Blade Signs & Projecting Signs in Lafayette, LA
A blade sign hangs out from your building instead of sitting flat on it. That one change means people walking down the sidewalk can see you from both directions. Sign Design Pros builds and installs blade, projecting, and bracket signs across Lafayette.
They work best where people are on foot or driving slowly — downtown blocks, shopping districts, and any storefront set into a row of others.

Where blade signs win
- Downtown storefronts, where every shop has a flat sign and none of them stand out.
- Buildings set back behind a covered walkway or gallery.
- Businesses upstairs or down a shared entry, where the door is easy to miss.
- Restaurants and boutiques that want a look with some character.
- Anywhere people walk past your door instead of driving by at speed.
What to plan for
| Consideration | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Height above the sidewalk | Local code sets a minimum clearance so nobody walks into it. |
| How far it projects | Codes and leases often cap how far a sign can extend over the walkway. |
| Wall strength | The bracket carries real weight and wind load. The mounting has to be solid. |
| One side or two | Two-sided signs cost more but catch people coming from both directions. |
| Lit or unlit | Lighting adds an electrical run but keeps you visible after dark. |
