TESTIMONIALS

We reached out to a number of vendors to assist us with our HOA project of two new entrance signs. We found that Apex was the superior vendor in every critical factor we deemed necessary for success. Apex’s team of graphic designers and communication personnel were all exemplary. The signs were produced and installed on time and the final product was better than we anticipated.
Ron Russo

Getting people in the door of your business is challenging enough but positive first impressions is critical in keeping customers. I have worked with Apex Signs & Graphics on several projects since we opened and every experience has been awesome!

Chris Hunter

Working with Apex was an absolute dream. When I began looking for wraps I had a lot of recommendations to several shops in the area. I had worked on my graphic for some time and was feeling very particular to work with somebody that would give me advice and guidance along the way. Matt was extremely helpful, quick to respond, and wildly knowledgeable. I was beyond satisfied when it came to the customer service and guidance through the process prior to dropping my van off.

Eric Wendt

Apex did a wonderful job for us, actually multiple jobs, the service was exceptional and the graphics turned out better than we could have hoped for. They are pros who know their business. Highly recommended.

Bill Daker

Always A+ service from the first consult, through design and of course installation. We have had vans lettered, vinyl lettering done on glass as well as our new building sign all done through Zhuming and her amazing team at Apex. Honestly We have worked with a number of vendors over the 40 years in business but have found Apex to deliver high quality products and services at a fair price. Great communication throughout the whole process time and time again.

Curtis Herchenbach

Apex is our go to for commercial building signage. Great customer service and pricing, with a quick turn time!

Misty Melvin

This HAS to be your ‘go-to’ place for signs and graphics. If you need a quality product, done right by people who know what they’re talking about, not to mention the customer service, then this should be your first call. No lie…my firm’s experience with them was that good. Shaun and Zhuming made working with them in the future an easy decision.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Absolutely! In fact, monument signs are one of our favorite challenges to tackle. From concept to design, and then fabrication to installation, we can provide monuments signs of all shapes and sizes.

Pylon signs generally stand more than 20 feet tall and identify several stores or organizations within one location, such as a shopping center or an office building. Unless your business is managing or developing these shopping centers or office parks, you probably won’t need to purchase and install a pylon sign on your own. You may, however, be asked to provide logos and graphics so that your business can be properly identified on the pylon sign.

A digital sign can be as simple as a scrolling message and as complex as a fully illustrated, dynamic billboard. However large, small, simple, or complex, Apex Signs and Graphics can help with digital sign design and installation.

Cabinet signs consist of a metal frame with an acrylic face. The acrylic face is custom printed or cut vinyl is applied to the face to create your specific message. This allows you to truly express your creativity and brand personality. Apex Signs and Graphics creates all types of cabinet signs, as large as those used on pylon signs and as small as those that might sit on a desk.

Cabinet signs can be all types of shapes, with the most common being rectangular and round. They can be mounted flush with a building or perpendicular to the building in the increasingly popular blade sign style.

While we specialize in wrapping fleets for advertising, we really can wrap any kind of vehicle. We’ve wrapped Hummers, vans, trucks, golf carts, go karts, buses, and boats. We can also wrap things that aren’t vehicles! Contact us with your request, and let’s get to work.

Directory signage provides information about the location of a specific building, office, store, or room. This may involve a list of entities within the building, complex, or shopping center along with a floor number and room number, a building name or number, or store name. Directory signage often includes a map with directions to the location users seek.

Wayfinding signage directs the user along their way, with location information and arrows or additional descriptors to guide the user to their destination. Most use directory signage and wayfinding signage together to make navigation as easy as possible.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) governs the installation of signage that offers equal accessibility to your business for individuals with visual impairments. The actual application of these rules gets confusing for small business owners because some companies may be exempt from the implementation of the law. We recommend contacting our experts before you place your order to discuss the ADA signs you need as well as the room ID and nameplate markers that do not have to comply.
