How long does a channel letter sign take?

The fabrication itself is usually the shorter part of the project. Landlord approval and the city or county sign permit are what set the real schedule, which is why we start the permit package as soon as the design is approved.

Can you match my exact brand color?

Yes. Returns are painted to a specified color and faces use translucent vinyl or film matched to your brand standard. If you have a franchise sign spec, send it with your quote request and we will build to it.

Channel letters are the most common illuminated storefront sign in Texas, and they are the sign we build most. Each letter is fabricated on its own: aluminum returns, a formed acrylic face, LED illumination inside. The finished set mounts to a raceway or directly to the building. Done properly they read cleanly at highway speed during the day and hold their color at night.

Options

Ways we build channel letters.

The differences below change how the sign looks, what it costs, and how it is serviced later.

01
Front-lit channel letters
Acrylic faces with trim cap and LED illumination projecting forward. The most legible option after dark and the most common choice for retail centers.
02
Reverse-lit (halo) letters
Solid metal faces with light washing the wall behind the letter. Reads as a soft outline at night: the more restrained, architectural look.
03
Combination lit
Front and halo illumination in the same letter set, so the face and the halo both light. Used where a brand needs presence from two viewing distances.
04
Non-illuminated dimensional letters
Fabricated metal or acrylic letters without lighting, for interiors, lobbies, and buildings where the landlord or code will not allow illumination.
