Before a sign goes up, there are a lot of questions that need answers. What kind of sign do you need? Where will it go? What materials will hold up best? Does it follow local code? That’s where sign consultation comes in, and it’s one of the most important services we offer.
At Grand Rapids Sign Company, we don’t just make signs. We help businesses make smart, informed decisions about signs that will serve them well for years. Whether you’re opening a new location or giving your space a fresh look, our consultation services are here to guide you.
Understanding Your Business and Your Goals
Every sign tells a story. But to tell the right one, we need to understand yours. That’s why we begin with a simple conversation. What do you want your sign to accomplish? Are you trying to bring in more walk-ins? Strengthen your brand presence? Improve how people move through your space?
Once we know your goals, we’ll walk through your options. We’ll talk about different types of signs like channel letters, window graphics, monument signs, or indoor displays, and help you determine what fits your needs best.
Site Visits Make a Difference
Sometimes, we recommend coming out to your location. Being on-site helps us get a better sense of layout, visibility, lighting, and foot traffic. We can take measurements, look at mounting surfaces, and spot any challenges that could affect design or installation.
This visit helps prevent issues down the road. And it gives us a clearer idea of how to make your sign stand out while working with your space.
Helping You Navigate Permits and Local Rules
In Grand Rapids, there are specific rules for signs. If your project involves anything outdoors, chances are you’ll need a permit. That process can get confusing if you haven’t done it before. We’ll walk you through it.
We stay up to date on local regulations, from size restrictions to lighting guidelines. Our team can handle the permit paperwork and make sure your sign is ready for approval.
Honest Advice You Can Count On
Over the years, we’ve helped businesses across many industries. From restaurants and schools to clinics and corporate offices, we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. We bring that experience to every consultation.
We’ll recommend materials that hold up in Michigan weather, layouts that read clearly from a distance, and designs that reflect your brand. No upselling. Just useful guidance based on real-world results.
