WHY IT MATTERS
Your storefront is unique. Your sign should be, too.
Your storefront sign works for you every hour of every day. It tells drivers and people on foot exactly where you are, and it shapes their first impression before they open the door.
We design storefront signs around your facade, your sign band, and your brand, not a template. Then we build and install them ourselves, so the sign you approved is the sign that goes up.
THE BASICS
What makes a great storefront sign?
A storefront sign is the main sign on the front of your building, usually mounted above the entrance or across a sign band. The best ones are easy to read from the street, sized for the building, and built from materials that hold up to East End weather year after year.
Four things we get right
Proportion
A sign that fits the facade instead of fighting it.
Materials
Aluminum, acrylic, PVC, or wood picked for weather and budget.
Lighting
Optional illumination so you stay visible after dark.
OPTIONS
Storefront sign options for your business
Dimensional Letters
Individual cut letters in metal, acrylic, or PVC mounted to the wall for a clean, premium look.
Channel Letters
Illuminated 3D letters with LED lighting inside. The brightest choice for evening visibility.
Panel Signs
Your design printed or applied to a flat aluminum or composite panel. Durable and budget-friendly.
Light Boxes
An illuminated cabinet with a printed face. Easy to update when your branding changes.

MAKE IT YOURS
Your brand, your rules. Customize every detail.
Rule of thumb
For every 10 feet of viewing distance, plan about 1 inch of letter height for comfortable reading. Signs seen from a road need larger letters than signs seen from a sidewalk.
- Size
- Sized to your sign band, facade, and viewing distance.
- Materials
- Aluminum, acrylic, PVC, composite panel, wood-look, and more.
- Colors
- Matched to your brand colors with paint, vinyl, or printed faces.
- Finish
- Matte, gloss, brushed metal, or textured finishes.
- Lighting
- Non-lit, front-lit, halo-lit, or external gooseneck lighting.
- Depth
- Flat cut letters to deep dimensional letters for stronger shadows.
INSTALLATION
How storefront signs are mounted
Direct Mount
Letters or panels are fastened straight to the wall with studs or anchors for a clean look.
Raceway Mount
Letters mount on a slim box that hides wiring. Ideal when wall access is limited or for rentals.
Backer Panel
Letters sit on a panel that mounts to the building, adding contrast and simplifying installation.
PRICING
What do storefront signs cost? Here’s what drives the price.
Every project is quoted for its size, materials, and location, so we don’t publish one-size-fits-all prices. Share a few details and we’ll send a clear, itemized quote before anything is made. No surprises.
What affects the price
- Overall size and number of letters or panels
- Material choice and thickness
- Illuminated or non-illuminated
- Mounting method and wall surface
- Installation height and equipment needed
- Permit and landlord approval requirements
- Removal of an existing sign
PLAN AHEAD
Plan ahead for permits and approvals
Most towns on the East End require a permit for a new storefront sign, and many landlords have their own sign rules. We take care of both.
- Check your lease for landlord sign criteria
- We prepare scaled drawings and a site photo mockup
- We submit the sign permit application for you
- Historic districts may have extra design rules
- Lit signs need a nearby power source
Tip: start the conversation a few weeks before your opening date so permits don’t hold up your launch.

GOOD TO KNOW
Questions about storefront signs? We’ve got answers.
Still wondering about something? or call 631.727.8311.
How big should my storefront sign be?
It depends on your sign band, your town’s sign code, and how far away people will see it. We measure on site and show you a mockup at real scale before you decide.
Do I need a permit for a storefront sign?
In most cases, yes. We prepare the drawings and submit the permit application, and we can work with your landlord’s sign criteria.
Should my sign be lit?
If you are open after dark or in a spot with evening traffic, lighting helps a lot. We can show you lit and non-lit options side by side.
What materials last best near the water?
Aluminum, acrylic, and PVC hold up well in coastal air. We choose fasteners and finishes that resist corrosion.
Can you remove my old sign?
Yes. We can remove the existing sign, patch the wall, and install the new one in the same visit when possible.
How long does it take?
Non-lit signs can often be ready in a few weeks. Lit signs and projects that need permits take longer. Your quote includes an estimated timeline.
