High-Quality Signs in Agoura Hills

Every business has a story, and your signage is often the first chapter people see. That’s why we create custom signs that fit your brand, your location, and your goals.

Channel Letter Signs

Channel letters are a top choice for business signage thanks to their three-dimensional design and bright illumination that makes them stand out day or night. Restaurants, shops, medical offices, and theaters all use them for maximum visibility.

We’ve installed channel letters across Agoura Hills, from storefronts in the Shops at Kanan Village to the Regency Theatres before it closed.

For more examples, visit our Channel Letter Signs Gallery or explore our Channel Letter Signs Guide to learn about styles and options.

Illuminated signs make your brand shine day and night. From glowing indoor signs like the one we created for Brown’s Top Shelf Meats to outdoor LED storefronts that stay visible after dark, light brings your business to life. Think of it as 24/7 advertising for your business.

See more examples in our Illuminated Signs Gallery, and explore our Illuminated Signs Guide to learn about the different lighting options and styles available.

Storefront Signs

Your storefront is your biggest advertisement, and the right sign makes all the difference. From bold channel letters to sleek dimensional logos, we design and install signs that boost visibility and reflect your brand. Businesses like Celé Wellness and Helmet House show how a custom storefront sign can make a lasting impression.

See more storefront sign examples in our Signs Galleries, and read our Storefront Signs Guide for styles, materials, and design ideas.

Restaurant Signs

Great restaurant signage creates curb appeal and draws diners in. From glowing channel letters to stylish blade signs and menu boards, we design signs that help restaurants stand out day and night.

A good example is Lal Mirch Indian Restaurant in Agoura Hills, where we created front-facing channel letters paired with a lightbox sign to boost visibility and showcase their brand.

The Lal Mirch location is a former Pizza Hut. The sign was straightforward, but because the roof is slightly slanted, the city required us to add a mansard to fit the sign in place. You can read about it more here.

Dimensional letters, also called 3D signs, are a budget-friendly way to add depth and style both indoors and outdoors. They deliver a polished look that lasts without stretching your budget.

We’ve created lobby signs for businesses like Massage Yini and Greater Ventura Oral & Facial Surgery, showing how dimensional letters can make a strong impression in professional settings.

Shopping Mall Signs

At the Shops at Kanan Village, every business has an illuminated storefront sign visible from both the road and parking lot, ensuring strong visibility for drivers and passersby.

In addition, there are hanging blade signs in front of each store. Positioned perpendicular to the entrances, these signs make it easy for shoppers to spot shops like Nail BLVD. and Emil’s Bakery while walking along the covered sidewalks.

These signs are paired throughout the mall to give it consistency and a sense of place.

Property Management Signs

In business parks and office complexes, signage does more than mark an address — it sets the tone for the entire property. We design and install property management signs that keep workplaces organized and professional, from parking lot wayfinding and directional signs to tenant directories and multi-tenant monument signs.

A good example is the office complex on Agoura Road, where we created a cohesive system of monument and wayfinding signs that unify the property’s identity. Clear, consistent signage like this helps employees, clients, and visitors find their way while reinforcing the image of a well-managed property.

See more examples in our Property Management Signs Gallery.

A great example is the “Coming Soon” window graphic we created for Go Fish Sushi Bar. The bold, branded design not only let the community know a new restaurant was opening but also gave a taste of the brand before doors even opened.

What is a Monument Sign?

A monument sign is a freestanding, ground-level structure that provides long-term visibility and brand recognition. Typically standing between 3 and 8 feet tall, these durable signs are constructed from brick, stone, metal, concrete, or high-density urethane (HDU).

Monument signs sit at eye level, making them exceptionally visible to pedestrians and drivers alike.

1 – Increased Visibility & Brand Recognition

Positioned at eye level, monument signs make it easier for customers and visitors to locate your business. This 24/7 visibility reinforces brand identity and helps establish your location.

2 – Professional & Prestigious Appearance

The low-profile design of monument signage—often crafted from sturdy materials—conveys permanence. Businesses with monument signs project an image of credibility and stability.

3 – Customization for Unique Branding

Add logos, dimensional lettering, custom color schemes, LED illumination, or digital displays. This versatility ensures your monument sign reflects your brands personality.

4 – Durability & Weather Resistance

Made from materials like concrete, brick, and stone, these signs can withstand harsh weather conditions for years—even decades—when well-maintained.

5 – Wayfinding & Navigation Assistance

Monument signs are critical for large complexes, shopping centers, hospitals, universities, and residential communities. Clear signage simplifies directions and reduces confusion.

6 – Nighttime Visibility

Illumination options—such as backlit panels, LED lighting, and halo-lit lettering—ensure your business remains visible after dark, enhancing both curb appeal and security.

