Sign Installation & New Sign Services in Toledo, Ohio

A Proven 5-Step Process From Design to Final Install

 
 At True Aerial Signs, we do more than build signs—we manage the entire process from consultation to installation. Our proven 5-step approach ensures your signage is designed strategically, built with precision, fully permitted, and professionally installed—on time, on budget, and to code.

We’re licensed and insured in Ohio and Michigan, and our work can be seen on storefronts, monuments, and pylon signs throughout Toledo.

Step 1 – Site Survey & Consultation

 
 Before anything is built or installed, we conduct a thorough site survey. This includes:

  • Reviewing city code and zoning regulations
  • Analyzing fascia surface and mounting conditions
  • Measuring existing signs and electrical setups
  • Photographing your site to assess visibility and size
  • Identifying traffic flow and night-time exposure

This step ensures we understand your goals and location so we can recommend the best [sign design and fabrication] approach.

Step 2 – Custom Sign Design

 
 We help bring your brand to life with custom signage designs tailored to your business. Whether you have an existing logo or need design support from scratch, we provide:

  • Concept sketches and proofs
  • Design revisions with your feedback
  • Final approval before we fabricate

We work closely with trusted graphic designers and always ensure your sign is both brand-aligned and build-ready.

Step 3 – Permitting & Compliance

 
 Navigating city permits can be overwhelming. That’s why we handle it for you. Our team:

  • Submits and manages all paperwork
  • Ensures designs meet Toledo and surrounding area codes
  • Resolves issues quickly through clear communication
  • Requests special variances when needed

We know the ins and outs of signage regulations and keep your project moving forward.

Step 4 – Fabrication

 Our in-house team builds signs with quality, durability, and engineering excellence. Whether you’re getting [channel letters], [cabinet signs], or a [monument sign], we use proven methods and premium materials.

Fabrication capabilities include:

  • Aluminum extrusion & sheet metal cabinets
  • Vinyl graphic application
  • Vacuum-formed faces
  • Channel letter creation
  • Custom lighting systems (LED, neon)

We build to last—whether for one site or dozens.

 Step 5 – Professional Installation

 
 Our experienced, licensed installers mount signs of any size or height, using the right tools and methods for every sign type. We provide:

  • Crane and lift-based mounting
  • Electrical wiring for LED and neon systems
  • Concrete bases or wall-mount brackets
  • Post-installation photo documentation
  • A 5-year warranty on electric sign products

We don’t stop after the install—we also offer [sign maintenance and repairs] when needed.
