5 Step Process
Step 1: Consultation
If you’re looking for sign services but don’t know where to start, we can help. We understand that there are many options when designing, repairing, maintaining, or even removing signs and lighting, and that it can be a stressful and expensive process. Our team is dedicated to listening to your goals and needs and providing help to get there.
There’s nothing to be ashamed of if you’re looking for a new sign but have no design ideas or aren’t sure what type of sign would work best for your business. Our team has over 38 years working on the design, manufacturing, and installation of all types of signs.
Other than strategy and brainstorming, we also survey your site to help make more educated suggestions. By doing so, we can analyze a precise location, access, best orientation, and become aware of any obstacles. You wouldn’t want to pick the perfect spot to find out a tree is growing right in front! Portland Sign Co. assures that we will gather all the information with consistency and accuracy. An accurate analysis of the site and building conditions will eliminate any possibilities of errors. Some of our Services include:
- Site Plan with Measurements
- Interior Surveys
- Night Surveys
Step 2: Design & Engineering
At Portland Sign Co., our expert in-house designers understand the unique purpose behind every sign. From bright, attention-grabbing displays to non-electric directional signs and decorative elements, our team will work with you to create the perfect product for your business, event, or vehicle.
The design process with us is tailored to your specific needs. For corporate chains and businesses, we are familiar with brand requirements and specifications. For local businesses, we value tradition while also recognizing the importance of updating or rebranding designs when necessary. Whether starting from scratch or simply manufacturing a corporate design, our team has the skills to help you with all aspects of sign design.
Investing in a sign is a long-term investment and we want you to be confident in your choice. Whether using an existing logo or creating a new one, our team has the expertise to guide you through the design process, from sending proofs to ensuring final approval of your design.
Let Portland Sign Co. help you create a sign that stands out, lasts, and reflects the unique character of your business.
Step 3: Permits
The cities of Portland, Salem, and the surrounding communities require permits for many types of electric, banner, A-frame and digital signs. We are familiar with these regulations and ordinances and will handle any permits needed for your sign. We know that paperwork can seem daunting and many companies will want you to take care of that yourself. We partner with you to help the process be as quick and easy as possible.
We make it our business to know the ins and outs of the local codes and regulations, so you don’t have to. Because our team has more than 38 years of combined experience, we know what it takes to get the necessary permits for your company’s sign.
We’ll make sure the correct paperwork is submitted and our communication is efficient with whomever we need to work with so that the sign designs are quickly approved.
Should there be any issues with your desired product, Portland Sign Co. can help get special allowances for the local codes or ordinances so we can proceed with the manufacturing and installation of your thoughtfully designed sign.

Step 4: Manufacturing
We know that the installation of a new sign or lighting fixture is an investment into your business – and we care about doing it right the first time. Our team has more than 38 years of experience manufacturing signs and we can design, manufacture, and install so that you don’t need to worry about improper wiring, cheap parts, or the misinterpreted design. We handle every step of the process in house.
Signs can be manufactured in many ways, from engraving and neon tube shaping to computer-cut vinyl, traditional hand painting, screen printing, and digital printing. Each of these methods takes time and requires specialized equipment, skill, and safety.

At Portland Sign Co., our licensed and bonded team of professional sign experts will transform your logo into a sign designed to your specifications, so you have the sign you’re looking for. We can match existing business colors or logo designs to ensure your business has the proper brand recognition.
Building your sign from scratch will bring the personalized touch you want in great quality, handcrafted product. Our attention to detail paired with quality materials is a combination that will create a sign that lasts. We enjoy providing our clients with the latest in signage solutions. Let our professionals design and manufacture the sign of your dreams.

Whether it’s a digital sign on main street, channel letters for a strip mall boutique, a parking lot light fixture, or a banner in a gymnasium, we want you to be proud of how your product appears.
