The Davis buyers.
The businesses ordering building and monument signs in Davis cluster into a few recognizable groups. Restaurants, cafes and food business, churches, nonprofits and neighborhood groups, schools, boosters and youth sport chief among them.
Davis is a university town: campus organizations, a bicycle-and-downtown retail culture, restaurants, farmers-market and event activity, and research and agricultural businesses around the edges.
Student and campus groups order event banners, table signage, and shirts.
Building signage and re-faces, often the single most visible investment a restaurant makes, and the one with the longest permitting timeline.
Church and nonprofit building signage, monument signs and changeable-message boards.
Campus identification, marquee and facility signage, including lighted work installed by lift.
What it costs.
Building, monument and pole signs are quoted on the specifics (size, material, illumination, mounting and installation) rather than a flat square-foot rate.
Rigid panel work uses the posted material rates as a starting point (PVC $11, aluminum composite $13.50 per square foot), with fabrication, mounting and installation quoted on top.
We publish the whole list rather than quoting on request, which means you can budget before you pick up the phone, and the person calling in a panic gets the same number as the one who planned three weeks out. The full list is here.
Before you order.
Read the lease criteria before you design anything. Most commercial leases and nearly every shopping center specify permitted sizes, materials, illumination and sometimes colors, and a sign designed outside the criteria is a wasted round no matter how good it looks.
Re-facing an existing cabinet is usually far cheaper and much faster than a new one, and it often avoids a new permit entirely. If you’ve taken over a space that already has a lit sign, send photos and the cabinet dimensions before assuming you need to start over.
Getting building and monument signs from Davis.
Davis is west across the causeway on I-80: a straightforward drive, but plan it rather than counting on a last-minute dash.
Not same-day, and nobody honest will tell you otherwise. Fabrication, install scheduling and usually a permit sit between the order and the sign going up. If the drive is the awkward part rather than the deadline, ask about delivery when you place the order. It’s available on many jobs, though for a genuinely same-day deadline collecting at the counter is still fastest.
Questions we get from Davis.
Can you re-face an existing sign cabinet?
Yes, and it’s a common request when a tenant changes. Send photos and the cabinet dimensions; re-facing is usually far cheaper and much faster than a new cabinet, and often avoids a new permit.
Who deals with the landlord and the city?
You or your contractor pulls the permit and clears the landlord criteria. That relationship is yours. We build and install to whatever those documents specify, which is why getting them in hand before the design stage saves the most time.
How far is the shop from Davis?
About 19 miles. We’re at 1835 Fulton Ave, Sacramento, CA 95825, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with parking in front and more in the rear.
What if I’m not sure exactly what I need?
Then describe the problem rather than the product. Where it’s going, how long it needs to last, and when you need it. That’s enough for us to tell you which material and size actually solves it, including when the cheaper option is the right answer.
