Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a sign made for my business?
Getting a sign made starts with a conversation. At RMS Sign Company, we begin by learning about your business, location, goals, and timeline. From there, we recommend sign options that make sense for your space and budget.
Once the design direction is approved, we handle permitting, fabrication, and installation in-house. You don’t need to manage multiple vendors or worry about city requirements. We guide you through every step so the process stays simple and stress-free.
Do I need a permit for a sign in Colorado?
Yes, most permanent signs in Colorado require a permit. Sign codes vary based on zoning, building type, and sign style, which can make the process confusing for business owners.
RMS handles the permitting process on your behalf. We work directly with your local municipalities to ensure your sign meets all requirements before fabrication begins, helping avoid delays or costly changes later.
How long does it take to make and install a business sign?
Most sign projects take between four and eight weeks from start to finish. The timeline depends on permitting, design complexity, materials, and installation requirements.
We encourage business owners to start early, especially for grand openings or rebrands. RMS is known for fast turnaround times, but we never cut corners on quality or compliance.
How much do business signs cost in Colorado?
Sign costs vary widely depending on size, materials, illumination, installation needs, and other factors. To explain it more in depth, we wrote an article that covers sign pricing in detail.
At RMS, we provide clear, upfront pricing and explain what specific factors impact your cost. Our goal is to help you make an informed investment that delivers long-term value, not surprises.
What type of sign is best for my business?
The best sign depends on visibility needs, location, and brand identity. A storefront may benefit from channel letters, while a roadside business may need a monument or pole sign.
We take a consultative approach, helping you choose a sign that fits your individual goals and complies with local code. You don’t need to know the answer when you call, our expert team will help you find it.
Can you update or reface an existing sign instead of replacing it?
In many cases, yes. Refacing or updating an existing sign can be a cost-effective way to refresh your branding without starting from scratch.
We evaluate the condition of the structure, electrical components, and materials to determine the safest and most effective option.
What materials hold up best in Colorado weather?
Colorado’s sun, wind, snow, and temperature swings require durable materials. We use weather-tested metals, UV-stable acrylics, and high-quality finishes designed to last.
Our signs are built with longevity in mind, helping protect your investment year after year.
Do illuminated signs use a lot of electricity?
Modern illuminated signs use LED technology, which is energy efficient and long-lasting. LEDs consume significantly less power than older lighting systems.
They also require less maintenance, making them a smart choice for visibility and operating costs.
What happens if my sign needs repairs later?
RMS offers ongoing service and support, including repairs and maintenance. We also provide a one-year parts and labor guarantee for added peace of mind.
Because we’re local, help is never far away.
Do you handle everything from design to installation?
Yes. RMS Sign Company manages the entire process in-house, from design and fabrication to permitting and installation.
This streamlined approach ensures quality control, clear communication, and dependable timelines.
