How a sign project works

Which city reviews your sign?

Sun Valley, North Hollywood and Van Nuys are in the City of Los Angeles. Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena review signs their own way. Send the address and we'll tell you which city reviews yours and what it usually asks for.

In the City of LA, permits for lit signs go only to a C-10 or C-45 licensed contractor. Our licensed sign-contractor partner files them, and we prepare the drawings.

Sign questions, answered

Still deciding? Call (818) 806-9006 or text a photo and ask.

What do you need from me to quote a sign?
A straight-on photo of the wall or storefront and the address. A rough size, your logo file and whether you want the sign lit help too. Not sure about any of it? Say so and we'll work it out with you.
Is the mockup really free?
Yes, for business-sign requests: one mockup and one round of changes per location. Extra rounds of changes are billed. There's no obligation to order.
Does my sign need a permit in Los Angeles?
In the City of Los Angeles, a new sign, a change to an existing sign, a lit sign and removing a sign usually need a permit. Changing only the face or copy of an existing cabinet usually doesn't. Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena have their own rules. This is general information, not an approval.
Who installs the sign and files the permit?
A licensed sign-contractor partner. We design and fabricate the sign, prepare the drawings and coordinate the work. Your quote lists the installer's CSLB license number.
How long does a sign permit take in LA?
LADBS says a sign pre-inspection normally takes at least two weeks, and regular plan-check submittals normally take 15 to 30 business days just to be assigned. Some department sign-offs can take longer. Signs that don't need a permit skip these steps.
How big can my sign be?
In most commercial zones in the City of Los Angeles, a tenant can usually have about 3 sq ft of wall sign for each foot of storefront. Channel letters can get 20% more area when the wall color behind them stays the same. Sign districts and landlord criteria can be stricter, so we check your address.
Does my landlord need to approve the sign?
Usually yes, and usually before the city. Ask your landlord or property manager for the building's sign criteria early. A mockup on a photo of your storefront is an easy way to show them what you plan.
How much does a business sign cost?
It depends on the size, whether it lights up, the materials, how it mounts and what your city asks for. Send a photo and the address for a real number for your building.
Can I visit the shop?

Three photos that help

  1. Straight on, the whole wall, from across the street.
  2. Closer, with a door in the frame. It shows us the scale.
  3. The existing sign or the mounting area, close up.

One photo is enough to start. For a lit sign, a night photo helps.
