Pole Signs Built for Roadside Visibility & Long-Term Performance
Pole signs are elevated, freestanding, outdoor sign structures designed to maximize roadside visibility. They are ideal for:
- Retail centers
- Restaurant properties
- Gas stations
- Shopping plazas
- Medical offices
- Commercial developments
A professionally installed pole sign allows drivers to identify your location from a distance, increasing traffic and reinforcing brand recognition.
Burns Custom Signs works exclusively with commercial clients. We do not provide residential signage, yard signs, or vehicle wraps. Installation and field service are our core specialties, and we approach every project with durability, safety, and brand standards in mind.
Trusted by National Brands & Sign Programs
We maintain working relationships with national sign manufacturers and retail programs that rely on dependable local execution. Our team has supported projects for brands including Hilton, CVS, Burlington, Ruby Tuesday, and regional restaurant chains.
National programs rely on us because:
- We install according to strict brand specifications.
- We meet demanding timelines.
- We communicate directly and clearly.
- We represent their brand professionally on-site.
- We protect their signage standards.
When we install or service a pole sign, we understand we are protecting both your property and your brand reputation.
Illuminated & LED Pole Signs
Modern pole signs rely on internal illumination to maintain strong nighttime visibility. If your sign is dim, flickering, or partially lit, your property loses presence after sunset.
We provide:
- Illuminated pole sign installation
- LED retrofits and energy-efficient upgrades
- Cabinet relamping
- Ballast and driver replacement
- Electrical troubleshooting
- Panel face replacements
We are insured and capable of performing electrical work within 8–10 feet of the sign structure. For larger electrical scopes, we coordinate with a licensed electrician partner to ensure safe, code-compliant completion.
Pole Sign Repair with 48-Hour Service Response
Pole signs are exposed to weather, structural stress, and electrical wear. When issues arise, roadside visibility is affected immediately.
We aim for a 48-hour response time on many service calls within our primary service area. Retail and restaurant environments depend on consistent visibility, and we are known for adjusting schedules when necessary to protect client timelines.
Common repair issues include:
- Lighting outages
- Storm-related structural damage
- Loose panels
- Water intrusion
- LED module failures
- Timer and photocell malfunctions
Whether we installed your sign or not, we can service and repair it.
Professional Installation with Direct Owner Oversight
Installing a pole sign requires lift access, structural precision, and electrical expertise.
When you contact Burns Custom Signs, you speak directly with ownership — not a call center or project coordinator.
Both owners are actively involved in installation and service work. That hands-on involvement ensures:
- Accurate site evaluations
- Clear communication
- Professional job-site conduct
- Reliable scheduling
- Quality workmanship
We are not the largest sign company in the region. We focus on quality over volume and are known for reliability, accountability, and protecting our clients’ reputations.
