Mark your entrance with a sign built to impress and built to last.
Signs A La Carte helps businesses, communities, and institutions across the Greater Philadelphia region choose the right ground-level entrance sign from leading manufacturers. You get manufacturer-grade quality, local know-how, and one accountable team from the first sketch to the final concrete pour.
Your entrance sign is often the very first physical contact a customer, resident, or visitor has with your property. Sitting at eye level near the road, it catches drivers and pedestrians at the exact moment they’re deciding where to turn in.
A well-chosen ground sign helps you:
Eye-level placement near the driveway makes your entrance easy to spot and easy to reach.
Solid, architectural signage signals stability, quality, and professionalism.
Finishes can complement your building’s brick, stone, stucco, or landscaping.
Many municipalities favor low-profile ground signs over pole or pylon signs.
Add tenant panels, address numbers, or a digital message center for events and promotions.
It works around the clock for years, with no monthly media spend.
We’re not tied to a single factory. We source entrance signs from some of the best manufacturers on the market, and that works in your favor:
We match the product to your site, code requirements, and budget, not to one catalog.
Established manufacturers bring engineered structures, tested materials, and consistent finishes.
From economical foam-core systems to premium masonry-look and aluminum cabinets.
One local team manages ordering, permits, site preparation, installation, and service, so you never have to chase a distant factory.
Fabricated aluminum structures with routed or push-through graphics. Clean, modern and durable, they’re ideal for office parks, medical centers and retail.
Lightweight cores finished to look like stone, stucco, or brick, at a fraction of the weight and cost of real masonry. A favorite for HOAs, churches, and professional offices.
Traditional masonry bases paired with dimensional letters or sign panels for a timeless, high-end entrance. See our dimensional letter signs for lettering options.
Internally lit cabinets, halo-lit letters, or ground-mounted spotlights keep your name visible at night. For lit lettering, see our channel letters signs.
Built-in digital displays let schools, churches, dealerships, and retailers change messages, promote events, and share updates remotely, where local codes allow.
Modular panels for shopping centers, office parks and medical complexes, with easy panel changes when tenants move in or out.
Choosing and installing a ground sign involves zoning rules, underground utilities, foundations and often electrical work. We manage every step, so you can stay focused on running your business.
We review your site, brand and goals, then create a scaled mockup showing size, style, finish, lighting and placement on a photo of your actual entrance. You approve everything before anything is ordered. Learn more about our sign design service.
Freestanding signs are regulated by local zoning ordinances covering size, height, setbacks, sight lines and illumination. We research township and borough rules, prepare the drawings and submit the applications for you. See our sign permitting service.
Once your design and permits are approved, we place the order with the manufacturer best suited to your project and track production and quality all the way to delivery. Explore our sign production process.

A monument sign is a freestanding, low-profile sign mounted on a solid base at ground level, usually near a property entrance or driveway. It displays a business, building, or community name and can include lighting, tenant panels, or a digital message center.
The cost of a monument sign depends on size, materials, lighting, digital displays, site conditions, and permitting. A simple non-lit foam sign costs far less than an illuminated masonry sign with an LED display. Signs A La Carte provides a free, itemized quote after reviewing your site.
Yes. In most Pennsylvania municipalities a monument sign requires a zoning or sign permit, and illuminated models may need an electrical permit. Local rules often limit size, height, and setbacks. Our permitting service handles the research, drawings, and applications.
