But from our viewpoint it's like asking a builder, "How much for a house?"As we all know houses come in many different shapes and sizes. The price for a house will depend on a lot of variables such as how big you want it, how many rooms, how plain or fancy. The options are nearly endless and they all effect the price of the house.It's the same with signs. The size of the sign, the material it of which it is made, how plain or fancy and the type of installation required all contribute to the price. There are a lot of questions to be settled and options to be considered in order to arrive at a price.The fastest way to get to that price is for you to tell us what you'd like to pay. What your budget is for your sign. A lot of people are reluctant to do that. They feel it's like walking onto a car lot and asking a salesman, "How much for that car?", and the salesman takes a puff on his big cigar and responds with, "How much ya got?". Well, the problem with that is the car has a value as it sets there and it shouldn't matter how much you have to spend. That has nothing to do with the value of the car.But signs are different. How? Because unlike the car sitting on the lot there is no sign. You can't walk into a sign shop and buy a ready-made sign with your name on it. In that regard each sign is custom made to your specifications. The size, shape, colors, wording on the sign, design style all have yet to be determined. In order to arrive at a price the deciding factor actually is, "How much ya got?", or better worded as, "How much do you have budgeted for your sign project?".You see, you may give us all the particulars of what you want only to find that the final price is far more than you hoped to pay or perhaps far less than you thought it would be. At that point you may ask what we can do to bring the price down or what we could do to make a nicer sign if you were to spend a little more. Either way some of the work is wasted at that point as we missed the mark in guessing what your budget is. It actually creates more work for us and more time invested for you as we both go through the process.The best and most efficient way is for us to know your budget from the beginning. That way we can design a sign for you that gives the most bang for your buck since we now know what your buck is. We will eventually arrive at that point anyway but it's a lot quicker with less work and less appointments to start right out knowing what you want to spend.It makes sense with everything else we buy. We all have an idea of what we hope to spend for an item. If we're helping our teenager buy his or her first car most of us are unlikely going to make the Rolls Royce dealer our first stop.

How much for a sign?" or "How much would you charge to letter my truck?" are questions
we often get asked. But from our viewpoint it's like asking a builder, "How much for a
house?"
As we all know houses come in many different shapes and sizes. The price for a house will
depend on a lot of variables such as how big you want it, how many rooms, how plain or
fancy. The options are nearly endless and they all effect the price of the house.
It's the same with signs. The size of the sign, the material it of which it is made, how plain
or fancy and the type of installation required all contribute to the price. There are a lot of
questions to be settled and options to be considered in order to arrive at a price.
The fastest way to get to that price is for you to tell us what you'd like to pay. What your
budget is for your sign. A lot of people are reluctant to do that. They feel it's like walking
onto a car lot and asking a salesman, "How much for that car?", and the salesman takes a
puff on his big cigar and responds with, "How much ya got?". Well, the problem with that is
the car has a value as it sets there and it shouldn't matter how much you have to spend.
That has nothing to do with the value of the car.
But signs are different. How? Because unlike the car sitting on the lot there is no sign. You
can't walk into a sign shop and buy a ready-made sign with your name on it. In that regard
each sign is custom made to your specifications. The size, shape, colors, wording on the
sign, design style all have yet to be determined. In order to arrive at a price the deciding
factor actually is, "How much ya got?", or better worded as, "How much do you have
budgeted for your sign project?".
You see, you may give us all the particulars of what you want only to find that the final
price is far more than you hoped to pay or perhaps far less than you thought it would be.
At that point you may ask what we can do to bring the price down or what we could do to
make a nicer sign if you were to spend a little more. Either way some of the work is wasted
