Design and Planning
We work closely with architects, contractors, designers and business owners to design signage that incorporates a building's design or architecture of the surrounding area.
Fabrication
Signage is fabricated using a variety of sources across the United States to best suit the client's needs. Many times, multiple fabricators are used for one design to ensure quality and uniqueness.
Installation
Our company is OSHA compliant and can install both interior and exterior signage.
ABOUT
Architectural Specialties is an architectural and design firm which specializes in design-build signage projects. Today, sign systems serve as a vital and integral part of facilities planning to establish identity and to aid people in finding their way. Factors of great importance include style, legibility, letter form, spacing, symbols, color, format, and placement of graphics.
Our work is a combination of professional design and planning services combined with the production and installation of signs which implement those designs. Members of the firm also act as consultants to other architectural and design firms when dealing with complex signage projects such as banks, hospitals, commercial projects, churches, schools, libraries and countless other projects including corporate offices, professional and industrial offices, site development, and governmental complexes.
