What Are Monument Signs for Businesses?
Simply put, monument signs for businesses sit at ground level and are freestanding signs.Due to their structural design, these signs provide commuters with a direct line of sight to your signage and offer a sleek and low profile with little to no open space between the ground and the sign itself.
We can build a monument sign to complement your architecture, from a low, modern metal panel to a full brick-and-stone structure. Adding an illuminated cabinet, dimensional letters, or an address panel helps Los Angeles or Orange County your sign work just as hard after dark as it does during the day.
Ready to Enhance Your Brand Presence?
With fair market cost and a commitment to price matching our competitors, you are guaranteed a great deal at Instant Signs. Call today to benefit from our consistent, reliable installation timelines for monument signs for your business, church, subdivision, or community.
Once you provide your logo, text, and artwork, Instant Signs begins your design. Talk to us about the sign’s location, and we can help with the permits your city requires. Once you approve the layout and mockup, we build and install your new sign.
Benefits of Monument Signs
Businesses lose prospective customers all the time simply because those customers could not find them. Do not let your business fall victim to this. Instead, choose a high-quality, custom freestanding sign and enjoy these benefits.
Increased Visibility
According to a study by the University of Cincinnati’s Economic Center, almost 60% of consumers have turned away from a business due to a lack of proper signage. These signs sit near roadways and sidewalks and are large enough to be noticed from a distance.
Maximized Marketing
In a report by the Sign Research Foundation, businesses saw revenue rise up to 10% following the installation of a monument sign. Because these signs are visible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, they reach more Orange County consumers than many other forms of advertising.
High Durability
These freestanding signs are built to endure the outdoor elements and harsh weather. That durability also tells customers your business is steadfast and here to stay.
Aesthetically Pleasing
Because your sign can be built from several materials, you can match it to your building’s exterior to boost brand extension and curb appeal.
Our Portfolio
Monument signs help your business achieve a stronger presence and boost street visibility.

Design and Installation
From a custom monument sign design built around your content (logo and artwork supplied by you) to the installation of your new sign, Instant Signs handles it all. Our team of trained professionals includes graphic designers, project managers, fabricators, and installers, and our goal is to exceed your expectations at every step.
We build every structure to last in the Southern California climate and finish it to match your brand colors, so your entrance looks polished from the first day it is installed.
It’s important to choose the right material that aligns with your brand image, durability requirements, and budget. Here are some popular options for monument signs:
- Brick: Timeless and sturdy, brick offers a classic, established look.
- Stone: A natural, upscale appearance, with different stone types for varied aesthetics.
- Concrete: Durable and versatile, an excellent choice for longevity.
- Metal: Sleek and modern, resistant to weather, for a contemporary look.
- High-density foam: A lightweight, cost-effective high-density foam core can be shaped and finished to mimic premium materials.
Monument Signs Fabrication and Installation in Orange County & Los Angeles
Instant Signs is a full-service provider, so we handle your project from the first design concept to the final installed structure. You work with one licensed team for the design, fabrication, and installation of your monument signs in Orange County or Los Angeles.
Our Monument Sign Process
Here is how Instant Signs builds and installs a freestanding sign:
- Design: We start with a free consultation and use your supplied logo, text, and artwork to design a sign that fits your site. Instant Signs does not offer logo design, but we prepare your existing artwork for fabrication.
- Material selection: We help you choose brick, stone, concrete, metal, or high-density foam based on your look, durability needs, and budget.
- Fabrication: Our team builds your sign in-house, so quality is controlled at every step.
- Installation: Our trained installers set the footing, secure the structure, and install your monument signs for business locations to code.
Turnaround Time
Because these signs are masonry or foam structures that usually need footings and city approval, most projects run about four to eight weeks from approved design to installation. Instant Signs gives you a clear, communicated timeline before work begins, so you can plan around your grand opening.
Permitting and Code Compliance
A freestanding sign almost always requires a sign permit, and setback, height, and foundation rules vary by city. As a C-45 licensed, bonded, and insured sign contractor, Instant Signs pulls the permits your monument sign requires and handles site surveys and communication with city officials.
Choosing a licensed contractor protects you from fines and costly rework. As a registered public works contractor, Instant Signs is also eligible for prevailing wage sign contractor work on government and publicly funded projects.

