As most exterior signs are illuminated to increase night and daytime visibility, electrical repairs are often needed. Sometimes it’s as simple as replacing lightbulbs, neon tubes, fluorescent light ballasts, or even upgrading to LED lighting for more reliability.

Some signs may require electrical repairs. Wind and corrosion often cause electrical connections to go bad over time leading to inoperative lights or even short circuits. Staying on top of your signs electrical system will keep it bright, attracting customers night after night for years.

In recent years, digital LED message boards have become hugely popular. These signs are in wide use because they are instantly updateable, allowing businesses to communicate directly to the public in real time. These displays sometimes have segments or dead pixels which sometimes cause confusion. You might also have communication issues with the sign when trying to program it. You may also have a power supply issue causing a total failure.

If you rely heavily on LED message boards such as these, it’s imperative you keep it fully functional with software updates, regular maintenance, and any unscheduled repairs.

Safety is a top priority during installation. Experienced sign installers will ensure they have the necessary safety equipment as well as any scaffolding or lifts needed. They should also have caution tape, warning cones, and whatever else is needed to mark off the area to prevent accidents.

The harsh sun and wind cause more damage to the painted surfaces of your signs than anything else. Faded or chipped paint will make your signage look old and unprofessional. This reflects badly on your business for obvious reasons. Resurfacing and repainting your sign in its original colors or even adding new protective coatings will increase the life of your signs.

For non-painted surfaces, cleaning, removing oxidation, and polishing will renew your sign’s surfaces. Vinyl lettering and window graphics may also need to be cleaned, repaired, or replaced over time. Any of these will give your signage a new lease on life.

Sign mounts sometimes loosen over time due to high winds. Some of these problems can be fixed or prevented with repairs and maintenance. Some sign mounts may need to be resealed to prevent leaks on the mounting surface. In some instances, signs may need to be releveled due to bent mounts or sinking foundations.

Older or poorly hung signs may also need their mounting to be strengthened as a precautionary measure to prevent issues before they happen.
