Custom Entrance Signage, Designed & Installed by FASTSIGNS® of Allentown, PA

A monument sign does more than mark a location. It’s a permanent, ground-level statement that tells every driver and pedestrian who you are before they ever reach your door. At FASTSIGNS® of Allentown, PA, we deliver Monument & Free Standing Signs as a complete engagement: consultation, graphic design, fabrication, permitting support, and installation, all managed by one team.

Monument signs are sturdy signs made up of dimensional letters or a cabinet that often sits flush with the ground, anchored to a solid base rather than attached to a building. Pole signs and pylon signs extend that visibility higher, making them the right choice when a property sits along a fast-moving roadway and needs to be read from a distance. Whatever configuration fits your site, we handle the full process so you can stay focused on your business.

Increase Exposure & Make a Statement

Monument & Free Standing Signs work around the clock. Once installed, they’re visible to pedestrians and motorists in both directions, turning your property frontage into continuous, unmaintained advertising. That’s the core value of permanent exterior signage: it never stops working. Three benefits stand out for businesses considering this investment.

Provide Visual Impact
A well-crafted monument sign keeps brand identity consistent across the full property, from the entrance sign to parking lot markers and pylon signs. That cohesion between your signage and your building signs reinforces professionalism at first glance.

A Great Option for Advertising
Unlike digital campaigns or print runs, a freestanding sign requires no recurring spend after installation. It reaches people who pass the property throughout the day and night.

Weather Resistant and 24/7 Hours
Monument signs are built for Pennsylvania seasons. Whether illuminated or not, they can maintain visibility through rain, snow, and overnight hours.

Who Uses Monument & Free Standing Signs

These signs appear wherever commercial property identification matters: office parks, corporate campuses, shopping centers, hospitals, medical facilities, schools, and apartment or condominium complexes. Municipal buildings and houses of worship are also common applications throughout the Lehigh Valley.

Multi-tenant monument signs solve a specific challenge for retail centers and office parks by displaying multiple tenant panels on a single structure, so visitors can identify the right suite or storefront before they turn in. Pylon signs and pole signs serve businesses along high-speed corridors where a ground-level sign wouldn’t register in time. Signs can be illuminated or non-illuminated and can incorporate LED displays, digital message centers, or changeable letter sets depending on what the location demands.

The FASTSIGNS brand carries over 35 years of industry experience, and our Allentown team applies that depth locally.

Most commercial monument signs in Allentown require a permit before installation. Dimensional requirements, setbacks from property lines, and illumination rules vary by zoning district.

Monument Signs, Pole Signs, Pylon Signs & Pedestal Signs: Choosing the Right Type

The term “monument sign” is sometimes used broadly to cover any freestanding sign, but each type has a distinct profile suited to different site conditions. A consultation helps match the configuration to your property.

Monument signs sit flush or close to the ground on a solid base of brick, concrete, stone, stucco, or metal. They suit properties where a low, architecturally integrated look is appropriate.
Pole signs and pylon signs are elevated on one or more supports, putting the sign cabinet at a height readable from greater distances. These work best along high-speed roadways where ground-level signage would be missed.
Pedestal signs use a compact base that raises the sign slightly off the ground, offering a middle profile between a monument and a pole sign.

Two-sided signs are oriented perpendicular to the roadway so drivers from both directions can read the message. One-sided signs run parallel to the road and reduce fabrication cost when rear visibility isn’t a factor. Sightlines, traffic speed, and entry and exit point locations all inform which orientation and height make sense for a given site.

Materials & Design Customization

Monument and free-standing signs are fabricated from a range of durable materials, and the best designs reflect the architectural character of the building or campus they identify. Common materials include brick, poured concrete, concrete block, stone, stucco, metal, high-density urethane (HDU), and armored foam with a hard coat. Combinations are also common, particularly when a sign needs to match an existing structure.

Design elements available for integration include:

Illuminated sign cabinets for around-the-clock visibility
LED displays and electronic message centers for changeable content
Dimensional letters mounted to the sign face
Multi-tenant panels for shared-use properties
Custom colors, fonts, logos, and finishes matched to your brand standards

Weather-resistant materials and protective coatings are selected to hold up through Pennsylvania’s full range of seasonal conditions, extending the service life of the finished sign.

The Monument Sign Project Process in Allentown

A monument sign project moves through several defined phases. Knowing what to expect keeps the timeline on track.

Consultation & Site Assessment
We start by learning about your business, your goals, and your property. A site assessment informs placement recommendations based on sightlines, traffic patterns, and the location of property entry and exit points.

Design
Our graphic design team develops concepts that align with your brand identity and the architectural context of the site. Design documentation is also used in the permitting application.

Permitting Support
Most commercial freestanding signs in Allentown require municipal approval before installation. Requirements around sign height, setback from property lines, illumination, and other specifications vary by zoning district and are confirmed during this phase. We assist with preparing and submitting the application.

Fabrication
Once the design is approved and the permit is in hand, the sign is fabricated to the specified materials and dimensions.

Installation
Our installation team completes the final placement and anchoring. Monument sign projects typically span several weeks from design approval through installation, with permitting timelines and project complexity as the primary variables.
