Research Review: The Importance Of Sign Repair And Maintenance

Just as nobody’s thrilled to pay property taxes and utility bills, nobody gets excited to pay sign repair and maintenance fees, but they’re equally essential to keep your business up and running.

And this isn’t marketing hyperbole—the importance of sign repair and maintenance is borne out by countless peer-reviewed studies. For example, according to a recent report by the Interdisciplinary Journal of Signage and Wayfinding, well over 1-in-3 (41.5%) of consumers use signage as the basis for quality assumptions about your business, and more than 8-in-10 (85.7%) agree that signage conveys the brand’s personality or character (Kellaris & Machleit, 2016). So unless you want a brand image based on crumbling facades, peeling paint, faded colors, and burnt-out bulbs, you’ll want to invest in sign upkeep.

Fortunately, unlike property tax and utility bills, sign repair and maintenance is extremely affordable—some will only cost you a bit of elbow grease—and it can directly boost your bottom line.

When To Book Sign Repair And Maintenance In Baltimore, MD

Most day-to-day sign repair and maintenance is DIY-friendly, and it won’t cost you a penny. However, if you spot any of the following signs of sign degradation, you should call in a professional:

1. Burnt out bulbs—Many bulbs are easy to change, but you’ll need to make sure you choose replacements with the correct voltage rating and code-compliant luminance levels, all of which our team can assist you with. Additionally, if your bulb replacement requires work at heights, disassembly, or electrical know-how, you should definitely leave it to the pros.
2. Deteriorating paint or fading colors—If your sign has worn past the point where a simple cleaning will bring the colors back to life, you’ll need to make sure to perfectly match the color of the paint or materials in question, and our sign repair and maintenance experts make it easy.
3. Structural damage—If you spot signs of structural damage, call a sign repair and maintenance specialist right away. Not only are you at risk of sign code non-compliance fees, but structural problems also put employees and customers in danger.
4. Broken sign panels—Broken sign panels look shoddy, and the longer you delay, the worse the problem will get. Even if you ordered your sign from someplace else, our sign repair and maintenance experts carry all of the most popular sign types and materials, so you’ll never have to wait on deliveries or settle for an imperfect match.
