Just call me Chester.
I would stick with someone locally if possible.
Shipping costs for 4x4 signs is up there and you would likely need a way to unload skids from a tractor trailer.
Doing it yourself is probably not a great idea since you will need the space, equipment and labor
to make and store the signs and related materials such as posts which need to be dried, primed and painted.
Let's just say for the sake of argument that you do 365 signs a year. There is an average of 250 work days in a year.
That means that you are installing an average of 1.5 signs a work day or 3- 4x4 panels or 15 a week. Which would take a day or so to make.
Also as you already know the work can be steady or come in spurts, so what would you have the person making the signs
do in slow or off periods? Around here the winter is slow regarding commercial signs.
Although it may seem like from the cost standpoint, you just do not seem to have the volume to make them yourself at a reasonable cost.
