Custom Neighborhood Entrance Signs; Repair, Renovate or Replace?

A Custom Neighborhood Entrance Sign represents your neighborhood in the best possible way! 

An attractive neighborhood entrance sign conveys a sense of pride – within the neighborhood and community alike. It welcomes guests, provides wayfinding… and it is the first thing people see when entering the property. Your entrance sign ‘introduces’ your neighborhood to the community!

The best entrance signs are designed to coordinate perfectly with the landscape design – helping to showcase your neighborhood’s character and style. Whether apartment homes, townhomes, single family homes, or condominiums, elegant, effective signage will enhance your property and represent it well.

Neighborhood Entrance Sign Types, Styles, and Materials

At Blue Chip Signworks, our signs are custom-designed to meet the unique needs of your neigborhood. The are many sign types, styles and materials to choose from… the design possibilities are almost endless!

Here are just a few examples:

Neighborhood Entrance Signs can be Monument Signs. These stand-alone structures are typically constructed from metal, stucco, masonry brick or stone. Plaques, dimensional letters – even routed logos and shapes can be mounted on them… using attractive designs and colors to display the name and identity of the neighborhood. Monument signs and letters are often internally illuminated; otherwise exterior landscape lighting can be used to make signage visible at night.

Neighborhood Entrance Signs will often use the existing walls as a background. Wall signs range from simple, elegant lettering in upscale materials, to sophisticated cabinet designs with internal illumination and routed sign faces or push-thru letters. As with monument signs – wall signs are designed to coordinate with landscaping details to create a lasting visual impression of the community inside.

Sometimes a post and panel sign works best. These signs can be used at neighborhood entrances… and they also work well as wayfinding or directional signage inside the property. Post and panel signs can be constructed in all shapes and sizes, so this type of sign is easily adaptable to your specific location. Both the sign faces and the posts are available in a wide range of materials and styles, with coordinating finials to complete the look.

At Blue Chip Signworks, we enjoy designing and creating unique Neighborhood Entrance Signs for our customers in and around the Valley of the Sun. From rustic metal signs on gabion rock baskets, to routed dimensional lettering, mountain shapes and trees… creating unique signage to showcase your neighborhood is our specialty!

Repair, Refurbish, or Replace your Signs?

Here in Phoenix, the hot sun, monsoon storms, and other damaging factors can affect the beauty and visual impact of your signage.

All types of neighborhood entrance signs, whether stone, metal, or HDU will eventually begin to weather. Sometimes styles can begin to look outdated. Once that happens, you may want to review some options to repair or restore your sign to its original beauty.  Or, if your neighborhood has undergone some upgrades – perhaps it is time to upgrade your signage as well with a new build.

At Blue Chip Signworks, our team can help! We have recently partnered with several HOAs around the Valley to evaluate the existing HOA signage, help determine the best course of action, and implement the design upgrades.

Our electrical repair and re-furbish efforts can range from simple bulb and ballast replacements to led conversion. Often we can refresh the exterior of your existing sign… from repainting to tile removal and re-surfacing, replacing dimensional letters or adding brand new faces with dimensional logos.

If the sign is too out of date or damaged, a newly designed sign might make more sense. We will visit your site and provide recommendations as you determine whether to repair, re-furbish or replace.

The Project Flow and Timing for Custom Neighborhood Entrance Signs

Projects typically begin with a call (or contact form) from an HOA, subdivision, or property management company inquiring about an update to their neighborhood entrance sign.

Our professionals will visit your site to photograph and make measurements – then provide a set of artistic renderings showing the new design concepts set against the background of your existing landscape. Typically several design options are provided to the HOA leadership team or property manager for review and approval.

Blue Chip Signworks will also work with the city to secure the required permits, then our craftsmen create the signs. When it is time for installation we will schedule it with you in advance, and coordinate with city or local property management as needed to minimize disruptions.
