Custom Blade Signs for New Jersey Storefronts
A blade sign sticks out from your wall, so people walking down the sidewalk see your name before they reach the door. We design, build and install custom blade signs for New Jersey shops, restaurants and offices: flat panels, two sided boxes, round signs and lit cabinets, each on a bracket made for your wall. Outdoor signs in most New Jersey towns need zoning approval, and we help with the drawings and paperwork. We also install in the five boroughs. See our NYC service area.

On the Wall
How a Projecting Sign Hangs
Six parts we plan on every projecting sign in New Jersey, before anything is cut.
- 1Wall plate AnchoredBolted to the wall with anchors matched to brick, block, stone or siding.
- 2Bracket arm Steel or aluminumStraight or decorative scroll, sized to the sign and painted to match.
- 3Hangers Eye bolts or chainsHold the sign level and square under the arm.
- 4Two sided facePrinted, painted or raised letters on both sides, so it reads from both directions.
- 5Projection Town ruleHow far the sign reaches out from the wall. Each town sets its own limit.
- 6Clearance Town ruleThe open height between the sidewalk and the bottom of the sign, also set by the town.
Outdoor signs in most New Jersey towns need zoning approval. We help with the drawings and paperwork. See sign permits.
Before We Build
Blade Sign Approval and Your Storefront
A blade sign hangs over a public sidewalk, so your town, and often your landlord, want to see it first. We get you ready for that.
- We start with a photo of your storefront, or a free site survey when the wall needs a closer look.
- Our sign design team draws the sign on your building, with the size, projection and height marked.
- You get the drawings your town and landlord ask for, and we help with the paperwork.
- Historic blocks and shopping centers often have their own sign rules. We draw to them.

FAQs
Blade Sign Questions
Straight answers to what New Jersey businesses ask about blade signs.
What is a blade sign?
A sign that sticks out from the wall at a right angle, usually hung from a bracket. People walking toward your door can read it from both sides.
Do I need a permit for a blade sign in New Jersey?
Most New Jersey towns review projecting signs through zoning, and some also ask for a building permit. We help with the drawings and paperwork your town asks for.
How big should my blade sign be?
Your town sets the largest size and how far it can stick out. We draw a few sizes on a photo of your storefront so you can see it before you order.
Can a blade sign be lit?
Yes. A box sign can hold LEDs so both faces glow at night. We plan where the power comes through the wall before the sign is built.
What are blade signs made of?
Aluminum, aluminum composite, PVC, carved or wood look panels, or a metal box. We pick the material by the size, the look and what your wall can hold.
Will the bracket damage my wall?
The wall plate is held by a few anchors. If the sign comes down later, those holes can be patched.
Can you fix or rehang an old blade sign?
Yes. We repaint faces, replace brackets and rehang signs that have come loose. See sign repair.
How much does a blade sign cost?
It depends on the size, material, faces, lighting, the bracket and your wall. Send a photo of your storefront and your logo for a price.
Do you install blade signs in New York City?
Yes. We build and install blade signs for NYC storefronts in all five boroughs. See our NYC service area.
