FAQs

Quick answers to the questions Sacramento businesses ask us most about signage, printing, fabrication and installation.
How much do channel letters cost?

Channel letters typically range from $200 to $400 per letter depending on size, illumination type (front-lit, halo-lit, reverse-lit), face material and mounting. Most storefront installations fall between $3,500 and $12,000 including permits and installation.

Almost always, yes. Cities throughout Northern California require permits for monument signs, channel letters, illuminated signs and most exterior signage. America West Signs handles the entire permitting process — research, drawings, submittal and approvals.

Typical lead times are 3–5 weeks for channel letters, 4–8 weeks for monument signs, and 1–2 weeks for banners and printed graphics. Permitting can add 2–6 weeks depending on jurisdiction. We provide a firm production schedule with every quote.
 
Front-lit letters illuminate through translucent acrylic faces. Halo-lit (reverse-lit) letters mount off the wall and project a halo of light behind the letter. Reverse-lit/halo combinations and dual-lit options are also available.
Quality commercial LED modules are rated for 50,000–100,000 hours of operation — roughly 10–20 years at standard use. America West Signs uses commercial-grade LEDs backed by manufacturer warranty.

Most retail storefronts benefit from illuminated channel letters mounted directly to the building fascia. They offer high visibility day and night and are typically allowed by sign codes for retail use.
5052 aluminum, polycarbonate or acrylic faces, UL-listed LED illumination and powder-coat or automotive-grade finishes are the gold standard for long-lasting outdoor commercial signage.
For storefronts a 3’x8′ banner is a common starting point. For larger building or fence installations, 4’x10′ through 6’x20′ are typical. We help size based on viewing distance and code requirements.
Partial wraps start around $1,500, full wraps on a standard vehicle typically range from $3,500 to $6,500, and full wraps on box trucks or vans can range from $4,500 to $9,000+.
