What we install
From auger truck to bucket lift, every install is engineered, permitted, and photographed for closeout. No "we'll figure it out on site."
Augered footers, engineered cabinets, and code-compliant primary electrical for high-visibility roadside identification.
LED-illuminated face-lit and reverse-lit letters mounted to raceway, wireway, or direct-stud per facade spec.
Aluminum, steel, and ACM fabrication for monuments, blade signs, and wayfinding. Built to engineered wind-load spec.
Lamp-outs, ballast swaps, face replacements, and re-anchoring. Dispatched on minimum-call rate with same-week response.
Approved installer support for Jones Sign, Federal Heath, Stratus, and other national manufacturers across SWFL.
Pre-storm mitigation retainers and 24/7 post-landfall response: secure, remove, document, and re-set with insurance-grade reporting.
How we run a job
On-site or remote-from-photos. We capture facade, electrical, access, and overhead constraints, then return engineered notes within 48 hrs.
Itemized SOW with crew hours, equipment, access multiplier, and permit allowance. No mystery line items.
Engineered drawings submitted to the AHJ. Fabrication runs in parallel where the permit timeline allows.
Photo-documented install, lighting commissioning, punch list signed on the iPad, and final invoice delivered same day.
Built for SWFL
Sarasota and Manatee counties carry some of the toughest wind-load and code requirements in Florida. Every install we hand off is engineered to FBC 2020, anchored to spec, and documented with the photos your insurance carrier and corporate brand team will ask for the moment a named storm enters the Gulf.
Ballpark estimate
Direction-of-magnitude only. Final price requires a site survey and engineered scope. Real estimates lock in once we see the facade.
