§ Process · How we work
Four steps.
Zero surprises.
Every project — a $300 banner or a $30,000 monument sign — runs through the same four stages. Here's exactly what to expect, when to expect it, and what you'll get at each stage.
- IDay 1–3
Consult
We meet (in person, on-site, or over a quick call), walk the storefront or vehicle, study the brand and get clear on the goal. You leave with a scope, a realistic timeline and a fixed-fee quote.
You receive
- Site visit / measurements
- Scope + fixed quote
- Material recommendations
- IIWeek 1–2
Design
Concepts mocked up on a real photo of your storefront or vehicle — not a flat artboard. Two rounds of revisions included; we keep iterating until it's right.
You receive
- Photo-realistic mockups
- Color + material samples
- 2 revision rounds
- IIIWeek 2–4
Fabricate
Built in our Bloomington shop — CNC routed, printed, laminated, wired and quality-checked. Nothing leaves the bench without sign-off from the install lead.
You receive
- In-house production
- QC sign-off
- Permit drawings (if needed)
- IVWeek 3–8
Install
Permitted, licensed and insured crews. We protect the site, install on-pattern, clean up, and walk you through care before we leave.
You receive
- Site protection
- On-pattern install
- Cleanup + walkthrough
- Care instructions
§ Principles
How we keep it honest.
Built in-house
Design, print, route, weld, wire and install — all under one roof.
Fixed quotes
Your quote is the price. If we miss something, that's on us — not a change order.
Real materials
Cast vinyl, UL / ETL listed components, aluminum returns. We don't compete on the cheapest sticker.
Built to last
Premium cast vinyl, UL / ETL listed components and proven install techniques — built to hold up to Central Illinois weather.
Most projects start with a 15-minute call.
