Commercial sign installation across Washington and Oregon, from storefront channel letters to pylon signs, scoreboards, and turnkey ground-up projects with footings, engineering, permitting, and crane work.

WA & OR 04 Electrical Journeyman CCO Crane Certified CDL Licensed UL Listed Fab Shop

Professional Commercial Sign Installation

  • Footings to finish
  • Crane & rigging
  • Permits & engineering

We install commercial signs across Washington and Oregon, whether we built them or not. From storefront channel letters to multi-tenant pylons, we handle permitting, crane and rigging, and electrical tie-in so the finished sign is lit, compliant, and ready for business.

One-stop shop, no piecemeal stress. There does not have to be a pole, footing, or slab in place already. We can handle the full site package: utility locate when required, engineered drawings when the jurisdiction or structure calls for them, footing excavation, rebar, and concrete pour, then pole or structural installation and the sign design, fabrication, and install. You get one point of contact from dirt to a finished, lit sign instead of juggling excavators, concrete, steel, and electricians yourself.

We do a lot of sign takedowns too, when a business is going out of business, ending a lease, or rebranding and needs the old identity removed. We dismantle letters, cabinets, pylons, and related hardware safely and can coordinate crane access when the sign is elevated.

Our team is CCO Crane Certified and CDL licensed for large-scale and crane-assisted installations. We coordinate with property owners and general contractors, work to your timeline, and stand behind our install work with clear warranties.

What We Install

We install a full range of commercial electric and architectural signs. Common types we install include:

Electronic message centers (EMCs)

LED display signs for text, graphics, and video. Full install including power and controls.

Pylon and freestanding signs

Structural steel and aluminum signs. Greenfield or existing site, we can pour footings, set steel, and crane the cabinet. CCO Crane Certified.

Monument signs

Sign cabinets and raceways

Illuminated cabinets and raceways for channel letters. Mounting and wiring.

Relocation, takedown & removal

We relocate or reinstall existing signs. We also take down and remove signage when businesses close or vacate, channel letters, cabinets, pylons, monuments, and more, so the building or pad is cleared for the next tenant. Crane and electrical disconnect when required.

Flagpole installation & re-stringing

We install new flagpoles from foundation to finial and re-string new ropes (halyards) on existing poles. Bucket trucks and crane when needed so your pole is set safely and your halyard is reliable for years.

When the pole and cabinet are still sound but the finish is faded, the lighting is dim or outdated, or you’ve rebranded, we repaint the cabinet and frame, install new LED illumination and fixtures, and install new faces.
