Your building introduces your business before anyone walks in, and the sign on it does the talking. Altair Sign & Light has been building that introduction for Metro Atlanta companies for more than 20 years, from single storefronts near our Smyrna shop to venue work at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena and SunTrust Park.

We handle commercial signage from first sketch to final inspection. Design, in-house manufacturing, permitting, installation and ongoing service all sit under one roof, so one team answers for the finished sign instead of three vendors pointing at each other.

Commercial signs for every part of your property

Most properties need more than one sign, and a single project usually mixes exterior identification, interior direction and a few smaller pieces people only notice when they are missing.

• Exterior identification. Channel letter signs, building wall signs and pole signs carry your name at street distance and at highway distance.
• Office building signs. Lobby logos, suite plaques, directories and floor identification. Office building signage is read from a few feet away, which is a different design problem from a sign read from 200 feet away.
• Interior signage. Indoor signs cover wayfinding, department markers, ADA room identification and branded wall graphics.
• Multi-tenant signage. Tenant signs and directories for shopping plazas, medical parks and office campuses.
• Large format work. Big signs for business parks, distribution centers and highway frontage sites, including high rise signs on the tallest buildings.
• Illuminated and digital. LED and electronic signs for businesses that change their message often.

The signs commercial buildings need are rarely decided one at a time. We look at the whole property first, then recommend what actually earns its place.

Commercial sign design that fits the building you have

Good commercial sign design starts with three limits: how far away people read the sign, what the facade can physically carry, and what the local sign ordinance allows. Settle those and the creative work has something solid to stand on.

We design from your existing brand, your architecture and photographs of the site, then produce scaled renderings so you can see the commercial business sign on your own building before anything is cut. Because we fabricate in house, what you approve and what gets installed are the same thing.

Material choices follow the same logic. A brushed aluminum panel suits a professional office. A backlit channel letter set suits a tenant fighting for attention in a busy plaza. Commercial retail signs facing a parking lot need different illumination from a monument sign at a corporate entrance.

Complete commercial sign services

• Permitting — Altair keeps a full time permit expediter in house. Metro Atlanta is dozens of jurisdictions with separate sign codes, and permitting is where most commercial signs for business owners lose weeks.
• Manufacturing — Fabrication happens in our own shop, which keeps quality and timelines in our hands.
• Installation — Our installation crews handle crane work, electrical connection and site cleanup.
• Repair and maintenance — Sign repair, LED and lamp replacement, and property management programs for owners with many locations.
• Lighting — Commercial lighting and LED retrofit work, often done alongside a sign project.

Labor and materials both carry a warranty.

Business signs Atlanta companies rely on

We build commercial business signs for the full range of property: offices, retail, restaurants, gyms, hotels, schools, medical suites and industrial sites. If your project is storefront focused, our retail signs page goes deeper on shop signage, and restaurant signs covers hospitality.

FAQs

How long does a commercial sign project take?

Most projects run six to twelve weeks. Design and approval take one to three weeks, permitting is the longest and least predictable stage, and fabrication and installation follow once the permit is issued.

Do I need a permit for signs for commercial buildings?

Almost always, yes. Nearly every Metro Atlanta city and county requires a permit for exterior commercial building signage, and rules on size, height and illumination differ between them. We pull permits as part of the project.

What does a commercial sign cost?

It depends on size, illumination, materials and how the sign is mounted. A set of interior suite plaques and an illuminated pylon sit at opposite ends of the range. We quote each commercial building sign after seeing the site and the specifications.

Can you match signage to our existing brand standards?

Yes. National and franchise brands usually supply a signage standards document, and we build to it. For local businesses without one, we work from your logo files and keep the result consistent across every sign on the property.

Do you service signs you did not manufacture?

Yes. We repair, relamp and maintain existing commercial signage regardless of who built it, and we also handle sign removal when a tenant moves out.

Can you handle multiple locations at once?

Yes. Multi-site rollouts are a regular part of our commercial sign services, and our property management programs are built for owners and managers running signage across a portfolio.
