Frequently Asked Questions
Can you install signs on corrugated metal siding?
Yes. We engineer custom structural bracket systems that secure directly into the building's underlying steel purlins, preventing water leaks or panel distortion.
Do non-illuminated wall signs require permits?
Yes. Almost all West Michigan municipalities require sign permits for exterior wall signage to verify square footage limits based on your building's linear frontage.
What is the typical lifespan of an exterior wall sign in Michigan?
Our aluminum and acrylic wall signs are built for years of outdoor use in Michigan weather. We can share expected service life details with your estimate.
