Superior Signs and Graphics designs, fabricates, and installs custom signs for Los Angeles law firms, apartment buildings, schools, warehouses, and restaurants, working from our shop at 6061 Dale Street in Buena Park, about 21 miles from Los Angeles City Hall via I-5. We hold a California C-45 sign contractor license (#1015342), which matters in Los Angeles because the city only issues permits for illuminated signs to licensed electrical or sign contractors.
Recent work
Permits
Under the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) sign rules, permits for illuminated signs are issued only to a licensed C-10 electrical contractor or a C-45 electrical sign contractor. If your channel letters, cabinet sign, or lighted logo will be installed in the City of Los Angeles, your sign company needs one of those licenses to pull the permit. Superior Signs and Graphics holds a C-45.
A permit is also required to alter or remove an existing sign. A simple face change in an existing cabinet does not need one, but removing the cabinet does. We handle every step above as part of the project.
Channel letters
For illuminated channel letters in Los Angeles, Superior Signs and Graphics fabricates the letters, draws the permit plans, pulls the illuminated sign permit under our C-45 license, and installs the sign. We build face-lit, halo-lit (reverse), and combination LED channel letters for storefronts and commercial buildings, and we match letter height and sign area to what your zone allows. Many LA commercial zones limit how far a sign can project from the wall and whether pole or monument signs are allowed at all, so the design starts with your lot’s zoning, not after it.
Projects
These are projects we have completed for Los Angeles clients in the last few years.
Quantum Law Group welcomes clients with custom acrylic lobby signs we designed with their team, and we have also made a brushed gold metal lobby sign and laser-cut acrylic lobby letters for other Los Angeles law offices, including signs with non-English lettering.
The Harland, a luxury apartment building in West Hollywood with Marmol Radziner interiors, chose a 3D brushed metal lobby logo sign. For Village Partners, we covered the electrical boxes of an upscale condo community with floral vinyl wraps.
San Gabriel High School added big 3D gate letters and logos at its entrance. For the Bassett Unified School District we produced graffiti-proof post and panel signs at Van Wig Elementary and other campuses.
Haaker Equipment Company replaced three weathered building signs with new 3D acrylic signs, then added a full wayfinding and directional sign package. When Consolidated Electrical Distributors took over a new facility in Vernon on a Saturday, we had its building sign up for a company event that Friday.
Prime Pizza’s south-facing window graphics took years of sun, so we replaced them with a fresh design. Chick-fil-A uses our 3M decals and lettering on its Los Angeles catering vans.
Palladium Projects asked us for laser-cut acrylic lettering on standoffs for the State Street Business Park monument sign, after an earlier monument letter project at another of its parks.
Interior packages
Los Angeles companies that need door signs, wayfinding, and interior branding at the same time can give the whole package to Superior Signs and Graphics, since we design, print, fabricate, and install all of it. A typical interior package includes room and suite signs, ADA-compliant signs, directional and wayfinding signs, a lobby logo, frosted glass graphics, and wall graphics or murals. Spectrum, for example, uses our environmental wall graphics to shape how its Los Angeles offices feel.

FAQ
Straight answers about permits, timing, and the work we do in Los Angeles. Something else on your mind?
Only a licensed C-10 electrical contractor or a C-45 electrical sign contractor can get an illuminated sign permit from LADBS. Superior Signs and Graphics holds California C-45 license #1015342.
No, a simple face change in an existing cabinet does not need a permit. If the cabinet is removed, though, you need a permit and the new sign must meet current code. Removing a sign also requires a permit.
Your lot’s zone decides which signs are allowed and where, and you can look up the zone on the city’s ZIMAS system. In C1 and C1.5 zones, for example, signs must be attached to the building, can project no more than 2 feet, and monument and pole signs are not allowed.
Usually not if it is under 100 square feet, unless it goes on an unreinforced masonry building. Freestanding signs and larger wall signs need structural plans and calculations stamped by a licensed engineer or architect.
Yes. We design, print, fabricate, and install the whole interior package: room and suite signs, ADA-compliant signs, wayfinding, lobby logos, frosted glass, and wall graphics.
Yes. We installed perforated window graphics at Amazon’s DAX7 facility in South Gate and Sprinter van graphics for All Around Fire Protection in Pico Rivera. Lynwood is its own city, so sign permits there go through Lynwood instead of LADBS.
Send us the address and what you need. We will check the zoning, schedule a site survey, and send a design and quote that already accounts for the LADBS permit.
