Pylon signs that stand above the traffic
On busy commercial corridors, drivers decide where to turn long before they reach your driveway. A pylon sign lifts your name above parked cars, trees, and neighboring buildings so people can find you from a distance — and it gives every tenant at a shared property a place at the road.
Signs Limited builds, installs, and services pylon signs for retailers, restaurants, and shopping centers across the Ohio Valley. Our family-owned team handles everything in-house, and our own fleet of bucket trucks means the same people who install your sign are the people who come back to maintain it.
Designed for distance and legibility
A pylon sign has seconds to be read by a driver moving at speed. We design for contrast, letter height, and simple layouts that read quickly, and we plan illumination so the sign works after dark. For multi-tenant properties, we lay out consistent tenant panels that are easy to change later.
Engineering, permitting, and installation
Pylon signs are structural projects. Wind load, foundations, pole sizing, and electrical service all have to be right, and tall signs face the strictest height and setback rules in most codes. Our team researches local requirements throughout Eastern Ohio, Wheeling, WV, and Western PA, prepares site plans and production drawings, and submits permit paperwork before production starts.
Fabrication happens in our Steubenville shop — steel structures, aluminum cabinets, pole covers, and illuminated faces — and installation is handled by our own crew and equipment.
Re-facing and ongoing service
Not every project needs a new structure. When a brand changes or a tenant turns over, we can often re-face an existing pylon or swap tenant panels. And after installation, we remain available for lighting repairs and maintenance — work our bucket trucks do across the region every week.

Frequently asked questions
Can you re-face an existing pylon sign instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If the structure is sound, new faces or tenant panels can update your brand for far less than a new sign. We'll inspect the sign and tell you honestly which makes sense.
Who handles the permits for a pylon sign?
We do. Pylon signs are closely regulated for height, size, and setback. We research your municipality's requirements, prepare the site plan and drawings, and submit the permit paperwork.
Do you service pylon signs?
Yes. Our bucket trucks and service crew handle lighting repairs, panel changes, and maintenance on tall signs throughout the Ohio Valley.
