One Team from Design Through Installation

A freestanding sign project involves more moving parts than most clients expect: site survey, design, city permit application, fabrication, and installation. We handle all of it in-house. Our team includes visual communication professionals, graphic designers, and project managers who coordinate every phase locally, so there’s no handoff between vendors and no gap in communication.

For businesses with multiple Franklin-area locations or properties across the country, our National Accounts capability keeps signage consistent across every site. Whether you’re opening one office park entrance or standardizing identification across a regional portfolio, we have the resources to scale with your project.

Franklin, TN Corridors Where These Signs Work Hard

Franklin’s commercial footprint spans several distinct areas, each with its own signage demands.

Key Commercial Corridors

Cool Springs and Carothers Parkway are home to major retail centers and corporate campuses where high-visibility pylon signs serve multiple tenants from a single structure. Maryland Farms is a dense professional office park environment where low-profile monument signs at each entrance help visitors navigate a complex of buildings. Berry Farms and newer Williamson County developments regularly need identification for newly constructed or leased spaces where no signage exists yet.

Multi-Tenant & Commercial Park Packages

Multi-tenant buildings and commercial parks often require coordinated exterior signage packages that satisfy landlord standards while giving each tenant clear identification from the road. We design and produce those packages, with every element working together visually and meeting applicable requirements.

City of Franklin Sign Permits for Ground-Mounted Structures

The City of Franklin requires permits for most commercial signs, including monument signs, pylon signs, and illuminated signs. Applications are submitted electronically through the city’s plan review portal, and the Zoning Ordinance governs placement, height, quantity, and sign characteristics to maintain a consistent streetscape and support traffic safety.

Permitting is where many exterior sign projects stall. Requirements vary by zoning district, and an incomplete application can add weeks to a timeline. Our Survey and Permitting service covers this directly: we assess the site, prepare the documentation, and submit the application on your behalf. You focus on your business while we move the project through the approval process.

Monument Signs vs. Pylon Signs: Choosing the Right Structure

Both sign types are ground-mounted and freestanding, but they serve different visibility needs. Understanding the difference helps you identify which structure fits your property before the design conversation begins.

Monument Signs

Monument signs are low, ground-level structures typically set close to the property entrance. Their solid base, often built from or clad in materials that match the surrounding architecture, gives them a permanent, anchored appearance. They work well for professional office parks, medical campuses, corporate headquarters, and any property where a refined entrance statement matters more than long-distance visibility.

Pylon & Pole Signs

Pylon signs and pole signs are elevated structures engineered for visibility from a distance, including from busy roads, intersections, and highways. Their height makes them readable well before a driver reaches the entrance. Multi-tenant shopping centers and commercial parks use pylon signs regularly because the structure accommodates multiple business names in a single cabinet, giving every tenant representation on one landmark sign.

Materials & Features for Freestanding Signs

Ground-mounted signs can be built to match nearly any property aesthetic. Common construction materials include aluminum, dimensional stone or brick cladding, and fabricated dimensional lettering. The right choice depends on the surrounding architecture, HOA or landlord requirements, and how the sign needs to perform over time in Middle Tennessee’s climate.

Illumination extends a sign’s working hours well past sunset, and we produce illuminated monument and pylon signs alongside other lit exterior elements like channel letters. For properties that want dynamic content capability, digital display components can be integrated into a monument or pylon structure, allowing messages, hours, or promotions to update without physical sign changes. Before fabrication begins, our team can walk you through what’s available and what’s permitted under Franklin’s zoning rules.
