Custom Metal Signs & Business Logos

Installation Options

We fabricate our signs in such a way to make installation easy.

Installation for Every Sign Type

All of our signs include detailed installation instructions to make the installation process as easy as possible. If you can assemble IKEA furniture, you are more than capable of installing one of our signs!

However, ShieldCo can also help arrange for installation, but it is usually best for the client to identify a trust worth installer in their area.

Nationwide Coverage

While we pack and ship our beautiful artwork across the country, and we have a strong list of qualified installers to draw from, we can’t guarantee we can find the right installer for your project outside of our Maryland region. There are just too many factors to consider. We are willing to help find and vet installers in your area.

For French Cleats

This is our preferred method. Signs that can be installed with a french cleat will have one half of the french cleat attached to the back of the sign. You will mount the other half to the wall with screws and anchors. Finally, the wall cleat and the sign cleat interlock by holding the sign above the cleat and lowering it into place. Voila! The sign is installed!

For exterior signs, we include tabs at the bottom of the sign that can be screwed into the wall to ensure the sign doesn’t lift off of the cleat.

Stud Mounting – Individual Pieces

The sign components are mounted directly onto the wall using a paper template as a guide. The template is first hung on the wall and carefully leveled. Pilot holes are then drilled at the marked locations on the template. You want to use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the all-thread. Next, all-thread stems are screwed into the back of the individual sign pieces, which are then pressed into the wall at the drilled locations.

For exterior signs it is recommended to use silicone or adhesive in the hole that will receive the threaded step to hold it securely in place.

For Custom Brackets

For signs that can’t be installed with a french cleat or aren’t able to be individually stud mounted, we can fabricate a bracket or framework to make the installation process as easy as possible.

For this custom bracket installation, it is common for us to need very exact dimensions to make sure our bracket will work in your area. For example, the measurement between cement pads, or the heights of an area above a doorway. All things we can handle 🙂

Customer Reviews

See what our customers are saying.

Wonderful experience with expert skilled artisans. I would highly recommend this business to anyone looking for a unique, one of a kind product from a staff that is responsive, timely and well worth the investment.

Excellent service, great product, quick turn around time. Have 4 retail stores, Shieldco has provided signs for two of our stores. Hands down the best metal design and product on the market. Thanks guys.

I have to say that our sign stands out from our neighbors. It’s sleek, simple, and it has a world-class feel to it. Best of all, Luke and the team at ShieldCo delivers a phenomenal customer service experience. Definitely a value driven company!

Excellent workmanship and customer service! These guys delivered a beautiful custom metal storefront sign for my small business. Durable and eye catching. I’ll definitely use them again for my next custom signage project.

ShieldCo did a wonderful job on our signage for both of our dental offices. We had a very large order with a total of 13 signs ranging from small to very large. They kept us in the loop throughout the fabrication process and did a GREAT job packing everything for shipping. We have gotten multiple compliments about out sign and we will be ordering some signs for interior use in near future. Highly recommend

Everything worked out great. The customer service was excellent and the shipping process was seamless. They took EXTRA care to make sure my sign was packaged properly and delivered on time. I love the final product. Would definitely recommend!

From design and feedback to iterations, production, and delivery—ShieldCo gave me an outstanding experience. Their custom signage was also incredibly easy to install. I highly recommend them for their quality, professionalism, and seamless service!

We had a great experience working with Ian during our very specific search for a custom sign. As a remodeling company, our needs were a bit out of the ordinary, and we spent quite a bit of time collaborating with him to get it just right. Ian was patient, responsive, and willing to pivot when we presented an alternative plan for a sample. That flexibility resulted in a win-win for both parties – a deposit on a solid order and a new repeat customer.

If you’re looking for a sign company that takes the time to understand your vision and won’t stop until it’s exactly what you want, we highly recommend ShieldCo. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is exactly how all businesses should operate!

I search everywhere locally in GA and could not find anyone to take my design and turn it into my vision. Then I found ShiedCo online. I asked for it to be cut out of metal. They suggested adding the copper plate behind it. The quality is outstanding. I added my own lights, they would have done a better job I’m sure, but that was my call. Still, it turned out exactly what I wanted.
I gave it to my husband for Christmas for our basement bar. The bar is being built in June but here it is on the wall waiting for the bar to open.

The City of Las Vegas is proud to add Shield Co to our list of “go to” vendors. From the beginning of the project to delivery the experience was top notch. The staff was very helpful at every step of the process. We were able to achieve what we were looking for and then some. ShieldCo’s signs will hang for years to come. The quality is well above expectations.

We are extremely happy with our sign! Right off the bat, Erin was a pleasure to work with. She took our logo and came up with a beautiful design. I appreciated that we were provided with a 3D rending along with the initial quote, which allowed me to easily present to my leadership team for fast approval. The sign is of great quality and looks absolutely beautiful. The owner, Luke, even reached out to me personally to check in on my experience and make sure I was happy with the final product.

I ordered a sign for our church and it came out so beautiful! They worked with the design to fit our budget and achieve our goal… and it was worth every penny! 100% would work with them again when we need another sign!

Exceptional experience. These guys are top notch from the communication, to design and to delivery. We love the new sign and would definitely recommend their service’s.
