HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I was in need of some graphics for a storefront at the Colorado Mills Mall and all it took was one phone call and these guys were onsite to take measurements, then onsite again the next morning to install. True professionals and who put an emphasis on customer service and quality.
Frequently Asked Questions About Vision Visual Custom Sign Company
Do you do LED retrofitting?
As one of the top LED sign shops around, we offer LED retrofitting services to update and modernize existing signage. Our services include inspection of existing structures and specifying the most economical and robust LED solution for your signs. Many systems are available to meet your needs of reducing operating costs, optimizing operations, and eliminating service and repair requirements.
Do you do mid and high-rise installation and services?
Our team is equipped to handle mid- and high-rise sign installation and related services. When things are just out of reach for our service trucks, we offer rappelling and swing stage services for removal, surface restoration, installation, and servicing of elevated signs.
Do you do in-house design?
Indeed, our company handles the entire process in-house, from initial design concepts to fabrication and final installation.
Do you do illuminated signs?
Yes, we offer a range of illuminated sign options to enhance visibility and impact for our clients' businesses.
What is the process for getting a business sign?
All signs we create involve a similar process and workflow. The steps are Consultation, Survey, Design, Budget / Quoting, Project Approval, Permitting, Fabrication, and Installation. For non-illuminated signs, this process can happen in a relatively short time frame - 3 to 5 weeks if an LED illuminated sign is your preference, or required by your property owner in your lease's sign criteria. The timeframe for the process is longer due to fabrication times - 6 to 8 weeks. These are general planning guidelines for new signage solutions. Being prepared with a good business branding guide, identifying and selecting brand colors using Pantone color specs, preparing vector art files for your brand logo, and having a clear understanding of your landlord's requirements and any city governance about sign allowances for your business location are always helpful before starting a sign project to avoid any surprises and unexpected costs. We can assist in understanding these conditions during our Consultation phase to ensure your project executes On Time, On Spec, and On Budget as planned.
How do I get a sign removed?
When a sign needs to be removed due to a business relocation, a good place to start is to obtain an understanding of what the property owner's expectations are for the condition of the storefront to be left in. These conditions are generally provided in lease agreements or discussed directly with the property owner. Some signs are simple tenant panels that can be changed or removed; other signs are affixed to surfaces with fasteners and have electrical connections, requiring patching and painting of the facade. In some instances, the work may be necessary to do 'off business hours' when there are no conflicts with equipment access and client traffic. We offer services to cover any property owner's requirements and can assist by working with any facility or property management to ensure compliance and avoid risk of impacting your lease deposit. Removals can generally be scheduled in a week and generally take a day to complete.
Can my existing sign be repaired?
Almost every sign can be restored or refurbished to operate properly. Illumination and electrical systems can be retrofitted to current energy-efficient LED systems, and sign parts that are failed can be replaced with new components to restore the sign to a safe operating condition. If the sign has broken or weathered faces, they can be refreshed with new faces and graphics, and neon replacement parts can be fabricated to repair failed neon signs. In some instances, a quick paint restoration is the answer to improving the appearance of the business sign. If the sign can not be restored to a safe operational condition, we provide options for new signage solutions that will enhance the appearance of your business brand image.
How do I prepare and plan for a sign for my business?
A good place to start your sign project is to have a clear branding strategy and determine how signage will be a part of your overall business marketing plan. A business sign is a critical element in the visibility of your business. A well-designed sign can attract clients and customers who want to visit your business, and a poorly executed sign plan can negatively impact your business. Creating logos in vector file formats - .ai, .pdf, or .eps file formats is critical. Selecting brand colors from the Pantone color specification system and having a clear communication hierarchy for your business will ensure your business sign investment is optimized in your overall marketing strategy. Helping you prepare for well-executed signage plans is something we focus on during our initial Consultation to make sure you obtain the highest value in your business sign investment. Our approach is to help you achieve the best visibility for your business, no matter the budget, using the right style of sign, great design, and meeting your budget objectives.