7 – Compliance with Local Zoning Regulations

Many municipalities favor monument signs over taller pylon signs or billboards. Their lower height often meets local zoning requirements and community aesthetic guidelines more easily.

8 – Long-Term Cost Effectiveness

Monument signs are one-time investments that provide continuous exposure without monthly advertising fees. Their longevity translates to a better return on investment over time.

Want to enjoy these benefits for your business? Call Dave’s Signs at ‭(805) 641-1387‬ to discuss your custom monument sign options.

Monument Sign Design: 5 Key Factors

A well-designed monument sign enhances visibility, brand recognition, and impact. Consider these factors:

1 – Size & Scale

The sign should be large enough to be visible from the road without overwhelming the property. Check zoning regulations for height and width restrictions.

2 – Colors & Fonts

Use high-contrast color schemes for readability and avoid overly decorative fonts. Ensure the design aligns with your brand identity.

3 – Logos & Graphics

Keep logos proportional, use simple yet meaningful graphics, and maintain consistency with your branding and marketing materials.

4 – Lighting & Illumination

Consider backlit, halo-lit, or LED lighting for 24/7 visibility. Digital displays allow for dynamic content updates and improved nighttime readability.

5 – Placement & Landscaping

Position the sign unobstructed by trees or structures, and enhance curb appeal with landscaping elements like shrubs and decorative rocks. Ensure safe placement away from traffic or pedestrian pathways.

Monument Signage FAQs

Q: What is the difference between a freestanding sign and a monument sign?

A: A freestanding sign is any sign that stands on its own, supported by a structure rather than attached to a building. This includes pylon signs, post and panel signs, and monument signs.

A monument sign is a specific type of freestanding sign, typically low-profile, permanent, and made from durable materials like stone, brick, or metal, offering a professional, ground-level appearance.

Q: What is the difference between monument and pylon signs?

A: Monument signs are low-profile, typically 3–8 feet tall, designed for eye-level visibility and a professional appearance, making them ideal for corporate offices, schools, and residential communities.

In contrast, pylon signs are much taller (often 20+ feet) and built for long-distance visibility, commonly used by gas stations and hotels near highways.

Want to learn more about pylon signs? Check out: Pylon Signs: The Ultimate Guide.

Q: What is the difference between a marquee sign and a monument sign?

A: Monument signs are static, low-profile structures that provide permanent branding and are typically made from brick, stone, or metal. They are designed for long-term visibility and blend seamlessly with their surroundings.

Marquee signs, however, feature changeable letter boards or digital displays, making them ideal for theaters, churches, and event venues that frequently update messages. They offer a more dynamic way to communicate promotions, schedules, or announcements compared to monument signs.

Q: What is the difference between a post and panel sign and a monument sign?

A: Monument signs are permanent, durable structures made from brick, stone, or metal, designed for long-term branding and high visibility.

Post and panel signs are lighter, temporary, and cost-effective, often used for directional signage, real estate, or construction sites. They typically rely on external lighting, while monument signs can have built-in illumination.

The Complete Guide to Hanging Signs: Styles, Ideas & What to Know

If your business gets foot traffic, a hanging sign is one of the best ways to get noticed. These signs are designed to catch the eye of people walking by—and when done right, they make a strong first impression.

In this guide, we’ll break down what hanging signs are, how they differ from blade signs, and what options you have if you’re considering getting one custom-made.

What Is a Hanging Sign?

A hanging sign is a type of sign that sticks out from a wall or hangs down from a bracket, post, or ceiling. You’ll usually see them mounted perpendicular to a building, so they’re easy to spot from the sidewalk.

They work great in walkable areas like downtowns, shopping districts, and mixed-use centers.

They’re also super versatile—good for storefronts, lobbies, events, and even directional signage.

Blade Sign vs. Hanging Sign: What’s the Difference?

People often use the terms interchangeably, and there’s definitely overlap. But here’s the breakdown:

Blade signs are typically rigid and mounted directly to a building. They don’t swing or move.

Hanging signs can include blade signs but also cover signs that hang from chains or brackets and may have some motion.

In short, all blade signs are hanging signs, but not all hanging signs are blade signs.

For example, a traditional carved wood sign that swings gently from a decorative bracket would be considered a hanging sign, while a fixed, double-sided panel mounted perpendicular to the wall fits the blade sign category.

The 3 Types of Hanging Signs that Attract Foot Traffic

1 – Blade Signs

Blade signs are mounted directly to a building. These signs are double-sided and easy to spot from both directions on the sidewalk.

2 – Hanging Shop Signs

These signs usually hang from a decorative bracket and swing a bit in the breeze. They’re perfect for retail shops, boutiques, and cafes.

