Full-Service Building Signs from Concept to Installation

Most sign companies handle production and installation. We go further. Our team in Oshawa manages every step so you don’t have to coordinate between separate designers, permit agents, and installers.

Graphic Design
Our designers translate your brand identity into a sign that reads clearly at a distance and looks right on your specific building. Brand colors, fonts, and logo proportions are all accounted for before production begins.

Project Management
A dedicated project manager coordinates timelines, production, and installation from your first consultation through final sign-off. You stay informed without having to chase updates.

Survey & Permitting
Building-mounted signs in Oshawa may require a City permit, and our survey and permitting service can handle the application on your behalf. We know the local requirements, which can help keep your project on track and your sign compliant from day one.

Installation
Our installation team places and mounts your sign securely. The job isn’t done until the sign is up, level, and performing as designed.

What a Building Sign Does for Your Business

A building sign works every hour the business is open, and in many cases, long after it closes. Unlike digital advertising, there’s no ongoing spend once the sign is installed.

Creates awareness for all: Every person who passes your location sees your brand, with no recurring cost per impression.
Helps people find your location: A clearly visible sign reduces confusion for first-time visitors and removes the friction that can cause customers to abandon the trip.
Brands your business: A fully branded building sign signals permanence and professionalism to anyone approaching for the first time.
Commercial signs provide advertising: As a one-time investment, building signage generates impressions for the life of the sign, making it one of the lowest cost-per-impression formats available.

Sign Permits in Oshawa: What You Need to Know

Most building-mounted signs in Oshawa require a building permit from the City, submitted through the Oshawa Application Portal under Sign By-law 72-96. This applies to fascia signs, canopy signs, projecting signs, banner signs, LED message boards, and other common sign types.

If your property sits within 400 metres of Highway 401 or Highway 407, the Ministry of Transportation Ontario must approve the sign before the City building permit is issued. If your proposed sign doesn’t meet standard by-law requirements, a sign variance application is available through the City of Oshawa.

Our survey and permitting service exists specifically to handle this process. We assess your site, prepare the documentation, and submit on your behalf, so the permit side of your building sign project doesn’t fall on you to figure out.
