Materials & Types

Brick, stone, masonry & LED monument signs

Every monument sign starts with the base. We build all of them in our own Central Illinois shop, and the 3D builder lets you try each material on your sign before you decide.

Brick Monument Signs

Brick Monument Signs

Brick monument signs are the Midwest commercial classic for a reason: they match your building brick for brick and shrug off decades of weather. We build ours at real-world masonry scale, roughly 18 modular bricks across a 12-foot base, over an engineered block core and footing, so the proportions look right from the road and the structure outlasts the tenants around it. Pair a brick base with an illuminated cabinet or a full-color LED message center, and your entrance reads established on day one. Schools, churches, and offices choose brick more than any other monument sign material we build.

We match existing brick coursing and mortar color so the monument reads as original construction, and every base sits on an engineered footing sized for your soil and frost line. Brick monuments are effectively maintenance free: no repainting, no fading panels, just masonry doing what masonry does. Buying sign-only from out of state? We engineer and ship the illuminated cabinet with masonry drawings any local mason can build the base from, which keeps freight simple and your budget local.

Stone & Masonry Monument Signs

Stone & Masonry Monument Signs

Stone monument signs bring the permanence banks, churches, and estates want at the entrance. We fabricate masonry monument signs in fieldstone, split-face block, limestone, and granite veneer, each set over an engineered footing with routed, dimensional, or halo-lit faces. Stone carries authority that no printed panel can fake, and it needs almost nothing from you: no repainting, no fading, no maintenance contract. If your building already wears stone or brick, we match the material and coursing so the sign looks like it was part of the original construction, not an afterthought.

Beyond the standard veneers we handle carved granite monument signs, sandblasted limestone faces, halo-lit letters over stacked stone, and capstone details that finish the top like architecture instead of signage. Stone monument signs are the default choice for banks, funeral homes, campuses, and municipal buildings where the sign has to carry weight for fifty years. Send us a photo of your building and we will match the stone before you ever see a quote.

Aluminum Monument Signs

Aluminum Monument Signs

Aluminum monument signs deliver the monument look on a faster timeline and a friendlier budget. A fabricated aluminum structure weighs less, installs in a fraction of the time, and takes finishes that convincingly mimic stucco, stone, or brick from ten feet away. They are also the most serviceable monument sign we build: faces re-skin in an afternoon when you rebrand, and internal LED lighting swaps without touching the structure. For multi-tenant plazas, franchises that update branding, and businesses that want presence now, aluminum is the smart play.

Aluminum is also the friendliest monument for rebrands and multi-tenant properties: faces and tenant panels swap in minutes, and the lighter structure often means a smaller footing and a faster permit. It is the backbone of our nationwide ship-only program too, because a crated aluminum monument freights anywhere in the country and sets in an afternoon with the install drawings we include. If you need monument presence this quarter, not next, this is the build.

LED Monument Signs & Message Centers

LED Monument Signs & Message Centers

An illuminated monument sign works around the clock, and adding a full-color LED message center turns it into your hardest-working employee. Change your message from your phone: promotions at 7am, service times on Sunday, emergency closings in seconds, no ladder and no letter kit. We size 4mm to 10mm pixel-pitch displays to your cabinet, single or double face, and preview the whole sign in our 3D builder in both day and night views before you commit. LED monument signs are our most requested build for schools, churches, and retail, and the first thing visitors notice at 45 mph.

Pixel pitch matters: 10mm reads clean for drive-by traffic, while 6mm and tighter earns its cost on slow streets and campuses where people read up close. Every display we install auto-dims at night to stay code compliant, carries a manufacturer parts warranty, and runs on software simple enough that the front desk can update it. We will also tell you honestly when your local sign code limits animation, before you pay for capability you cannot legally use.

Neighborhood & Business Entrance Signs

Neighborhood & Business Entrance Signs

Entrance monument signs set the tone before anyone reaches the door. We design and build neighborhood entrance signs, subdivision entrance signs, and business entrance monuments that give developments and campuses a sense of arrival: masonry columns, routed panels, lighting that flatters the landscaping instead of fighting it. Developers get drawings their HOA can approve in one meeting, and our ship-only option means a builder anywhere in the country can order entrance monuments engineered, fabricated, and freighted with full install drawings for local crews.

We speak HOA. Our entrance monument packages come with the drawings, material samples, and night renderings boards actually approve on the first vote, plus low-voltage lighting plans that flatter the landscaping. Dual-entrance developments get matched pairs built together so the brick lots and stone dye match. For phased projects, we document the build spec so the entrance monument at phase three matches the one at phase one, even years later.

Good Questions

Monument sign FAQ

How much does a monument sign cost?
Most business monument signs run $8,000 to $35,000 installed. Size, base material, illumination, site work, and fulfillment choice drive the price. Every quote we send is a fixed written number, and financing can spread the cost to as little as about $180 per month.
Do I need a permit for a monument sign?
Almost always, yes. Monument signs are regulated by local sign code for height, square footage, and setback from the road. On white-glove projects we handle the permit application, engineering drawings, and inspections for you, anywhere in the country.
Brick, stone, or aluminum: which monument sign base is best?
Brick and stone masonry bases last decades and match most commercial and church architecture. Aluminum monument structures cost less, install faster, and can be finished to mimic masonry. We build all three in our own shop, and the 3D builder shows you each material on your sign before you decide.
Can you add an LED message center to a monument sign?
Yes. Full-color LED message centers are our most requested monument sign feature, letting you change your message from your phone. We size the display to your cabinet and preview it on your sign in day and night views in the builder.
How long does a monument sign take from design to installation?
A typical monument sign takes 6 to 10 weeks: about a week for design and quoting, 2 to 4 weeks for permits and engineering, 3 to 4 weeks of fabrication, and one install day. LED display projects and masonry bases run toward the longer end.
Do you install monument signs outside Central Illinois?
Yes, two ways. White glove: we manage permits, freight, and installation anywhere in the U.S. through our vetted install partner network. Sign only: we build your monument sign in our shop and freight it to you with complete install drawings for your local contractor.