The small sign we made for Fleur de Rye in Ventura is simple and stylish. It fits the vibe and draws people in.

For HunterDouglas in Westlake Village, we went with a clean, rectangular hanging logo sign—modern, polished, and complements the buildings aesthetic.

3 – Combo Signs

Pair a hanging sign with wall-mounted letters or a large storefront sign for more visibility. It’s a smart way to cover foot and vehicle traffic at the same time. This creates a layered visual experience that catches the eye from different angles and distances.

Example:

Gandolfo’s Deli in Oxnard uses both a blade sign and large channel letters. One grabs attention from the sidewalk, the other from the parking lot. Together, they work.

Gandolfo's New York Deli in Oxnard Combo Sign uses both a projecting blade sign and channel letters on the storefront.

Outdoor Hanging Signs

If your sign’s going outside, materials matter. Go with options that handle sun, wind, and rain—like treated wood, MDO and HDO panel, powder-coated metal, or UV-protected acrylic.

We’ll also help with placement, mounting hardware, and making sure it’s up to code.

Custom Hanging Signs: Built for Your Brand

Your sign should do more than just say your name—it should reflect your style.

We’ll help you choose:

The right shape, size, and materials — for example, a bold rectangular metal sign for a brewery or a soft-edged wooden sign for a spa.

Fonts, logos, and brand colors — matched to your existing identity or refreshed with a new look.

Optional lighting for better visibility — like LED edge lighting or gooseneck fixtures for evening visibility.

Whether you want something traditional, modern, or totally unique, we’ve got you covered.

Installing a Hanging Sign

Once your design is finalized, the next step is getting it up safely and in compliance.

Installing a hanging sign might seem straightforward—but there’s more to it than picking a bracket and drilling into the wall. You’ve got to think about the surface you’re mounting to, how much the sign weighs, whether it’s exposed to wind, and what your city requires for permits and placement.

That’s why most businesses leave this part to the pros.

At Dave’s Signs, we handle everything behind the scenes—site surveys, permits, hardware, and installation—so your sign isn’t just secure, it’s also up to code and built to last.

We know what local ordinances allow (and what they don’t), and we’ll make sure everything’s done right the first time.

Quick FAQs

Can hanging signs be double-sided?

Yes, hanging signs are usually double-sided, so they can be seen from both directions on a sidewalk or walkway.

What are the best materials for outdoor hanging signs?

Are hanging signs good for indoor use?

Yes, hanging signs work great indoors, too. They’re often used for wayfinding, branding, or decor in offices, lobbies, and trade show booths.

How much do custom hanging signs cost?

The cost of a custom hanging sign depends on the size, material, and design. You can Request a Quote based on your specific needs.

Do I need a permit for a hanging sign?

What’s the difference between MDO and HDO for signs?

MDO (medium-density overlay) is great for painted signs with a smooth finish, while HDO (high-density overlay) is more durable and resistant to moisture—ideal for long-term outdoor use.

Can you light a hanging sign?

Yes, hanging signs can be illuminated with gooseneck lighting, backlighting, or even integrated LED elements for better visibility at night.

You’ll also see illuminated monument and pylon signs used at building entrances and along roadways to grab attention from a distance.

Below, we’ll walk through each of these illuminated sign types, explain how they work, and help you decide which one might be right for your business.

Channel Letters

Channel letters are three-dimensional, individually lit letters commonly used on storefronts, restaurants, office buildings, and shopping centers. Each letter has its own internal lighting, which creates a bold, illuminated effect—day or night.

These attractive signs are highly customizable in terms of font, color, size, and lighting style. You can choose from front-lit, backlit (halo-lit), or a combination of both to match your brand and location.

Channel letter signs are a popular choice for businesses that want a clean, professional look with strong visibility. They stand out on building facades and help your name get noticed from a distance.

Lightbox Signs aka Cabinets Signs

Maor Education + Community pole mounted lightbox sign in Los Angeles, CA.

Lightbox signs—also known as cabinet signs—are illuminated panels commonly used for retail stores, shopping centers, office complexes, and multi-tenant buildings. They feature a lit face with graphics or lettering that stays visible day and night.

These signs are often rectangular or square but can be custom-shaped to fit your brand. The face is typically made of acrylic or polycarbonate with printed graphics, and the internal lighting is usually energy-efficient LEDs.

Lightbox signs are a practical and versatile option for businesses that require strong visibility and easy-to-read messaging. They work well as wall-mounted signs or pole signs and are especially effective in areas with high traffic or limited lighting.

Dimensional Letters

Finney’s Crafthouse – Externally lit dimensional letters in Burbank, CA.

Dimensional letters add depth, texture, and a polished look to your signage—making them a great choice for businesses that want a professional appearance with visual impact.

