Custom Signs That Weathered The Storm

The past few winter storms managed to cause quite a bit of damage.  Some from high winds and others from ice.

If there is a lot of property damage we suggest putting your signage through your insurance claim, but if only your exterior signs need repair and no other property damage was done, then we think your best bet it to contact a sign company that specializes in SIGN REFURBISHING.  This will save you the cost of your deductible and the sign company can let you know if you are better off repairing or replacing the broken outdoor signage.

Exterior Sign Refurbishing

Many of our custom wood exterior signs show signs of finishing damage after seven to ten years because of winter storm damage. When that happens, visit our CONTACT US page and let our sign-makers know what needs repaired.  We are able to sand down most cedar signs, repair any checks in the wood and refinish the sign to “like-new” condition.  This means that the fixed sign receives a new life and it keeps another damaged sign out of the landfill. The longevity of sandblasted cedar signs make them a great choice as they provide dimensional signage that can stand the test of time, with very little upkeep required.

Signs That Are Damaged Beyond Repair

When a sign broken to the point of no repair, we suggest taking pictures of the broken sign and where it was placed and sending them to sales@sign-depot.on.ca to request a quote for a sign replacement. Your estimate will come with suggestions for the new sign and new fasteners that will stabilize the sign going forward.  This will assist you with your decisions about that sign and other signage for your establishment.

Once you have decided which option works best for your exterior signs and the signs are placed back on your building, your curbside appeal with rise significantly.
