    This is a business related sign that would go out front of a company and or on the company's building.....


    Thanks for any help,

    I'm actually having a building sign made right now. I'm working with High Tech Signs on Heights. Hightech Signs

    I haven't seen my sign yet, so I can't tell you whether I'm pleased with the work yet. However, I've been pleased with the service so far. Taking a while, because they had to order a larger pan sign material.

    I can tell you that I originally went to Sign-O-Rama on Durham. Talked to someone at the front desk who could have cared less about my business. E-mailed for more information, and never heard back. Interesting way to run a business. Needless to say, they didn't get mine.

    Don't forget your sign permit!

    HighTech Signs does my business related vehicle and tool enclosure sign work (except total van wraps).

    They engrave my equipment labels.

    They do all my Ferrari Art Cars..

    They do my charity racing team cars, all these years....

    So, that "+4" for Hightech Signs (unless you count the engraving idividually then it would be in the millions)...

    In the showroom (one block north of Washington on Heights) they have many examples of exterior signage....to pick from.

    Good folks.......

    As a followup:

    Turns out I had to drop High Tech Signs. They are not a licensed sign installer. I knew this, but they told me they could install the sign that I needed. I found out that was incorrect, and that I had to get a sign permit, but then I was told that wouldn't be a problem, and that I could apply for the permit myself. I went to the sign permit office, and found out since I wasn't having a licensed sign installer do the install, that I would have to have an engineering survey done ($$$$).

    I canceled my order (which High Tech was glad to do, and to their credit, did apologize profusely and offered alternatives), and went with United Sign Alliance on Washington. They came in with a cheaper estimate, faster turnaround, and are a licensed sign installer.

    I feel sad, to have cost you some time.

    They only do vehicles for me, (and interior signage) so I had not had that problem.
    I'm very sorry.
