Types of Building Signs We Offer

We design and produce a wide range of building signs so you can choose the format that best fits your brand, building, and budget. Every sign is customized to incorporate your logo, brand colors, fonts, and graphics for consistent brand visibility.

Channel letters: Channel letters are individually fabricated three-dimensional letters that are mounted directly to your building facade. They are a popular choice for storefront signage and professional offices that want clean, bold visibility.
Backlit signs and LED lit signs: Backlit signs and LED lit signs help your message stand out in low-light conditions and extend the working hours of your sign well past sunset. They are ideal for businesses that operate into the evening or want added impact from a distance.
Neon signs: We offer neon signs for brands that want a classic, eye-catching look with vibrant color and personality.
Dimensional letters: Dimensional letters add depth and a premium feel to both building exteriors and interior lobby walls. They are a strong choice for offices, medical facilities, and institutional buildings that want a polished, professional presentation.
Directional signage: Directional signage helps guide visitors from the street or parking area to the correct entrance. Clear wayfinding reduces confusion for first-time visitors and improves the overall experience of visiting your business.

We can place building signs on one or multiple sides of a building to maximize visibility from key sightlines and high-traffic approaches.

How Building Signs Help Your Business

Effective building signs do more than label your location. They play a key role in how people discover, locate, and perceive your business day after day.

Create everyday awareness: Building signs put your name in front of pedestrians and drivers who pass by, even if they are not actively searching for you. Over time, this repeated exposure builds familiarity and keeps your business top of mind.
Help customers find you: A distinctive, easy-to-read sign is a crucial location marker, especially for first-time visitors following map directions in Asheville, NC. Clear signage helps customers confirm they are in the right place as they arrive.
Strengthen your brand: Fully branded building signs communicate identity, permanence, and professionalism. Before anyone steps inside, your sign signals the type of experience they can expect from your business.
Provide ongoing advertising: Unlike digital ads or direct mail, your building sign continues working without recurring media costs. Once installed, it delivers long-term visibility and value as part of your broader marketing mix.
