Sign Installation in Burbank, CA

Your Sign Deserves a Flawless Installation

Most sign installations that fail in Burbank fail at the install, not at the design. Crews unfamiliar with Magnolia Boulevard’s permitting overlays, the Media District’s roof-sign restrictions, and Valley wind loads leave you with crooked cabinets, denied permits, and rust streaks within a season. Los Angeles Sign Company handles the survey, engineering, permit walkthrough, and the installation itself, so the sign over your Burbank storefront looks intentional on day one and still looks right years later.

Your Burbank Sign Deserves an Install That Lasts

Burbank is a city that notices the details. You're right next to studio lots, post-production houses, and animation shops where craft is the standard, and your sign should hold that same bar. Burbank's sign code is also specific, and the Media District has its own rules about roof and projecting signs, so a strong install starts with knowing all of it up front. We take care of the survey, the engineering, the walk-through at City Hall on East Olive Avenue, and the install itself, so your sign goes up clean and stays that way for year

Sign Installation Services in Burbank, CA

Around Burbank, we install just about every commercial sign type a business needs. Here are the four install categories we get called for the most, from storefronts on Magnolia to ground monuments in office parks off Riverside Drive.

Storefront Sign Installation

Your storefront is the first thing a customer sees, and a great sign turns the glance into a visit. We install channel letters, dimensional logos, push-through cabinets, and blade signs on the facades you actually find around Burbank, from the brick fronts in Magnolia Park to the metal panels at Empire Center and Burbank Town Center. The mounting matches the surface, every penetration is sealed, and you end up with a clean, level install that holds up through weather and wear.

High-Rise and Elevated Sign Installation

Tower signs, parapet letters, and elevated wall identity take the right crew, the right rigging, and the right permits. We work at height across Burbank’s office corridors near Bob Hope Drive and the Hollywood Burbank Airport area, with certified teams and calibrated lifts. In Media District zones where roof signs aren’t allowed, we route the design back to a parapet or fascia placement that still gets you the visibility you need.

Illuminated Sign Installation

A clean lit sign starts with the wiring behind it. Our electricians install front-lit channel letters, halo-lit letters, backlit cabinets, push-through acrylics, and LED-illuminated monuments to code, with properly sized transformers, dedicated circuits where they’re needed, and grounded LED runs that hold their color and brightness for years. We coordinate the electrical permit, time the install around the right access window, and come back after dark to verify the sign reads the way you want it to.

Monument and Ground Sign Installation

Monuments anchor your business at the curb, and the foundation is what makes them last. We pour engineered footings sized for the soil and the Valley wind load, run conduit and grounding for illuminated builds, and finish the surrounds in stucco, stone veneer, or fabricated metal to match the property. From single-tenant offices on Riverside Drive to multi-tenant complexes off Empire Avenue, the install sits straight, drains right, and reads cleanly from the street.

Every Sign Type, One Burbank Crew

If it hangs on a wall, sits on a foundation, glows on a parapet, or lives on a window, we’ve installed one. That includes front-lit and halo-lit channel letters, backlit cabinets, push-through acrylics, dimensional logos, and pin-mounted metal letters. We hang neon signage for the vintage marquees still anchoring Magnolia Park, install architectural panel systems on corporate campuses, and put up lobby signs, donor walls, and reception identity for production offices and post houses. Window graphics, vinyl lettering, frosted privacy bands, and full-coverage wall murals are all done in-house. We handle ADA-compliant tactile signage and braille room IDs for medical buildings, schools, hotels, and Class A office space, plus building directories, digital LED displays, scoreboards for school facilities, and event signage when a studio needs something up fast for a press day or a premiere. Not sure what category your sign falls into? We’ll tell you on the site visit.

How We Install Signs in Burbank, CA

Step 1: Walk the Property With You

We look at the location, the brand, the signage already around you, and how your storefront reads from the street. If the property's in the Media District, in a corridor with overlay zoning, or on a building over a certain height, we tell you up front what the city allows so the design goes in a direction that'll get approved. If the artwork's still being finalized, our Burbank custom sign design team can take it from sketch to fabrication-ready files.

Step 2: A Real Site Survey

A proper site survey sets up everything that follows. We measure the elevation, photograph the substrate, locate existing electrical, flag any obstructions like awnings or canopies, and figure out how a lift or crane is going to get to the site. We also document landlord-mandated mounting points and any adjacent tenant signage that affects setback. Those findings shape the engineering and permit drawings so the project moves through plan check cleanly.

Step 3: Permit Coordination

Burbank pulls sign permits through the city's Community Development Department, and the city requires plan check submitted electronically with structural and electrical sheets. We prep the permit set, file it, answer the corrections, and pay the fees on your behalf. If the design also needs landlord approval, a CC&R review, or master sign program sign-off, we run everything in parallel so the timeline stays tight. When the city has feedback, you hear about it from us with a fix already attached.

