West New York Sign Company for Bergenline Avenue Storefronts and Offices

Frontage Formula

How Much Sign a Bergenline Storefront Gets

West New York allows two square feet of sign for every foot of frontage, up to 40 square feet for a single occupant. These are typical Bergenline widths.

12 ft

A 12 foot shopfront
Up to 24 square feet, for example a 2 by 12 foot fascia sign.

Common for small stores between larger ones.

20 ft

A 20 foot shopfront
Up to 40 square feet, the single occupant maximum.

Room for the name and a line of services.

30 ft

Wider than 20 feet
Still 40 square feet for a single occupant.

Extra width goes to window graphics or an awning.

Low profile letters mounted close to the wall.

On the Sidewalk

Slim Signs That Clear the Sidewalk

A West New York wall sign may stick out no more than 8 inches from the building, with its lowest point at least 7 feet above the sidewalk. Deep lit cabinets and raceways have to be built thin to fit, so we usually suggest low profile channel letters, flat aluminum panels or slim light boxes.

In a shared building, each business still works from two square feet per foot of its own frontage, but all signs on that frontage together are capped at 10% of it. We measure the neighbors’ signs too, so your sign does not push the frontage over.

Taking Over a Space

New Tenant on Bergenline?

Remove the old sign

We take down the previous tenant's sign and patch the fascia. See sign removal.

Reface the cabinet

If the old cabinet is sound and conforms, a new face is usually quicker and cheaper than a new sign.

Nothing in the street

No sign other than an official traffic sign may go in the street right of way.

Residential blocks

Signs on residential blocks sit flat, within 6 inches of the wall, with shielded lighting.

Frequently asked questions about signs in West New York

How big can a business sign be in West New York?

Where a commercial lot has a single occupant, sign area is allowed at two square feet per linear foot of the building frontage the sign goes on, up to a maximum of 40 square feet for the business. (Ch. 338, Art. III.) The exact allowance depends on the zone and the building, which we confirm during the site survey.

What kinds of signs do you make for West New York businesses?

Storefront and building signage, channel letters, illuminated cabinets, interior and ADA signage, wayfinding, window and wall graphics, and vehicle graphics. If you are not sure which suits the site, the survey usually settles it.

Can you replace just the face of an existing sign in West New York?

Often yes, when the cabinet's structure, size, location and electrical condition are still sound. Replacing a face can still count as new signage under some ordinances, so we check whether the existing sign conforms before quoting a reface.

Do you work with landlords and property managers in West New York?

Regularly. Lease sign criteria are often stricter than the town's rules, and both have to be cleared, so we read the criteria alongside the ordinance before a design is finalised.

Do you fabricate the signs you install in West New York?

Yes. We design, fabricate, permit and install from our own shop in Linden rather than brokering the work out, so one company stays accountable from the survey through to the final inspection.
