Which storefront sign is right for you?
Start with what your building allows and how people find you:
| Sign type | Pick this when |
|---|---|
| Channel letters | You own the look and want the most custom, upscale storefront. Best nighttime read from the road. |
| Cabinet or lightbox | You are in a strip center, or you expect to rebrand and want to swap only the face later. |
| Dimensional letters | You want a clean, premium look and do not need the sign lit. |
| Awning sign | You want shade and branding in one, common for restaurants and boutiques. |
| Blade sign | Foot traffic walks past your door and needs to see you from the sidewalk. |
| Window graphics | You need hours, services, or branding at eye level for the lowest cost. |
What storefront signs cost
Lit letter sets are the most common storefront purchase, so here is where they land:
| What you're buying | Typical range | What moves the number |
|---|---|---|
| Front-lit channel letters | $3,000–$7,000 | The classic storefront look — acrylic faces, aluminum returns, LED-lit from inside. |
| Halo-lit (reverse) channel letters | $4,000–$9,000 | Light washes the wall behind each letter. More fabrication, more upscale result. |
| Combination front-lit + halo-lit | $5,000–$12,000 | Both effects in one letter set — the premium storefront option. |
| Non-illuminated dimensional letters | $2,000–$5,000 | No electrical work or LED components, so the cost drops accordingly. |

Landlord rules and permits come first
Before you fall in love with a design, two things have to be checked. First, your lease. Most shopping centers set exactly how big a tenant sign can be, where it mounts, and sometimes even the letter style. Second, the local permit. Lafayette and nearby parish offices regulate sign size, height, and lighting.
We handle both. We prepare the drawings your permit needs and the documents your landlord wants, so the sign you approve is the sign that can actually go up.
