Monument Signs & Entrance Signs in Lafayette, LA
Monument signs in Lafayette, LA give a business, subdivision, church, or school a permanent front door. Sign Design Pros designs, builds, and installs ground-level monument and entrance signs across Acadiana. We build them in everything from clean aluminum to full brick and stone with lit, raised letters.
A monument sign is a built structure with a foundation. So the job is part sign and part site work. We handle the design, the permit drawings, and the install. You deal with one shop from first sketch to the day it lights up.

Monument signs we build
Every monument is built to the site, but most projects fall into one of these:
- Business monument signs — a permanent, ground-level identity for offices, clinics, and retail sites set back from the road.
- Subdivision and HOA entrance signs — masonry or aluminum monuments with the neighborhood name, often lit and landscaped.
- Church and school monuments — frequently paired with a changeable message center or LED display for service and event times.
- Multi-tenant monuments — a main identity panel plus individual tenant panels that can be swapped as tenants change.
What does a monument sign cost?
Monument pricing spans a wide range because a simple aluminum monument and a brick-and-stone structure are genuinely different builds:
| What you're buying | Typical range | What moves the number |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum or PVC monument | $5,000–$15,000 | Clean, durable, no masonry work — the fastest monument to fabricate and set. |
| Lit monument with dimensional letters | $10,000–$30,000 | Internal illumination and raised lettering, plus the electrical run to the sign. |
| Masonry monument — brick, stone or stucco base | $30,000–$65,000 | A built structure with a foundation, so site work is a real part of the number. |
| Installation and site work | $2,000–$15,000+ | Foundation, permitting, electrical and access conditions all live here. |

Built for Louisiana ground and Louisiana weather
South Louisiana soil moves. The ground is soft, the water table is high, and the rain is heavy. So a monument foundation here has to be built for your site, not dropped to a standard depth. Getting that wrong is why some monuments start leaning after a few years.
Materials matter just as much. Strong sun fades cheap faces. Humidity finds any seam you did not seal. And storm-season wind is a real design input, not a formality. We pick the foundation, materials, and finish for your site, then list them on the quote.
How the project runs
- Site visit — we check sight lines, traffic speed, setbacks, and where power can reach.
- Design and proof — you see the monument drawn in place before we build anything.
- Permits — we handle the drawings, plus landlord or HOA sign-off when it applies.
- We build it — made in our shop, with brick or stone work lined up when the design calls for it.
- Foundation and install — set, wired, and finished. We can line up landscaping too.