Step 4: Install Day

On install day, the crew protects the storefront and walkway, runs power through proper conduit, sets anchors with the right fasteners for the substrate, and seals every penetration. Lifts get positioned and certified, traffic control is staged where Magnolia or Olive needs it, and the install gets squared, leveled, and secured before anything's energized. Channel letters get their own circuit, transformers get accessible service points, and the whole run is grounded.

Step 5: Final Walk and Sign-Off

The job wraps once you've seen it lit, you've signed off, and the city's signed off. We walk the property with you in daylight, come back after dark to make sure the illumination's even, and schedule the final inspection with the city. The site gets cleaned, the documentation lands in your file, and you have warranty coverage on the workmanship.

Why Burbank Owners Bring Us in for the Install

A clean, lasting install usually comes down to a few things working together: a licensed crew, a tight handle on the city, and a real connection between design and the wall. Here’s how we cover all three.

Licensed, Bonded, and Insured

Sign installation is electrical work, structural work, and lift work on the same job. We carry an active California Contractors State License Board license, general liability, workers' comp, and a bond that satisfies city and landlord requirements in Burbank. If a property manager asks for a certificate of insurance with them named as additional insured, you'll have it the same day.

We Handle the City for You

You shouldn't have to learn Burbank Municipal Code Article 10 to put a sign on your own business. We handle the application, the drawings, the corrections, and the inspection, then drop the approved permit and final sign-off straight into your file. You get an update at each milestone instead of being CC'd on every email back and forth with the city.

One Team from Concept to Wall

Most of our Burbank projects are jobs where we also did the fabrication, the engineering, or the design. That continuity matters. We know the tolerances before the crew arrives. The mounting hardware is spec'd for the substrate we surveyed. The artwork printing on Friday matches the cabinet shipping out for install on Monday. And if you found us just for the install, we still treat the job that way.

What Our Clients Are Saying

My dad and I acquired an antique gas station signpost that we needed taken down and transported about 10 miles. We then needed it reinstalled a couple months later at another location after being restored. The crew at Los Angeles Sign Co did a fantastic job handling the moves and transport and took great care dealing with a very old and valuable piece of history. Service was above and beyond, and their passion for this type of work really shows in person and in their portfolio of other jobs done. Thank you LA Sign Co! Mis

Missy Y.

Los Angeles, CA

Our previous sign had deteriorated. No idea how long it’d been hanging there, but longer than the 10 years I’d been in my building. One day, it just dangled from one screw, all molded and mushy where the screw used to hold it.

Los Angeles Sign Company furnished me with a quote to meet my specs, updated with a few revisions, and finalized the quote after that. Prompt replies and follow through, and attentive to my requests. Once we paid the invoice, they completed the job in a few days – wasn’t a rush job, so it didn’t matter, but still quick.Came out nice! And matches the look and design of the previous sign, so no one noticed other than it looks pristine and new. Thanks so much!

Natasha In L A.

Los Angeles, CA

I tried working with 3 different sign companies before I found Fran at LA Sign Co. She was the best and followed through with everything. Our building looks great and I have had calls saying how it stands out with the sign and logo LA Sign mounted on the building. This is the place you want to help make your business stand out.

Pat G.

Agoura Hills, CA

Los Angeles sign company created the most gorgeous sign for my company! Ron was my designer and I couldn’t have been happier. My sign has is black letters on silver palettes and the backlighting changes colors constantly. It is actually the coolest sign I have ever seen.

Cyndy J.

Manhattan Beach, CA

We used LA Sign Co for our dental office signage and they did INCREDIBLE work. Every step of the process was professional, and their designs were exactly what I dreamed of. The execution was even better as they finished the sign before we were even ready to install it, but patiently waited for us to catch up.

Mars was excellent to work with right from the start, always being polite and responsive. When it came time to installation, Evelio did a fantastic job.

Above all else, I want to emphasize how beautiful the sign is. It’s the focal point of our lobby and communicates excellence. I’m shocked there are any bad reviews. The negative things people have written are the opposite of my experience. We will be using LA Sign Co again!

Chris S.

Westwood, Los Angeles, CA

I ordered a new sign for my shop and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Fran was very helpful, she guided throughout the whole process, from the design to what material I should use. The sign came out so perfect, our customers love it and so do I. Thank you!

Theodore B.

Palms, Los Angeles, CA

Evelio and Mars were incredible to work with! They made my sign 5 years ago, and it’s still works perfectly. They recently moved it to our new location and did lots of wall vinyl for our art show exhibit. Their work is nothing short of perfection! HIGHLY recommend them!

Mayer W.

Sherman Oaks, CA

Fran was so wonderful and lovely to work with! We had very specific needs and had to change measurements a couple times, but Fran was truly the most patient and kind person throughout all! Our sign installer was also lovely, professional, on time and funny. Highly recommend!

Dominica R.

Beverly Hills, CA

These guys are great, they were able to make my signs on a tight deadline and deliver earlier than expected, they install the sign and did a very clean and professional job.

I would highly recommend them to anybody!

Sam C.