These signs can be used indoors or outdoors and come in a wide range of materials, finishes, and mounting styles. Whether illuminated or not, they’re built to withstand the elements and maintain their look over time.

If lit up, they don’t have the space needed for internal electrical components, so they require external lighting, such as spot, gooseneck, or barn lighting.

Dimensional letters incorporate various signage elements and graphic elements, which are carefully designed and integrated to create a cohesive and professional look.

Often called 3d signs, they are also a more budget-friendly option than channel letters or neon signs.

Neon Signs

Neon signs are a timeless way to boost visibility and draw attention—especially in lively downtown areas where standing out matters. Their bright glow and vintage appeal make them hard to miss, even from a distance.

Whether you’re opening a restaurant, bar, or boutique, neon is a great way to showcase your brand personality. A custom neon sign can also highlight your marketing message in a fun, creative way that sticks with people long after they pass by.

Dave’s Signs can manage your entire signage project, ensuring all your business signage needs are met from design to installation.

1 – Stated Needs & Direction of Signage:

What are your specific needs and goals for your sign creation? Do you want to use it for wayfinding, branding, or security purposes (or all of the above)?

2 – Design & Planning:

Once you know what you want your signs to achieve, it’s time to start planning the design. Work with a professional sign company to create custom signs that meet your specific needs and budget.

3 – City Permitting & Approvals:

Depending on where your property is located, you may need to obtain approval from the city or county before installing any signage. Be sure to check with local authorities to avoid any delays or surprises.

4 – Fabrication & Installation:

Once your signs are designed and approved, it’s time to have them fabricated and installed. Again, working with a professional Los Angeles sign company – like Dave’s Signs – will ensure that the process goes smoothly and that your signs are installed correctly, and safely.

Following these steps will help ensure that your property management sign solution is a success.

Shopping mall signage plays a key role in shaping how your property is perceived. It affects everything from curb appeal to foot traffic—and can either invite people in or push them away.

Outdated or poorly maintained signs can make a center feel neglected, while clean, modern signage signals a well-managed, attractive place to shop.

Whether you’re updating a main monument sign, tenant panels, or wayfinding throughout the property, consistency and quality make a big impact.

For malls in competitive markets like Los Angeles, refreshed signage can enhance visibility, support leasing efforts, and elevate the overall customer experience.

Oftentimes architects and landlords will bring us in at the beginning to help them design a sign plan before submitting their plans to the city.

From concept to approval, we handle the details so you can focus on your business.

Sign Design

Great signage starts with thoughtful design. Whether you have a clear vision or just an idea, our experienced in-house graphic designers specialize in signs and can help bring it to life.

Effective sign design takes into account your message, audience, and environment. From layout and typography to color and material choices, every detail plays a role in how your sign performs.

Already working with branding guidelines? We’re used to collaborating with architects and marketing teams using design standards to ensure your signage stays consistent with your brand.

If you’re starting from scratch, we can help you brainstorm, build concepts, and choose the right materials to match your goals and budget. We can also help you design a complete sign system for your business—from storefront signs to interior wayfinding—that keeps everything cohesive and on-brand.

The result: signage that’s not only visually appealing, but also built to last and designed to deliver results.

When it comes to sign installation, experience matters. Our team handles everything from small storefront signs to large-scale projects on multi-story buildings—all across Los Angeles.

We provide professional sign installation for every type of sign, ensuring it’s safely mounted, code-compliant, and built to last. We also handle permit coordination with local jurisdictions to keep your project moving without delays.

For larger or high-elevation installs, we offer crane services and specialized equipment to ensure safe, efficient placement—even in complex environments.

We also accept ship-ins and frequently install signs manufactured by national sign companies or franchise brands. Whether it’s a single sign or part of a larger rollout, we make sure every installation is done right—start to finish.

Sign Repair & Restoration

From minor repairs to full restorations, sign repair takes precision, experience, and the right tools—especially when you’re working with classic signs that hold historical or visual significance.

One of our standout projects was restoring the Lido APTS neon sign in Los Angeles, famously featured on the Eagles’ Hotel California album. It’s a perfect example of how we bring signs back to life while preserving their character.

At our sign shop, we have the equipment and expertise to handle everything from small cracks to complex structural repairs. Our skilled team takes the time to do the job right—whether the sign is decades old like Ventura’s Mayfair Theatre sign or recently damaged.

We also offer on-site service throughout Los Angeles, including removal, transport, and reinstallation when needed. Every repair is handled with care to ensure your sign looks great and works the way it should.

If your sign needs repair or restoration, get in touch—we’ll be happy to help. You can even fill out our Sign Repair form online and we’ll get back to you shortly.
