How long does it take to make a custom sign?

Project timelines vary depending on complexity and permitting. Most custom signs take several weeks from design approval to final installation. Simple signs may be completed faster, while large monument signs or illuminated channel letters that require permits can take longer. We provide a clear timeline during your consultation.
