Thanks Ryze solid advice. I will rent an articulating boom for this one

Thanks Texas_Signmaker. I see you around on these forums giving helpful advice all the time. Saw your website a while back and I'm trying to operate a similar way as a one man show utilizing subcontractors when needed

8' from surface to bottom of sign. 8 x 4'. Customer needs replacement faces. Gonna rent some scaffolds for this one. Do you guys think youd be able to handle that solo?

Hello everybody. I have a customer looking to get a light box installed. I only have experience with replacing the lexan faces, but never with installing the box itself. Im thinking- Order box wholesale, outsource the install to another company and make the face myself. I have an electrician...

Hey everybody. Today I removed some decals from a trailer and ran into some issues. I showed up with an eraser wheel and some 3m adhesive remover thinking that I'd get through this job super quick. However after testing the eraser wheel in a small area it appeared to create a permanent smudge...

How much would you guys charge for a site sign, 3mm 4' x 8' ACM face with (2) 12' x 4' x 4' pressure treated posts? The sign will be for an excavation company and so they will dig the holes themselves. My material costs come out to around $300 so with 2.5x markup and $90 per hour labor/travel...

Closer pic of the sign

Actually I think I may have to rent scaffolding for this, looks like I can't even lean a ladder anywhere. Definitely going to bump up the rate.

Hi Gino really? What about 2 guys and 2 ladders? And yes I'm insured for the work

Hi everybody. I recently got approached by a print shop to remove and replace a slide in lexan sign face about 10' off the ground. Size of the face is about 93" x 46” and I plan to go up there with a ladder. This will be my first time doing this. I figure this will take less than an hour so I...

No restrictions on rear facing windows here in Winnipeg fortunately

Hey guys, what do you think about applying white color cast vinyl (non-perforated) with a grey adhesive to fully cover a back window of a truck? Would there be risk of breakage if its white? Black cast lettering would be layered ontop of the white base layer. Customer is looking to block out...

Im interested in replacing using the metamark wet apply frosted etched films instead of 3m dusted as the price is way lower, anyone use this stuff?

Wow, I gotta jump my prices up. Customer took the 300 price tag without hesitation, I think I'm the only one who thinks 300 dollars is a lot of money.

Just quoted a customer to do their store front windows. I used a rate of $6/sq ft. to calculate the cost and added a bit more to cover transportation costs. Its all cut white vinyl, a decorative stripe that runs through each window that ill have to make sure is level, and a bunch of lettering...

Man this stuff absolutely stinks (Avery HP750 Calendered gloss). Ordered 28 yds of this stinky stuff. I prefer the smell of 3m dusted, or rapidtac 2... Mmmmm

What do you guys think about shipping out some vinyl decals on etsy for side work? Too much of a hassle or worth it?

Alright, yeah though so. I once saw a window with lettering running over the mullion and it just seemed off. Thought it was a standard practice or something. Thanks

Gonna be applying "Breakfast" "Lunch" and "Catering" in white letters, with each word spanning across each pair of windows. Should I split the vinyl up or apply it right over the mullions?

Yeah definitely, gonna be speaking with her this noon in person so hopefully ill get some more info
