Exterior Signs Los Angeles 818-861-5394

The management team from MidCity Suites called us to manufacture and install an exterior business sign for the apartment complex located in the beautiful Mid City/Miracle Mile area. They wanted a non-illuminated sign, so we suggested acrylic dimensional letters for this particular job.  We installed the name of the apartment complex and address numbers on the front of the building wall, making it visible to pedestrians and cars passing by.  You can take a look at our Exterior Signs Los Angeles..

This material is very durable under any kind of weather condition.  The acrylic material can handle extreme heat or cold. You can take a look at our Los Angeles Exterior Signs gallery. We use extruded, pigmented sheets of acrylic and cut them with a laser, giving the letters an immaculate polished look. The thickness of the letters in this case was 3/8" of an inch. The customer give us their logo to replicated for the letters. Our custom laser machine can replicate any type style or logo into the shape that is desired.

ELECTRICAL SIGNS LOS ANGELES 818-861-5394

Rodney Mesriani(owner) from Mesriani Law Group called us to manufacture and install an electrical sign for his new office on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. He wanted reverse channel letters for this sign project. He gave us the artwork for the font style and design. He specifically wanted the color to be black. Here is some  more information on our Electrical Signs Los Angeles.

We encountered an installation problem on the building because we could not drill each letter into wall one by one because there was no access to the wires on the other side of wall. Therefore, we had to use a raceway( a piece of metal to mount the letters and hide the transformer inside). In this case, we used a brush aluminum box to make it look like a sign cabinet, while achieving two objectives; the first one, to mount the letters on the cabinet, the second was to put the transformer inside the cabinet, yet making the sign look attractive and appealing. The depth of the brush aluminum sign cabinet(raceway) is three inches. The lighting for the reverse channel letters is internally illuminated LED. Here is some pictures of our Los Angeles Electrical Signs for back lit channel letters.

We assembled the raceway by mounting the letters on top with the LED's being inside the channel of each  letter at the sign shop. This made the installation easier at the site. The junction box was already installed on the building. After we finished installing the sign, we connected the sign to the junction box to complete the job. Once, we finished installing the sign we tested to make sure it would light up at night. We use a photocell( light sensor on the sign) to have the sign light up at night, instead of a timer.

Sign Removal Los Angeles 818-861-5394 | Motel

This was a sign removal for Good Night Inn in Los Angeles. The sign cabinet was 14'h x 10'w.  The first thing we had to do was to cut the electrical power from the sign in order to remove it. We used a 40ft bucket truck to remove the signs. There was two identical signs on the motel. For more information on Sign Removal Los Angeles.

Once we cut the power off, then we proceeded to take off the panaflex face off the sign cabinet. This material is very light weight and has the appearance of fabric. This material is used as a translucent substrate for sign cabinets that are over sized. This makes the installation or removal of the sign much easier. We took a knife and started to cut the panaflex material from the sign cabinet. Then, we removed the fluorescent lamps and the 2-ballasts(electrical transformers to power up the sign cabinet).  Finally, we started to loosen up the bolts that were holding up the sign on the building. Once, the bolts were completely removed, the sign was hanging on the arm of the bucket truck, so we could now bring it down to the floor. You can a look at our Los Angeles Sign Removal.

It took over 8 hours to remove these two signs. We had to dismantle the sign cabinets in order to reduce the size of the cabinets, so we could transport them to the Los Angeles public dump for disposal of the signs.

Illuminated Signs Los Angeles 818-861-5394 | Restaurant

Shershah Exotic Cuisine of India is an illuminated sign with reverse channel letters mounted on a sign cabinet  working as a raceway( a piece of metal holding the letters together). There was two identical sets of signs that needed to be replaced. The restaurant is located in Marina del Rey, CA. The Restaurant Owner, Suri, called us to fabricated a sign that would be approved by the landlord(Jones Lang Lasalle), an organization operating in many cities across the US. The restaurant had illuminated signs that were open face channel letters with neon, and the landlord wanted the restaurant to change the signs to internally lit LED. Therefore, the owner of the restaurant had to comply with the landlords request. Here is some more information regarding Illuminated Signs Los Angeles.

We had to get approvals from both the landlord and the of City of Los Angeles. We had to submit a structural engineering plan, in addition, to the shop drawings to the City of Los Angeles because the sign was hanging on the corridor ceiling of the restaurant. The city wanted to make sure that the two support beams were going to hold the sign in place.We elected to go to the Building & Safety in Van Nuys, CA., which took two days of submitting the plans and going through the sign check process. Once, we got approved by the City of Los Angeles, we started to fabricated the sign, which took us 6-days to complete. We first had to remove the current signs on the restaurant. This took a day to remove both sets of signs.We then came back the next day to install the new set of signs. We have more picture at our Los Angeles Illuminated Signs gallery of back-lit channel letters.

The client was in a time crunch to complete this sign project requested by the landlord. Therefore, we complied with the customer's request to complete this sign project as soon as possible.

Sign Removal Los Angeles 818-861-5394 | Banner

This is a sign removal of a large format banner using  three high rise rope access professionals to get the job done. The banner was 80ft h x 5ft w. This is the preferred method to remove this type of banner on the building because of the angle and position of banner on the building. This job took three hours to remove. Once we removed the banner from the building; we covered up the holes with stucco putty. This banner was removed on 8-5-13 in Los Angeles. For more information on Sign Removal Los Angeles.

This banner was up for three months to promote the sale of the condominiums. This was a very effective method of advertising the sale of the condo's, every condo was sold on this building. This gives a wide exposure of advertising because it so big, people driving by cannot miss it. This also works for word of mouth advertising.

Sign Removal-Los Angeles 818-861-5394

We did a sign removal of the Hampton Inn sign using a high rise rope access repeller. This method is used when a bucket truck cannot access the sign, due to the telephone lines, trees, or other obstructions that would get in the way of the bucket for the installer to remove the sign. This sign was removed August 7, 2013 in Los Angeles. The approximate height of the sign was 80ft. from the ground. You can take a look at more sign removal pictures at Los Angeles Signs Removal.

The hotel called us because they had called eight sign companies, but none of the sign companies had the capability to remove the sign because the only way in this case was to use a rope access professional, which none of the sign companies had. Therefore, they had to decline on the job. You can click on our Sign Removal Los Angeles gallery.

We removed ten front lit channel letters from the building. The letters were about 30" in height. The sign was powered by neon lighting. The letters were very heavy because the transformers were attached to inside of the letters, some letters had 2-15,000 volt transformers. It took seven hours to complete the job, from beginning to end. The management team at Hampton Inn were happy to have the sign removed after searching for a sign company to remove the sign for over two years. They changes their name to Wingate.

The rope, harness, sky genie(seat), and the rest of the accessories necessary for high rise access were purchased from window cleaning supply.
