Yep, but prefer those phone calls to some others....

The only time I use plywood for "Real Estate" signs is when it is absolutely specified. In which case a buy a sheet of pre primed MDO and if needed finish with a coat of oil based bulletin enamel. If the customer doesn't spec I use alumalite, ACM or 10mm coro for a economy job. (and some of us...

The monument has to be well built and in good shape for a plate mount. But at least this one also has a vertical column to fasten too also. I worked at another shop where did one on a brick base using the bolted plate method. The base was solid and the anchors seemed very sturdy. A few weeks...

We've done a few with a paper pattern. Instead of punching with an awl we cut out a little triangle where each corner is ahead of time. Tape the pattern in place and lightly draw the corners in with a pencil.

Easiest, most economical like skyhigh said, or like dfleming, but unless done right and the masonry is really solid that could be pushed over.

Double sided? Won't the back face the building?

That's what I've got...

I thought this was a Letterhead font I have, but it's different. Pretty sure it's a font, it's not hand done. Any ideas? Thanks

First it's a really ugly sign, so I would definitely offer the option of a new updated sign design, in HDU since it's all paint finishes. Other than that it seems a simple project, though I don't see why you included "sandblasting" as part of the restoration process. I would just fill any areas...

I think hiring a local pro photographer is a great idea. They can get the exact shot they want and maybe use it in other marketing materials.

For those that do this wet, I assume you are using a vinyl with a plastic carrier sheet?

Yea, hate pre-assembling layers and fortunately seldom have to do it anymore. It's tough to both line it up and get enough smooth even pressure when it's on a carrier sheet.

That's what I'm afraid of, and if it requires hand painting with vinyl ink, I don't need the headache (literally). I'm getting a sample of the material to test.

I have a client buying one of these (see pic) Looks like they digital print the whole thing, but my client wants us to do the same vinyl lettering we do on their hard side trailers. Years ago I did some that rolled up but these are whole different thing. Anyone ever dealt with one of these...

Is it corrugated metal or standing seam siding? As I said "I would build a aluminum tube frame, face it with ACM, and add a nice bent .040 frame around the edge. At that size I'd build in a couple pieces and assemble on site." The graphics can be applied in any way you like

A hanger, like an airplane hanger? I would build a aluminum tube frame, face it with ACM, and add a nice bent .040 frame around the edge. At that size I'd build in a couple pieces and assemble on site.

If the customer could be talked into doing it right I would add the vertical supports and do it as two faces instead of one double side face. But I can almost guarantee that wouldn't happen. Just look at the shape the old panels were in before they fell down.

Is there a flange to fasten to? I can't tell how it works from the photo. In any case I'd use 6mm ACM or 1/4" Alumalite with some type of batten

First, banner fail in high winds, especially solid banners. You could try mesh, but personally I don't like the way they look, especially double sided. They need horizontal poles top & bottom. Then the banner should be secured to the vertical pole/or pole bracket top & bottom Also put a piece of...
