Types of Building Signs We Fabricate

Building signs aren’t one product — they’re a category, and the right choice depends on your brand, your building’s facade, sightlines from the road, and local sign code. Sign Systems designs and builds the full range in-house:

Channel letters

Individually fabricated, dimensional letters mounted to your facade. Front-lit channel letters glow through the face; reverse-lit (halo) letters cast light back onto the wall for a premium, architectural look.

Not sure which fits your storefront? That’s the consultation — we’ll walk the site, check sightlines and code, and recommend the option that gets you seen for the budget you’re working with. We serve businesses in Hickory, Asheville, Winston-Salem and across North Carolina.

Permitting, Fabrication & Installation — Handled In-House

Most sign delays don’t happen in the shop — they happen at the permit counter. A building sign typically requires a municipal sign permit, and many jurisdictions regulate size, square footage, illumination, and placement relative to your tenant frontage. Landlord and property-management approval is often a second gate on leased space.

Because we manage design, permitting, fabrication, and installation under one roof, you don’t coordinate three vendors or chase status updates. We pull and track the permits, fabricate to spec, and our own crews handle the install — including the structural and electrical detail that keeps an illuminated sign safe and code-compliant for the long haul. The result is a single accountable team and a predictable timeline from approved design to lit-and-live.

Need ground-level visibility too? Many storefronts pair a building sign with a monument sign or pylon sign at the street.
