Renovating Existing Monument Signs in New Providence, NJ

Monument signs increase your company's visibility to passing traffic. Besides that, they establish a professional appearance that sets the customer's expectations for what they might find inside. Of course, if your sign is out of date, weathered, or otherwise no longer brand-centric, you lose this benefit. This is where our team comes in: renovating existing monument signs in New Providence, NJ.

Sign Renovation Versus Replacement

For most clients, their monument signs are structurally sound. The problem is that they are visually outdated. Renovating existing signs is a budget-friendly way to modernize the display. The foundation, masonry, and overall footprint remain intact. That said, if the sign's structure is problematic, a complete replacement makes more sense.

There is another benefit to renovating a sign rather than replacing it entirely. New Providence's zoning and sign ordinances are stringent regarding signage height, placement, and square-footage restrictions. However, your sign may be grandfathered into current rules even if it does not meet the latest requirements. Renovating the sign keeps grandfathering intact; replacing it requires adherence to new regulations.

The Most Common Signage Renovation Upgrades

What do clients ask us to do when upgrading their monuments?

• Refinishing. Stones, bricks, and concrete bases last for decades. However, they need occasional refinishing with paint and sealers. It is even possible to change the color palette.
• New sign faces. By far the most common request during a signage renovation project is replacing the product's face. This is typically the case after a rebranding or when the original sign is weathered. We had an opportunity to collaborate withBerkeley Meadows on redoing their monument with atwo-sided, carved sign face.
• Illumination. Some clients use landscape lighting to create impressive shadow play with dimensional lettering or logos. Others prefer built-in LEDs that switch on automatically when it gets dark. If you are still using old light bulbs that get hot after several hours of use, we can retrofit your sign to use new, energy-efficient bulbs.
