Real Neon Signs.
Handcrafted. Authentic.

There's nothing quite like real glass neon. The warm glow, the handmade character, the unmistakable presence — it's a craft that sets your business apart from anything LED can replicate.

Why Real Neon

Glass Neon vs. LED Neon

LED neon flex looks fine in photos. Real glass neon has a warmth, depth and authenticity that no LED strip can match — especially in person. If your brand demands presence, glass neon delivers it.

Handcrafted by skilled neon artisans — each sign is one of a kind
Warm, authentic glow that no LED flex strip can replicate
Highly photogenic — customers photograph and share real neon constantly
Available in dozens of glass colors for any brand palette
We also specialize in neon repair — restore your existing sign instead of replacing it

City Permit Notice

Everything You Need to Know
Before Buying a Business Sign

By Bigtime Signs  |  Commercial Signage Experts Since 1992  |  Serving LA, OC & Inland Empire

"A business without a sign is a sign of no business." — and yet every day, thousands of businesses across Los Angeles lose potential customers simply because they can't be seen.

Whether you're opening a new business and need your first sign, upgrading outdated signage, or trying to figure out why your current sign isn't pulling customers in — this guide answers the most common questions business owners ask before making a signage decision.

Questions People Search Before Buying a Sign
?How much does a business sign cost?
?What type of sign is best for my business?
?How long does it take to get a sign made?
?Do I need a permit to install a business sign?
?What is the best outdoor sign for a storefront?
?Are LED signs worth it for small businesses?
?How do I find a reliable sign company near me in Los Angeles or Orange County?
?Can I get a sign repaired instead of replaced?

How much does a business sign cost in Los Angeles?

Sign pricing varies widely depending on size, material, type and installation complexity. Here's a general breakdown to help you budget:

Sign Type
Typical Price Range
Vinyl Banners
$50 – $500
Window Graphics / Decals
$100 – $800
Illuminated Sign Box / Cabinet
$500 – $3,000+
Channel Letters (Non-Lit)
$1,000 – $4,000+
LED Channel Letters
$2,000 – $8,000+
Full Vehicle Wrap
$2,500 – $5,000+

Remember — the cheapest sign is rarely the best investment. A well-made, properly illuminated sign pays for itself through increased foot traffic and brand credibility. At Bigtime Signs, we offer free estimates and competitive pricing that beats most sign companies in LA County.

What type of sign is best for my business?

The right sign depends on your location, business type, budget and how far you need to be seen. Here's how to think about it:

Retail Storefront
Channel letters or illuminated sign boxes are ideal. They're visible day and night and signal permanence and professionalism to passing customers.
Service Business / Contractor
Vehicle wraps are your best ROI. Your truck becomes a 24/7 moving billboard across every neighborhood you serve in LA, OC and the Inland Empire.
Restaurant or Bar
Custom neon signs and window graphics attract foot traffic and are highly shareable on social media. A great neon sign gets photographed thousands of times and markets your business for free.
Office or Professional Services
Interior signage, lobby signs, dimensional lettering and window decals reinforce your brand for clients the moment they walk through the door.

How long does it take to get a custom sign made?

Turnaround time depends on the complexity of your order. Here's what to expect from most sign companies in Los Angeles:

Banners & vinyl graphics1–3 business days
Window graphics & decals2–5 business days
Vehicle wraps5–10 business days
Channel letters & cabinet signs2–4 weeks
Permitted electrical signs4–8 weeks (permit dependent)

At Bigtime Signs, we work efficiently to hit your timeline. If you have a grand opening, event or deadline — tell us upfront and we'll do everything possible to accommodate it.

Do I need a permit to install a business sign in LA?

In most cases, yes — especially for illuminated signs, channel letters, and any sign attached to a building or installed on a pole. Los Angeles County and most cities within it require sign permits. Here's the general rule:

Permits are typically required for: Wall-mounted signs, electrical signs, signs over a certain square footage, freestanding signs and monument signs.

Permits are typically NOT required for: Temporary banners, window decals under a certain percentage of window coverage, and small interior signs.

Working with a reputable sign company in Los Angeles means they handle the permit process for you. At Bigtime Signs, we've been navigating LA County, Orange County and Inland Empire permitting requirements for over 34 years — we know exactly what's needed so there are no surprises.

Are LED signs worth it for small businesses?

Absolutely. LED signs have become the gold standard in commercial signage for several compelling reasons:

Energy Savings
LED signs use up to 75% less energy than traditional neon or fluorescent signs — significantly reducing your monthly electricity bill.
Longer Lifespan
Quality LED components last 50,000–100,000 hours — versus 10,000–15,000 hours for fluorescent lamps.
Brighter & More Visible
LED illumination is cleaner, whiter and more attention-grabbing — especially visible during daylight hours when neon can look washed out.
LED Retrofit Option
You don't need to buy a new sign. Our LED retrofit service upgrades your existing sign cabinet or channel letters to LED — saving thousands versus full replacement.

Can my sign be repaired instead of replaced?

In the majority of cases — yes. Many business owners assume a broken or damaged sign needs to be fully replaced when a professional repair can restore it to perfect condition for a fraction of the cost. We specialize in:

Neon sign repair — troubleshooting, tube replacement, transformer repair and reinstallation
Channel letter repair — replacing burnt-out LEDs, fixing wiring and restoring faces
Sign cabinet repair — face replacement, repainting, ballast repair and structural fixes
Electrical sign troubleshooting — when your sign won't light up and you don't know why

As the #1 sign repair service in Southern California, Bigtime Signs has the experience to diagnose any sign problem quickly and get your business visible again — without the cost of a full replacement.
