Frequently Asked Questions

What types of signs do you make?

Valley Sign Guys makes custom printed signs and panels, banners, decals, window and wall graphics, dimensional letters and logos, wayfinding and room signs, painted signs, and other sign products shown on this site for Phoenix-area customers. Available materials, finishes, sizes, and quantities are confirmed with your quote.

Do you install signs?

Valley Sign Guys makes the signs and graphics in your quote; your installer handles site measurements, permits, mounting, electrical work, access, and installation. Send us the installer-supplied patterns, hole locations, labels, and packing instructions that affect the pieces we make.

What should I tell you about an outdoor sign?

Tell us where the sign will be used, which direction it faces, how much direct sun and surface heat it receives, and whether dust, irrigation, wind, seasonal storms, cleaning, or frequent handling are concerns. These details help us review materials and finishes for Phoenix conditions.

Who supplies and approves the final dimensions?

You or your installer provide the verified final dimensions we use to make the sign. Send drawings, photographs, mounting patterns, and measurements for any area or existing component the new sign must fit.

How can you prepare a sign for my installer?

Share the verified final dimensions, mounting pattern, hole locations, electrical interface, labels, and packaging requests supplied for the project. When included in the quote, we can prepare patterns, identify parts, group components, protect finished surfaces, and package the order for a clear handoff.

What should I include when I request a quote?

Send the type of sign, quantity, verified finished dimensions, one- or two-sided format, intended use, material or thickness if known, artwork, color references, finish preferences, needed date, and any drawings or fit details that affect the finished product.

What artwork files are helpful?

Vector PDF, AI, EPS, or SVG files are useful starting points for logos, lettering, and cut geometry. High-resolution TIFF, PSD, PNG, or JPG files may work for image-based output. Include the approved finished dimensions or exact document scale, fonts or outlined text, linked assets, color references, sides, versions, bleed, and separate cut paths when relevant. We will list any product-specific file needs with your project details.

Do I need finished artwork, and is design or prepress available?

Send the strongest source files, approved copy, dimensions, brand references, and visual examples you have. Tell us if the artwork needs design or file-rebuilding help, and we will confirm the available work and cost in your quote.

What do you check before making the sign?

We check the production file for scale, linked assets, fonts, image quality, bleed, cut paths, and color setup. You approve the final wording, spelling, layout, versions, orientation, colors, and finished dimensions before we make the sign.

Can you match my brand colors?

Send current brand color references and a physical sample when relevant. Screens, inks, paint, vinyl, sign materials, finishes, and lighting can all change how a color looks, so we will identify the color target and any proof or sample step in your quote.

Can patterns, templates, or mounting hardware be supplied?

Yes, depending on the sign. Ask us to include the pattern, template, or hardware your installer needs. We will make those items from the installer-approved dimensions and specifications and list them in your quote.

What should I send for a replacement face, panel, graphic, or component?

Send the strongest original artwork, exact verified dimensions, material and thickness if known, face and edge details, finish and color references, quantity, hole or pattern locations, drawings, and clear photographs or an available sample. We will use those details to review the closest practical production match.

What permit, structural, or electrical information should I send?

Send the final approved size, construction, mounting-interface, and electrical-component information that changes the sign pieces we are making. We use those supplied dimensions and interfaces in the quote and component specifications.

Are pickup, delivery, or shipping available?

Ask about the handoff option you need when requesting your quote. We will confirm availability, timing, cost, packaging, and destination details for your order.

How much will my sign cost, and how long will it take?

Price and timing depend on the sign type, dimensions, quantity, material, artwork readiness, printing or fabrication, finishing, and packaging. Share the date you need the sign, and we will review it with the project details. Price and completion timing are confirmed in your written quote.

What happens after I submit the quote form?

We review the sign type, dimensions, artwork, material and finish preferences, quantity, intended use, and needed date. If we need another dimension, file, or choice, we will contact you, then prepare a written quote for the sign.
