Questions For Philadelphia Sign Installation Companies:
Q: Do they offer ongoing sign maintenance or sign repair services for the new signage after installation?
A: Yes! KC Sign & Awnings guarantees our quality of work and wants to make sure your sign project stays looking great for as long as possible. We offer warranties on our signage as well as emergency repair services when you need it.
Have an aging or broken sign? Even if we didn’t manufacture it, we can fix it! With professional refurbishment and retrofitting services, we can make your old sign look like-new again.
Q: Will the sign installer provide the necessary permits or do they expect you to do that?
A: We know how difficult it can be to get the right signage permits, especially if you’ve never done it before. That’s why KC Sign & Awnings provides permitting services. We’ve completed thousands of sign projects throughout the Delaware Valley region and know Philadelphia sign regulations like the back of our hands.
We’re familiar with sign regulations for cities, suburbs, and rural areas in:
- Pennsylvania
- New Jersey
- Delaware
- Maryland
You stay focused on your business; we’ll get the permits you need.
Q: How familiar are they with your state, county, or city ordinances regarding signs?
A: We consider ourselves to be extremely knowledgeable when it comes to sign permits. From clients in small towns to national franchises like Rita’s, Domino’s, and Philly Pretzel Factory, we’ve become very familiar with the process of getting the proper signage permits regardless of the state or county we are in.
Based out of Aston, PA, we have been serving the Delaware Valley for over 20 years! Are you located in the region and need a sign? We can get the sign installation permits you need.
Q: In preparation for a sign quote, what process will the installer undertake to do a thorough sign survey of your property first?
A: One of the first things KC Sign & Awnings does when surveying a site is determine what kinds of signage you’re permitted to have by your township, city, or landlord. We’ll look at zoning ordinances in your area, check the allowed width and height of your sign, and check whether or not you’re permitted to use illuminated letters. As mentioned before, we can also handle the process of acquiring permits and seeking variances if necessary.
The next step of sign consultation is taking pictures and measurements of your building. We’ll identify any access issues that could interfere with installation. For instance, if you want an electric sign, will we be able to run wiring to it? Are there any obstructions like pipelines?
We’ll work within the confines of your zoning restrictions and the limitations of your property to create the most eye-catching and creative sign we can! Don’t worry—we don’t see any of these factors as limitations.
Q: Can the sign contractor prove that all their workers sent to your property are legally allowed to work in the U.S.?
A: Yes, KC Sign & Awnings is a family owned, American business. All of our employees are legal citizens who are properly trained and certified in sign design, manufacturing, and installation. We don’t outsource our sign manufacturing or installation. Everything is done in-house, so we can guarantee all the work we do follows your city and state regulations.
Q: How well does the sign company know the installation crew coming to your property? Are they using trained, long-term employees, or do they use temporary labor on a project-by-project basis?
A: All of our employees are long-term, well-trained individuals who help in creating amazing sign projects for our clients. Our employees have a wide range of skills with degrees in design and certifications for sign manufacturing and installation. All of our Delaware Valley clients have access to our in-house services.
For customers or national franchises that need signage outside of the Delaware Valley, we are willing to partner with trusted sign installation companies who can guarantee the same level of courtesy and customer satisfaction that we provide.
Q: Does the sign contractor have active workers’ compensation and general liability insurance for your protection?
A: KC Sign & Awnings has all required worker compensation and liability insurances to help guarantee that your sign project will go smoothly. We don’t cut corners or sacrifice quality to lower costs. We’re upfront with everything from our certifications to our quotes.
