CONSIDERATIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL Sign maintenance
How often should signs be checked?
Short answer: at least once a year. Longer answer? It depends. If your sign is outdoors, lighted, or in a high-traffic area, you’ll want to inspect it more regularly every 6 months is a solid baseline.
That gives you time to spot small issues before they become big ones. Indoor signs? They’re lower maintenance but still worth checking. Dust, fading, or even peeling edges can sneak up on you.
What’s actually included in sign maintenance?
It’s not just wiping it down and walking away. We look at structure, surface, lighting, and safety. That might mean replacing a burned-out bulb, tightening loose panels, repainting faded sections, or refreshing vinyl graphics that are starting to bubble.
For electrical signs, we’ll check wiring, clean inside the housing, and make sure everything lights evenly. If your sign’s been through a stormor a long summer, it’s a good idea to take a closer look.
Can old or damaged signs be fixed instead of replaced?
In many cases, yes. A sign might look tired, but that doesn’t mean it’s done. We can reface monument signs, swap out panels in tenant directories, or give your lighted sign a fresh LED upgrade. A scratched acrylic lobby sign? Often fixable.
A faded wall graphic? We can reprint just the section that needs help. Replacement isn’t always the answer. Sometimes, it just needs a smart update.
What about lighted signs? Do they need more attention?
Absolutely. Anything with bulbs, wiring, or internal components needs routine care. One flickering letter makes the whole sign look off. We check power sources, ballasts, transformers, and LEDs.
We clean the lenses, check for water intrusion, and replace any part that’s underperforming. And if you’re still using older tech? Now’s a great time to consider a retrofit. LEDs run cooler, last longer, and make your sign pop after dark.
Do businesses have to maintain their signs?
Sometimes, yes. Some cities, including parts of the Phoenix metro, have ordinances requiring signs to be in good repair. Property managers may also include sign standards in tenant agreements. And beyond the rules, let’s be honest, your sign says a lot about your business. A broken, faded, or dirty sign can turn people away. Keeping it clean and functional isn’t just good practice. It’s good for business.