What do signs cost?
Custom signs vary widely in overall budgets, based on the type, whether existing sign fixtures are available to use, or whether completely new fabrication is necessary. We can answer this complex question by discussing a few questions about the business location, branding, and goals to promote your business. Call 720-328-6435 to speak with a sign designer today and explore opportunities to create visibility for your business.
Do I need a sign permit?
Outdoor signs require a business owner to obtain a permit. Each city and county has different business sign governance and codes that business owners must comply with based on the zoning for the property. In some metropolitan areas, design boards or committees have influence over sign design to ensure specific design and operational standards are met. As sign contractors in cities throughout Colorado, we assist in navigating code compliance for design, style, and engineering requirements for your business. Our Project Managers prepare all documents and file with property owners, city planning and development teams, and building departments to obtain all permits for the business signs. During the installation process, city building department officials may require inspections, and once installed, require a final inspection to confirm the sign meets all standards and close the permit. Our design and permit service packages include support for all of these requirements.
Can I obtain a sign permit for myself?
Business owners may apply for permits themselves. Specific documents are required, but can be assembled by anyone who has the proper information. Once the permit is filed, most cities require a licensed sign contractor to 'pull' the permit under their license for the installation and final inspections.
What color is best for a sign?
While there are optimal color combinations for visibility by the human eye, our approach is to start with your brand preferences and introduce contrasting colors, material finishes, design details, and geometries to optimize visual interest and memorable impressions. Our Consultations start with a review of your business brand logo, communication priorities, and brand colors, and assessing them in the environment in which your storefront exists. From the perspective of the customer, we start developing a signage solution and designs that result in optimal visibility of your business location to your customer. The best color is one that defines your business - we add the design elements to bring life and visibility to it!
How long does a sign last?
The materials we use in the fabrication of commercial signs are of the highest quality and last many years. LED technology is designed to last 50k hours and is energy efficient. Graphic films are UV protected to resist fading and weathering. Vision Visual uses the PPG Mathews paint system for priming, coating, and protecting your sign. Signs can last 10 to 20 years when maintained properly.
Can a sign be relocated?
In most instances, if a sign is in good operational condition, it can be relocated or repurposed from one storefront to another. The sign will need to comply with the city sign code for the new business location - this may be possible, but the sign size, style characteristics, and design will need to conform to all local and property ownership requirements. Depending on the condition, many business owners take the opportunity to improve the sign and restore any systems or finishes that need attention to improve the sign's appearance during the relocation process. If a sign is not safe to relocate, our team will recommend the necessary actions to restore it or develop a new sign solution that is proper for the new business location.
What type of sign is the most common?
By far the most common type of business sign is illuminated channel letters. They come in several different styles - front lit faces or rear halo lit letter shapes. The letters are fabricated to be mounted to walls using two different methods - flush mount directly to the wall with the electrical components mounted remotely on the interior of the building near the sign location, or mounted on a raceway or wireway mounted on the exterior wall surface that contains and conceals the electrical components. Unique combinations of faces, translucent films, LED modules, and paint finishes are extremely important to make sure your business sign makes the right impression.
Receiving and equipment for national rebranding programs?
We offer a wide range of services for national rebrand projects throughout Colorado. Our receiving hours are 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, but special arrangements can be made if necessary.

Our UL electrical sign facility provides the flexibility to provide fabrication support for any sign modification or improvements necessary. We use the LVS low VOC PPG Mathews paint system to finish any components to your client's specification. If the project is a high-rise or mid-rise building, we offer swing stage and rappelling services to access the sign location.
National sign program services?
We offer project management, site surveys, technical surveys, permit procurement and processing, and inspection services throughout Colorado for national sign programs.

If unique components or supplies are needed, we advise you of the specifics and return with the proper components to restore the operation of your sign.
