Sizing for the road
Display size and character height matched to how far away people read it and how fast they are driving.
Why an EMC
One sign for every announcement
Churches, schools, and fire districts post something new almost every week. An EMC lets your staff update the sign from a computer instead of a ladder and a box of letters, and it stays readable day and night.
We handle the whole job in-house: sizing, the permit, the electrical, the structure, and the install. Many cities set rules on brightness, message hold time, and motion near roads. We work those rules into the design before anything is ordered.
Already have a monument or pole sign? We will check whether the existing structure can carry an EMC section before you pay for a new one.
What we handle
Permits
Sign and electrical permits, plus engineered drawings when the city asks for them.
Build and install
Cabinet, structure, and wiring by our own crew. WA and OR 04 Electrical Journeyman on staff.
Warranty
1-year labor, 5-year LED, and 2-year power supply coverage.
Scoreboards too
Schools can pair an EMC out front with gym and field scoreboards. See scoreboard installation.
Service after install
We repair and maintain what we install, and what we did not. See EMC details.
How much does an EMC sign cost?
It depends on the display size, the pixel pitch, full color or single color, and whether we can use your existing structure. Call (360) 225-6826 or send photos of your site and we will give you a free estimate.
Does our city allow electronic signs?
Many cities in Washington and Oregon allow them, with rules on brightness, how long a message holds, and motion. Some residential zones limit them. We check your city's code and handle the permit.
Can we keep our existing sign?
Often, yes. If the structure and footing are sound, we can add an EMC section and new faces. If it needs to be replaced, we will tell you plainly.
