Common Questions About Signs
This might not be the answer to everything, but these are some common questions asked by new business owners and sites that are inheriting legacy sign frameworks.
How do I use an existing sign but update it for my business?
Using legacy or existing sign frameworks will save you time and money. However, it is always best to let Southeast Signs, LLC do an appraisal of your existing sign setup, hardware, etc.
Will there be "codes," or things I need to address with my municipality, when it comes to the sign for my business?
Yes, in most cases, you will need to obtain a permit or "code" for a new business sign, as local zoning laws usually require approval before installing any signage on your property to ensure it meets size, design, and placement regulations; this means getting with Southeast Signs, LLC to act as your trusted advisor with your local municipality.
Are Southeast Signs, LLC channel letters a cost effective approach to a sign?
Yes, channel letters are generally considered a cost-effective approach to signage, as they offer a durable, visually appealing option with relatively low maintenance costs, especially when using LED lighting, making them a good long-term investment for businesses looking to attract customers with a prominent sign.
What's the best way to maintain outdoor vinyl signage?
It might be a little extra "elbow grease", but to properly care for vinyl outdoor signs, regularly clean them with a mild soap and water mixture using a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the vinyl; Southeast Signs, LLC usually works with you and a UV-resistant laminate is applied to protect the sign from sun damage, and regularly inspect for signs of wear and tear, particularly at the edges and attachment points.
How can I plan for weather and emergency conditions?
We take the time to meet with your operational teams, site/franchise managers or owners, and review your local codes to help you develop and emergency plan that helps you respond...rather than react.
What can I do for my sign assets to plan for extreme weather conditions?
Connect with Southeast Signs, LLC to prepare your business signs for extreme weather, choose weather-resistant materials like aluminum or stainless steel, apply a protective coating like a UV-resistant sealant or polyurethane, consider installing a canopy or cover for added protection, secure the signs with heavy-duty mounting hardware, and if possible, bring them indoors during severe storms

If your area is prone to even one forecast for a major storm, or is in an area that has a history or trend of seasonal thunderstorms; getting with Southeast Signs, LLC early will save you considerable time and resources -versus- taking action when it's to late.