Los Angeles, CA

Mars and the team at LA Sign Co were sooooooooo wonderful and kind to me. One job I had for them wasn’t something they would usually do. But they patently worked with me pushing me to be a better artist, learning many new skills with digital artwork. I’m now having my work on products reproduced in volume due to their help with my prototypes overseas. I can’t say enough how nice and helpful they were to me. I love them!

D.M.

Los Angeles, CA

Mars created a great address design for me and the illustrations gave me an exact image of the finished product. Mars was able to provide me a good quality product which matched my budget. Evelio did a great job with the installation. Overall great service, product, and price. I highly recommend this team. They did a great job!

R J.

Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles Sign Company is excellent! Victoria and team produced a gorgeous 6′ stainless steel reception sign that sets the perfect tone for our office. Everyone was super friendly and accommodated our tight schedule. The process was easy, from creating a pattern based on our specs to a seamless installation. I intend on using them for future needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for signage!

Heidi S.

Los Angeles, CA

Although there was a slight miscommunication in the beginning I have grown to trust and love this company. The management team is amazing (especially Victoria) always doing their best to make sure everything is executed on time, that it looks amazing and they go above and beyond to keep their clients happy. I would highly recommend them.

Paul B.

North Hollywood, CA

We had an amazing experience with LA Sign. We used them for our interior lobby sign. Mars, our contact, was extremely helpful, responsive, and all around wonderful! She did an excellent job guiding us through the whole process. They came into our office to draft an initial mockup before we even committed and their quote was reasonable compared to others.

Additionally, when the installation had come out a little different than what we had imagined, they came back and adjusted it for us without hesitation (or added cost)! We would definitely recommend. Thanks Mars and the LA Sign Co fam!

Colin M.

Los Angeles, CA

My experience was excellent, the company is small but don’t be deceived by the size, Victoria in the front desk was very personable and experienced, she gave us the best suggestions for our restaurant, and we got an illuminated sign for the grand opening that made it look modern and elegant, also a banner to put on the storefront while they manufactured the main sign.

Evelio the owner, went personally to do the site measurements, he is a certified electrician, has his own boom truck, installed the sign and tested it to our complete satisfaction, got the permit with the city. The whole crew was very efficient and detailed oriented.

I will definitely recommend this company. I looked around to get different estimates and they were not the cheapest, but I was fully satisfied with the end result. It was well worth it to invest a little more for a much better quality.

Industries We Work With Around Burbank

Burbank is the Media Capital of the World, and a fair chunk of our install work shows it. We do identity for studios, production offices, post houses, animation companies, music studios, and the agencies and law firms that support them. We also install for the retail and restaurant operators that fill Magnolia Park and Downtown Burbank, the medical and dental practices along Riverside Drive and Olive Avenue, the hotels and hospitality groups serving Hollywood Burbank Airport, the auto dealerships and service centers up North San Fernando Boulevard, and the educational and institutional clients across Burbank Unified and Woodbury University. If your storefront is historic and still carries original neon or porcelain enamel, our historical sign restoration team can pull it, refurbish it, and rehang the original instead of replacing it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of commercial sign installation do you perform in Burbank?

Our Burbank crews handle commercial sign installation across the full range: front-lit and halo-lit channel letters, illuminated cabinets, monument and pylon signs, push-through acrylic, dimensional and pin-mounted metal letters, blade signs, lobby and reception identity, ADA tactile signage, building directories, window vinyl, large-format wall graphics, neon, and digital LED displays. If your sign was already fabricated by someone else and you only need the install, we can take it from there.

Can I install a roof sign in Burbank's Media District?

Roof signs aren’t permitted in Media District zones under Burbank Municipal Code Article 10. We design around that rule by routing the identity to a parapet, wall, or fascia placement that still gives you the visibility you need on Olive, Alameda, and the rest of the Media District corridor. The end result reads as cleanly as a roof sign would, and it sails through plan check.

How long does channel letter installation take in Burbank?

Most channel letter installation projects in Burbank take a single day on site once permitting and fabrication are done. The longer timeline is the front end. Surveys and engineering usually run one to two weeks, the city’s plan check averages two to four weeks depending on workload, and fabrication runs three to five weeks for standard letter sets. We give you a real schedule on day one and update you the moment the city or a supplier moves.

Can you remove our existing sign and install a new one in Burbank?

Yes. We’re often the sign installer that handles both ends of a Burbank sign changeout. We pull the old sign, cap or repair the existing electrical, patch and match the facade, and install the new sign on the same mounting or an upgraded one. If you’re coming out of a lease and the landlord wants the building returned to original condition, we document that scope too.

Do your sign installation services cover cities near Burbank?

Yes. Our sign installation services run all over the Valley and Greater Los Angeles, including Glendale, North Hollywood, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Toluca Lake, Universal City, Pasadena, Hollywood, and West Hollywood. If you have multiple Burbank-area locations, we can roll up the program management so every site gets permitted, fabricated, and installed on the same timeline.
