§ 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.

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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)
  4. 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.
