Commercial signs are the permanent signs businesses rely on to be seen, recognized, and taken seriously. They need to look right, meet local codes, and hold up long-term. We provide full-service commercial sign solutions across Long Island and New York City, handling design, fabrication, permits, installation, and ongoing support so you don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors or worry about approvals.
What Are Commercial Signs?
Commercial signs are professionally built signs used by businesses, property owners, and franchises to attract attention and clearly represent their brand. Unlike temporary or small signage, commercial signs are designed to last, and they typically involve permits, inspections, and local regulations.
This is where most people get stuck. We regularly hear things like:
-
“I’m not sure what type of sign is allowed here.”
-
“The landlord approved it, but the town didn’t.”
-
“We just want the sign to light evenly and not look cheap.”
-
“I don’t want to redo this again in five years.”
A great commercial sign isn’t just about looks. It’s about choosing the right sign type, the right materials, the right lighting, and getting it approved the first time.

What are channel letter signs?
Do you install signs in NYC?
Yes! We install signs across all five boroughs of NYC as well as Nassau and Suffolk counties.
Can you help with permits?
Absolutely. We offer full permit expediting services so you don’t have to deal with the red tape.
How long does it take to make a custom sign?
Turnaround time can vary, but most custom sign projects are completed within 3–4 weeks from approval.
Instead of pushing a single sign type, we help you compare options based on visibility, budget, materials, illumination, and what will realistically be approved for your location.

Even energy efficient illumination and consistent branding, during the day or night.

Commercial Signs for Franchises & National Brands
Franchise and multi-location signage comes with extra pressure. Brand standards are strict, locations vary, and local regulations don’t always cooperate.
We help brands stay consistent while keeping projects moving, including:
-
Matching brand guidelines and specifications
-
Managing approvals across different towns and jurisdictions
-
Coordinating with landlords and property managers
-
Supporting rollouts, rebrands, and retrofits
If you’re trying to keep multiple locations consistent, we can help you simplify the process.
Permits, Zoning & Local Code Compliance
Permits are one of the biggest reasons commercial sign projects get delayed or rejected. Requirements can change from one Long Island town to the next, and New York City adds another layer of complexity.
Not every sign company is experienced with permitting, and some only address approvals after the design is complete. That’s when projects stall. We review local requirements early and design with approvals in mind, which helps prevent rejections, redesigns, and unexpected costs.
Common considerations include:
-
Sign size and height restrictions
-
Illumination rules
-
Placement and projection limits
-
Building and mounting requirements
-
Zoning limitations and special districts
By handling approvals before fabrication begins, you avoid the headache of rework after the fact.
