Low Cost Sign Makeover for The Palms Apartment Complex in Anaheim!

Located at 1724-1736 West Ball Road, The Palms Apartments used to be known as the San Marino Apartments. Built in 1959 and offering two stories of apartment homes, this property featured a somewhat outdated post and panel sign that incorporated a palm tree as part of the marker. When the building’s management professionals decided to rename the venue and rebrand its signage accordingly, a representative contacted our full-service sign shop to discuss a low-cost sign makeover for apartment complexes in Anaheim, CA.

A new name of the complex meant a new sign…

…as well as a makeover!

We met with the professional and got to work. After ensuring that the sign was structurally sound, we cut off the contour-cut palm top from the panel. We worked with our client to design a graphics product that is contemporary and instantly gives the venue a facelift. Our technicians painted the post and panel setup while our artists created two 3-mm aluminum composite boards featuring laminated graphics with the site’s new name and logo design. Installation experts then glued these products to the existing panel and secured it with screws. This sign now looks fresh, modern, and – best of all – cost less than $750 to complete.

Save Money with Refurbished Apartment Complex Signage

A fresh name and a fresh look!

• Post and panel signs. These products frequently double as monument signs. Refurbishing them is particularly effective with custom-cut boards we use to place over the panel. Consider the addition of an anti-graffiti coating to protect your investment.
• Monument markers. Addressing motorists, our experts can usually give these signs a new lease on life with a good cleaning, a fresh coat of paint, and a replacement of the lettering or panel.
• Directional signage. Update older signs to meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards.
• Fence signs. Typically made from aluminum, it is possible to update this signage solution with little more than a vinyl overlay we imprint with new information. If the old panels are rather large, consider having us contour-cut them into the shape of your logo or the form of a particular image that underscores the brand of the venue.

When to Invest in a New Product

Does your sign need a makeover?

Typically, there are few reasons when we strongly urge our clients to consider the purchase of a new sign rather than refurbishing an existing marker. When the sign proves to be structurally unsafe or not within code compliance, it is usually better to take it down and start over. But even if the sign’s structure is excellent, there is a time when starting over makes the most sense: costs. If it costs more to refurbish the product than it would to design, manufacture, and install a new one, it makes sense to opt for the redo rather than the update. Of course, you have always have the final say.
