Sign installation

Our cranes, our bucket trucks, our crew, installing what we fabricate and installing for others: national sign companies use us as their eastern NC install partner because we show up insured, documented, and on schedule.

What an install involves

SHEET 01 · SEQUENCE

Every job starts with a site survey (wall construction, power location, underground utilities, setbacks) because the survey decides the hardware and the price. Then permits (we file them), fabrication or receiving, and the install day: traffic cones out, crane or bucket up, sign set, hookup coordinated with your electrician, site cleaned.

The photos on this page are our crews: setting the MCCS structure at Cherry Point, hanging Candlewood Suites letters in New Bern, setting Carteret Health Care's pylon cabinet. Heavy work, done routinely.

  • Crane and bucket-truck fleet, operated by our own installers
  • Site surveys and permitting included on quoted jobs
  • Emergency response available. Call the shop
  • Service contracts to keep your image maintained year round