How Much Do Monument Signs Cost?
A common question we hear is how much monument signs cost. The price depends on the size of the sign, the materials, the complexity of your design, lighting, foundation work, and permits.
As a general planning guide, monument signs for businesses often fall into these ranges:
- A post-and-panel sign (freestanding sign made of one or more vertical posts that support a flat sign panel) often starts around $2,000 to $5,000.
- A mid-size brick, stone, or concrete sign commonly runs about $10,000 to $15,000.
- Large, illuminated, or double-faced signs with custom masonry can range from $15,000 to $40,000 or more.
Several factors move the price of your sign up or down:
- Size and height: Taller, wider structures use more material and labor.
- Materials: High-density foam is the most budget-friendly option, while natural stone and full masonry cost more.
- Illumination: Internally lit or spotlighted signs add lighting and wiring. Foundation and permits: Footings, site prep, and city permit fees all factor into the total.
These figures are estimates to help you budget, not a formal quote. Instant Signs offers fair market pricing and will price match competitors, so the best way to learn what your monument sign will cost is to request a free, no-obligation quote.
Types of Monument Signs
No two entrances are the same, so Instant Signs builds several styles of monument signs to fit your site and budget:
- Single-face monuments: A one-sided sign for entrances where traffic approaches from a single direction.
- Double-face monuments: Two-sided signs that catch drivers coming from both directions on a busy road.
- Illuminated monuments: Internally lit or spotlighted signs that stay visible after dark. Instant Signs uses LED lighting to illuminate these signs, backed by a five-year warranty on the LEDs.
- Multi-tenant directory monuments: Panel systems that list several businesses in a shopping center or office park.
Not sure which style fits? Our team will recommend the right option during your free consultation.
Monument Signs vs. Pylon (Pole) Signs
Both are freestanding signs, but they solve different problems. A monument sign sits low to the ground and reads as permanent and upscale, which suits business parks and campuses. A pylon (pole) sign is raised high on one or two poles so it can be seen from the freeway or across a large parking lot.
If your goal is curb-level branding and a refined entrance, a monument sign is usually the right call. If you need maximum height and long-distance visibility, a pylon sign may serve you better. Instant Signs designs and installs many types of permanent signs will help you choose during a free consultation. Many multi-tenant properties even combine the two, using a tall pylon at the street and smaller monument markers at each driveway.
Where Monument Signs Make the Biggest Impact
A freestanding sign at the street does the most work where first impressions and easy navigation matter. Instant Signs builds monument signs for businesses and communities across Orange County and Los Angeles County, including:
- Corporate offices and business parks that need a professional entrance marker
- Retail centers and shopping plazas with multi-tenant directories
- Medical and dental campuses that guide patients to the right entrance
- Churches and schools that welcome visitors to their grounds.
Whatever your setting, Instant Signs delivers a durable sign and dependable installation from a single licensed team.
Caring for Your Monument Sign
A well-built monument sign is a long-term investment, and a little upkeep keeps it looking sharp for years. Masonry and metal structures hold up well outdoors, but finishes, paint, and lighting can wear over time.
Instant Signs services and repairs the signs we build, as well as signs from other companies. From repainting and panel replacement to fixing illumination, our team keeps your freestanding sign representing your brand at its best. Ask about a maintenance check when you request your quote.
Service and Repairs
Instant Signs does not just handle ground-up monument signs. If your business’s existing sign requires repair or general service, our team is ready to serve you. Whether you need work on an interior or exterior business sign, we will take care of it all.

We are so pleased to share with you, our review of Instant Signs Cypress LLC!

Our annual fundraiser is an Off-Road Poker Run, lunch and raffle. We started using Instant Signs in 2014. Each year they put together a banner with all of our sponsor logo’s and they provide us with all of our directional signs, informational signs and flags that we use to mark our course. We have been beyond satisfied with everything they’ve ever done for us! The quality of their product is superior and we have never had any issues with their products or workmanship. They have always completed the work requested on time or early and with absolutely no mistakes. Their pricing is extremely reasonable and affordable. We would highly recommend Instant Signs to any business or group that is need of quality signs, banners etc… Lastly, our point of contact has been Shelley Iniquez. We can not express our gratitude enough for the tremendous customer service she has provided us throughout the years. She has great industry knowledge and has been able to effectively guide us through every decision we’ve needed to make.

The BEST sign shop in all of Orange County! I got some great looking stickers for my band and they had great customer service, were super easy to work with and even suggested a few changes to what I wanted to make it come out better than I thought. The final product was super quality!!!! Definitely using them again.Posted on Google![]()

Dan and his crew just recently did signage for the new location of Wilshire Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and thank goodness they did because we moved from a huge landmark building on the Miracle Mile in LA to a very cool but very difficult to find space in the Holmes Building - So the Dan and his crew came and hung a bright and noticeable sign on the outside of the parking garage and wrapped one wall at our entrance with a huge sign - no doubt where we are now! They also made some amazing outdoor flags which leave _absolutely no doubt_! Thanks Guys for continually pleasing our DOC Churches in the Southland!
