the brand tone, the viewing distance, and the budget. Brushed aluminum and painted metal read as premium and corporate. Acrylic works well for clean, contemporary interiors at a lower cost. Illuminated options add drama but require electrical coordination. We'll walk you through the trade-offs.

02. How long does a lobby sign take?

add

Many lobby signs take 4–6 weeks from approved artwork to completed installation, but the timeline depends on size, finish, lighting, and site conditions. Let us know your move-in or launch date and we’ll tell you what fits the window.

03. What does a lobby sign typically cost?

add

Simple dimensional acrylic or painted signs start around $2,500–$5,000 installed. Brushed metal or illuminated lobby features typically run $5,000–$20,000+, depending on size, complexity, and finish. We'll give you a range before committing to a detailed quote.

04. Can the lobby sign be tied to the rest of the interior sign system?

add

Yes — and it should be. The lobby sign establishes the visual standard for room IDs, directories, and wayfinding throughout the space. We design it as an anchor piece for the broader sign family, not a stand-alone object.

05. What if the wall we want isn't ideal for mounting?

add

This comes up constantly. Drywall over metal stud, concrete, glass, and millwork all require different mounting approaches. We assess the substrate before proposing a build and factor mounting hardware into the fabrication plan.

06. Do you do illuminated signs that require electrical work?

add

Yes. We fabricate illuminated signs and coordinate the electrical rough-in with your electrician or GC. For existing spaces, we work with the building's electrical contractor to add the necessary circuit before install day.
