You’ve decided it’s time for a new sign. Maybe your old one’s been through one too many storms. Maybe your business is growing, and that tiny banner just isn’t cutting it anymore. Or maybe—finally—you’re done with the DIY vinyl letters that keep peeling off.
Whatever brought you here, you’re ready for the real deal: a professional sign that commands attention and represents your brand like it means business.
But how does this actually work? Does someone just show up with a ladder and a drill? Is there paperwork? (Spoiler alert: yes.)
At Universal Signs USA, we’ve turned sign-making into a fine-tuned process. Here’s what the journey looks like—from the first phone call to the final bolt.
Step 1: Discovery & Consultation
This isn’t just about picking a font and crossing your fingers. We start with a conversation to learn what you’re trying to achieve. A rebrand? A new build? Increased visibility from the highway?
We ask questions, toss around ideas, and start shaping the plan—because a great sign isn’t just built, it’s strategized.
Step 2: Site Survey
Now we roll up our sleeves. Our team visits your location to take precise measurements, assess the mounting surfaces, check sightlines, and flag any potential obstacles (like a surprise power line right where your sign wants to be).
We’re not just visiting—we’re plotting victory.
Step 3: Design
Here’s where your vision starts to take shape. Our in-house design team turns your brand into a visual concept that actually works in the real world. We’ll mock up options, simulate how the sign will look in place, and make sure every detail—from lighting to finish—matches your goals.
This isn’t cookie-cutter. This is custom signage that fits like a tailored suit.
Step 4: Permitting
Ah, permits. The thrilling world of zoning codes, height restrictions, and municipal red tape.
Good news: we handle all of it. We’ll prepare and submit the necessary applications, deal with city inspectors, and make sure your signage is fully code-compliant. You focus on your business—we’ll handle the bureaucracy.
Step 5: Fabrication
Once approved, your sign enters our production floor. This is where raw materials become a permanent part of your brand identity.
Whether it’s channel letters, illuminated cabinets, or a 25-foot pylon sign, we craft every piece to meet our standards (which are borderline perfectionist, by the way).
Step 6: Installation
This is the moment everything comes together. Our install team arrives with the gear, the skills, and the game plan. We mount, level, wire, and secure—safely, efficiently, and always with attention to detail.
And if your sign lights up? Prepare for a little jaw-dropping once the switch is flipped.
Step 7: Final Review & Sign-Off
We walk the site with you, check every detail, and make sure you’re thrilled with the result. We’ll also share care tips and answer any final questions about maintenance, warranties, and service options.
Your sign’s not just up—it’s officially in business.
