Not only the customer's think this way, but so do the sign people doing for ridiculous prices. Ya see, if ya come into this industry through a backdoor, ya don't know the logic behind certain conditions or scenarios. That's not aimed at you, but the many thousands of sign shops with this silly...

:roflmao: Alfred.

Her son, Charles, the new king is already up there in years, too. I highly doubt he'll get 70 years in.

96 years young. She's been queen as long as I've been on this earth.

No one can make an intelligent deduction from only having the sizes. What media, what laminate, what inks/printer ?? What guarantee do they offer ??

Well Done. Message received.

Exactly. Back before computers, when it was all handpainted, we get about $90 to hand letter two truck doors with two colors. Then, ya get this lunkhead who would say..... hey, these things are only temporary, can ya do 'em for say......... $35. ?? Ahh...... no, why ?? Do you think it...

Like he said, double your outta pocket expenses, add your install on top, then your overhead and profit. Be around $4,500 + tx

Technically, they should seal the floor first. Then, you put your decal on. Then, many coats of clear should go over the entire floor & decal, until there is no height difference. Now, a better way would be for you to provide a template. They seal the floor after being sanded and tacked...

So, if someone has 14 signs at various places on a few acres of land, they're all different sizes and different materials, all have similar, but not the same copy or pictures and some are electrical and some are on top of a roof or second floor level...... you survey all that for no money ?? If...

Yes, some of those mag jobs do turn into really big jobs, but not generally from being cheap. More likely from good quality work and great service. If someone is gonna nickle and dime ya on magnetics, don't ya think they'll do the same on a bigger job ??

Just buy UNtreated posts, sand them, one prime coat and 2 top coats. You can still get oil-based paints at Home Depot. They'll last for 15 years.

Okay, I'll ask it, since these answers so far, seem to be from every-which-way. What do you actually mean by a survey and what does a venue have to do with it ?? If we need to go out and do a site survey we have 2 basic costs. One needing a man & a bucket or one with just a regular truck and...

That's a very small sign to be concerned about framework on the back. I'd simply use sign brackets. As for the shape of the sign, just carefully use a jigsaw and then sand it. Probably be around $1,100 or $1,200 including the brackets and your boyfriend's help isn't needed other than for...

$145 to $165 a pair with ready artwork.

Silly boy............. Dave remodeled his sign shop, but he doesn't make signs. Do you see any sawdust, sanding dust, vinyl scraps, old paint jars, saw horses....... anything ?? He's got a beautiful shop, but it looks like he's afraid to get it dirty. All that stuff he built is neat, but can...

Don't you need to be licensed to build it with UL standards and stamped ?? You can't buy a single lighting assembly anywhere without UL stamps on it. Edit : indoor or outdoor

It was kinda evident from your OP. You need to be licensed to build the cabinet, then it hasta be UL stamped. It also needs to be installed by a licensed company. However, this would all be figured out when you apply for the permit you need to do this whole project. Regardless of where the...

Reason I asked is, if this is outside, acrylic will be fine. Poly would be overkill at this small size. I'd use white translucent and double strike. Using LEDs, the can should be about 7" deep to prevent hot spots. Real question is..... are you licensed to make electric backlits ??
