Custom Exterior Signage, Designed & Installed by a Local Team

Your building sign is working before a customer ever walks through your door. On a corridor like Veterans Memorial Blvd, where commercial businesses line both sides for miles, the difference between noticed and overlooked often comes down to your exterior signage. At FASTSIGNS® of Metairie, LA, we’re locally owned and handle every stage of a building sign project in-house, from the first design conversation through survey, permitting, and professional installation.

Building Sign Formats for Commercial Properties

The right sign format depends on your building type, how far away customers are when they first need to see you, and what your brand calls for. Here are the primary categories we work with:

Channel letters: Individually fabricated letters or shapes mounted directly to a building face. Available in lit and unlit versions, channel letters are a common choice for storefronts where each letter needs to stand out clearly.
Dimensional letters: Three-dimensional lettering and logo elements that add depth and a premium look to a building facade without requiring illumination.
LED lit signs: Energy-efficient illumination keeps your business visible after dark. Backlighting can be applied across multiple sign formats to extend visibility in low-light conditions.
Monument signs: Freestanding signs placed at street level or a property entrance, identifying your location from the parking area or the road before a visitor reaches the building.
Wayfinding signage: Directional signs that guide customers, visitors, and delivery services to the right entrance or section of a larger property.
Neon signs: A distinctive format for businesses where the aesthetic is part of the brand identity.

End-to-End Building Sign Service in Metairie

Most sign vendors hand off after production. Our team at FASTSIGNS® of Metairie, LA stays with the project through installation. We include graphic designers, visual communication specialists, and project managers, and survey and permitting is a service we handle directly. That matters in Jefferson Parish, where sign permits follow a separate approval track from standard building permits. We manage that process so you don’t have to learn it yourself.

The workflow runs from design consultation through online proof review, production, and professional installation. Clients review and approve their sign digitally before anything goes to production, which helps reduce surprises. We also manage building sign projects for clients with multiple locations, keeping branding consistent across sites while coordinating each installation locally. With over 35 years in the signage industry behind the FASTSIGNS brand, we have the resources to handle projects of real scale while still giving each client direct access to the people running their job.

What Building Signs Do for Your Business

Exterior signage serves four practical roles that directly affect how customers find and perceive a business. Understanding them helps you make a better investment decision.

Continuous visibility: A building sign is an always-on presence. It generates impressions for every person who passes your location, at any hour, without recurring media costs, making commercial signage cost-efficient in a way that paid advertising isn’t.
Wayfinding and access: First-time customers and delivery services need to find the right building, the right entrance, and sometimes the right section of a larger property. A clearly visible sign removes that friction before it becomes a frustration.
Brand identity: Exterior branding signals professionalism and permanence. A fully branded building sign communicates that a business is established and invested in its location.
Advertising value: Unlike digital or print campaigns, a building sign doesn’t stop running when a budget runs out. It’s a one-time investment that continues working for the life of the sign.

The effectiveness of any format depends on sizing and placement calibrated for how your audience approaches, whether on foot or by vehicle, and at what distance and speed.

The Building Sign Process at FASTSIGNS® of Metairie, LA

Here’s what a typical project looks like from first contact to finished installation.

Consultation & Site Survey

We start with a design consultation to understand your brand, your building, and your visibility goals. Before design is finalized, we conduct a site survey to capture accurate measurements, confirm mounting conditions, and establish the visibility angles that determine how the sign reads from the street. That survey informs both the design and the permit application.

Permitting in Jefferson Parish & Kenner

Metairie is in unincorporated Jefferson Parish, where sign permits are submitted through the Jefferson Parish Department of Building Permits on a separate track from standard building permits. Kenner, which we also serve, is an incorporated city with its own municipal permitting process. Both have specific requirements around sign dimensions, placement, and illumination. We handle permit submissions as part of our survey and permitting service, which helps avoid the delays and code issues that can arise when fabrication gets ahead of approval. Permitting timelines are set by the parish and city, not by us, but managing the process correctly from the start keeps things moving as efficiently as possible.

Design Approval, Production, & Installation

Once the permit is in process, you’ll review your sign design digitally and approve it online before production begins. After fabrication, our installation team completes the job on-site. For clients managing exterior signage across multiple locations, we coordinate each site individually while maintaining brand consistency across the full project.
