Storefront Signs

Complete shopfront identification packages — fascia, window, projecting and entrance signage coordinated as one scheme.

A storefront is rarely one sign. It is a fascia, a set of window graphics, a projecting blade for pedestrians, opening hours on the door and often a rear or parking-side panel. Handled piecemeal these end up mismatched in colour, typography and quality. Handled as one package they read as a single, deliberate frontage.

We scope the whole shopfront at once: survey the elevation, check what the landlord and municipality allow, and put forward a coordinated scheme with a single set of drawings and one install visit.

What a package usually includes

  • Primary fascia sign — channel letters, illuminated cabinet or dimensional lettering
  • Projecting blade sign for pedestrian sightlines
  • Window graphics: logo, services, opening hours, privacy banding
  • Entrance door vinyl and any required regulatory decals
  • Rear or lane-side identification where the lease requires it

Working with landlords

Most BC retail leases include a signage criteria document specifying permitted materials, illumination type, maximum coverage and mounting method. We work to that document from the start and prepare the submission package the property manager needs — which avoids the expensive scenario of fabricating something that then gets rejected.

Why it works

Benefits of storefront signs

One coordinated scheme

Fascia, windows and blade sign share typography, colour and finish instead of drifting apart over three separate orders.

Landlord criteria handled

We read the lease signage criteria and design to it, then prepare the submission the property manager requires.

A single install visit

The whole package goes up in one coordinated visit, which keeps disruption to trading hours to a minimum.

Fast-track options

For new openings under time pressure we can stage the work — vinyl and temporary signage first, illuminated fascia when the permit lands.

FAQ

Common questions

If your question is not answered here, get in touch — we are happy to talk through the detail.

A modest package with vinyl window graphics and non-illuminated lettering can start in the low thousands. A typical illuminated channel letter fascia plus blade sign and window graphics for a standard retail unit generally lands in the mid five figures. We itemise everything so you can stage the spend if you need to.

Window graphics and non-illuminated signage can often be produced and installed within two weeks. Anything illuminated or projecting normally needs a permit, which is the long pole — we commonly install temporary vinyl on day one so you can trade while the permanent fascia goes through approval.

We prepare the drawing package to the criteria and submit it on your behalf if you would like us to. The lease relationship stays yours, but we deal with the technical back-and-forth and any revisions the property manager asks for.

Yes, and we usually recommend it happens in the same visit. We remove the old signage, make good the fixing holes, and dispose of the material responsibly. Some leases make removal your obligation at the end of the term, so it is worth checking.
