When you order a new sign collection or even just one marker all by itself, you expect more than just the design, manufacture and installation of the product. In fact, there is a lot more that goes into electrical sign installation services for Newark, CA, business clients than meets the eye. Case in point is the Shoe Palace.
Located at 2086 NewPark Mall, this retailer is your go-to store for footwear from Jordan, Converse, Lacoste and Vans. Carrying the latest models and must-have styles, the store is an integral part of the mall’s retail experience. Although the Shoe Palace has an agreement with a sign company that handles the fabrication of its electrical signs, including channel letter signs, it was up to SignWorks to handle the installation and ancillary tasks.
Work that Goes on Behind the Scenes
When done well, the client never sees the tasks and negotiations that take place behind the scenes. For example, the Shoe Palace project required us to coordinate deliveries, material pick-ups, and installation dates between our subcontractor and the sign manufacturer. In this case, the signage involved the store’s lit façade lettering and illuminated interior manufacturer markers.
Moreover, our pros tracked the permitting process and ensured that city officials green-lighted the project well in advance of the scheduled installation date. Becoming familiar with the store’s hours, which allowed us to facilitate the installation when there would be few or no customers, was another important aspect of the job. Another part of the project management work included adherence to quality assurance measures and frequent communication with the client to ensure customer satisfaction.
Working with a Full-service Sign Shop that Handles the Project Management Details Matters
In some cases, signage projects are quick and simple. For example, when you commission an interior poster collection, you deal directly with a graphic artist who works with you on the look of the order. Once printed, the items are ready for pick-up or for delivery. If you request a professional installation, the sign shop will send someone to your location with the hardware and tools required.
In many cases, however, a sign order is far more complicated. If the product will be installed on the exterior of the venue, the city has certain rules that you and the signage professional need to follow. These rules include an extensive permitting process. For sign refurbishing projects, similar rules apply. Even when you redo your interior signage, you may face legal requirements related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Would you know how to navigate these waters without the assistance of an expert in the field? When you do business with a full-service sign shop, you do not have to.
