Be the business customers see first, day and night. We design, permit, produce, install, and maintain illuminated (or not) storefront and building signs for businesses
Your exterior sign is often the first thing a potential customer notices about your business. And for drivers passing by at speed, it might be the only thing they see. Individually built, illuminated letters give your storefront a bold, professional presence that flat panels and banners just can’t match.
Well-built channel letter signs help your business:
Get noticed from the road. Dimensional, lit letters stand out against busy streetscapes and strip-center facades.
Stay open after dark. LED illumination keeps your name visible in the evening, through winter, and even in bad weather.
Look established. Custom letters signal a stable, invested business that customers can trust.
Protect your brand. Your exact logo shapes, fonts and colors, reproduced at building scale.
Save on operating costs. Modern LED modules use far less energy and need less upkeep than older neon or fluorescent systems.
Your storefront sign works 24 hours a day, every day, for years, with no monthly media spend.
Every building, landlord and brand is different, so we offer a full menu of options, “à la carte.”
Our most popular style, and for good reason. Aluminum returns with translucent acrylic faces lit from inside by LEDs, so the letter face glows in your brand colors. Perfect for retail, restaurants and service businesses that need maximum visibility.
Solid metal faces with LEDs shining back onto the wall, creating an elegant glowing outline. A premium choice for law firms, medical offices, salons and upscale retail.
Faces and backs both light up for a layered, high-impact look that really turns heads on busy commercial corridors.
Exposed LEDs or bulbs for a vintage, entertainment-style look, perfect for restaurants, bars, venues and boutiques.
Letters can sit on a raceway (a slim housing that holds the wiring and reduces wall penetrations, which landlords often prefer) or be mounted individually for a cleaner, floating look.
Love the dimensional look but don’t need the lighting? We also produce dimensional letter signs in aluminum, acrylic and PVC.
Most businesses end up juggling a designer, a fabricator, a permit expediter, an electrician and an installer. We handle all of it, so you can stay focused on running your business.
We start with your logo, your building facade, and your goals. Our designers produce a scaled mockup of your sign on a photo of your actual storefront, showing size, colors, lighting style, and mounting method. You approve everything before we build a thing. Learn more about our sign design service.
Exterior illuminated signs almost always need municipal approval, and many shopping centers have strict landlord sign criteria. We review local zoning rules, prepare the drawings, and submit the applications for you. See our sign-permitting service.
Your letters are built with aluminum returns, acrylic faces, and LED modules chosen for durability and even illumination. In the U.S., electric signs are expected to meet the UL 48 standard for electric signs and NEC Article 600 installation requirements, according to the International Sign Association. Explore our sign production capabilities.
Our installers use patterns and templates for precise letter placement and level alignment, with weather-sealed mounting. We coordinate the electrical connections and schedule around your business hours to keep disruption to a minimum. Read about our sign installation service.

Channel letter signs are three-dimensional, individually fabricated letters and logo shapes, usually made with aluminum sides and acrylic faces, and typically illuminated with internal LEDs. They’re mounted on a building facade to display a business name.
The cost of channel letter signs depends on letter height, number of letters, lighting style, logo complexity, mounting method, permits, and installation conditions. Signs A La Carte provides a free, itemized quote after reviewing your logo and storefront photo.
In most Pennsylvania townships and boroughs, exterior illuminated letters require a sign permit and often an electrical permit, and shopping centers usually require landlord approval. Our permitting service handles the drawings, applications, and approvals for you.
With quality materials, LED lighting, and routine maintenance, illuminated letters can serve your business for many years. LED modules and acrylic faces can be replaced individually, so you don’t need a whole new sign when one part wears out.
Front-lit letters glow through a colored acrylic face. Halo-lit letters have solid faces and shine light onto the wall behind them, creating a glowing outline. Front-lit offers maximum visibility; halo-lit offers a more upscale look.
Yes. LED-lit letters use far less electricity than neon or fluorescent lighting, generate less heat, and need less frequent service, which lowers the long-term cost of keeping your sign lit.
A raceway is a slim metal housing mounted behind the letters that holds the wiring and power supply. It reduces the number of holes in your wall and is often required by landlords. Direct mounting gives a cleaner look where the building allows it. It is usually painted with the wall color so it disappears to the eye of the viewer.
Yes. We work from your brand guidelines, including Pantone references, to match acrylic and vinyl colors as closely as materials allow, and we fabricate custom logo shapes, not just standard fonts.
In 99.9% of cases, no. While AI-generated images can look impressive, they usually aren’t ready to use as-is for production. The artwork will need to be refined by a graphic designer—either someone you work with or our team. If we handle those design revisions, a design fee will apply.
Customers can’t choose you if they can’t find you. Let our family-owned team design, permit, produce, install, and maintain channel letter signs that put your business on the map, day and night.
