An Impressive Entrance

How a business looks when you first see it can affect how many customers it gets. If they don’t like how it looks, they might choose to go to another place that seems more professional, high-quality, or focused on what they offer. And no business wants that.

Therefore, our goal with our monument signs is to make them attractive and catch people’s attention so they pick you once they see your storefront.

Whether you pick aluminum, concrete, marble, brick, or stone as the main material of your monument sign, we’ll make sure it will be designed to make people take a second look at your business. For example, places like hospitals and universities typically go for a classic and elegant look.

We suggest putting names and info on the sign itself. But if you want a modern feel, we have digital message centers with LED screens to show images. This upgrade makes your monument sign visible at night, staying dynamic and attractive 24/7.

Multi-Tenant Monument Signs

One of the common groups of customers we serve with monument signs is multi-tenancy, or places where many businesses share one area or building. In such cases, the names and logos of the businesses are shown from the top of the sign to the bottom, so even the ones inside the building can be seen from outside.

Malls, offices, and industrial parks are some spots that often use monument signs. Many add lights so the sign can be seen all day, especially if some businesses are open at night. Also, a common choice for such clients is putting the monument sign near the road where it can be seen more clearly.

For a powerful upgrade, you can even ask us to add digital displays to your sign. This way, you can use animations and videos to spread your message around town.

Custom Signs for Every Budget

Monument signs are designed to be tough. Only the strongest raw materials available are used to create such signs as a standard. This can sometimes make them a bit more expensive compared to other types of signs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s a monument sign and where is it typically used?

A monument sign is a freestanding, ground-mounted sign with a solid base — usually built from masonry, EIFS, or aluminum cabinet construction. They’re commonly used at the entrances of office parks, retail centers, multi-tenant commercial properties, churches, schools, and corporate campuses where a low-profile, architectural sign is preferred over a tall pylon.

How tall can a monument sign be in Wisconsin?

Maximum height varies by municipality and zoning district, but most Wisconsin commercial zones cap monument signs between 6 and 10 feet tall. Some municipalities also limit total sign area in square feet. We pull the local code as part of the design process so the sign meets requirements before fabrication starts.

Do monument signs need illumination?

Not always — but most modern monument signs are illuminated for after-dark visibility. The two common methods are internal illumination (lit cabinet faces with LED modules behind translucent acrylic) and external illumination (ground-mounted floodlights aimed up at a non-illuminated monument). Internal illumination is more common for retail; external is often preferred for architectural masonry monuments.

Can monument signs include a digital message center (EMC)?

Yes — an Electronic Message Center is a popular option adder that lets you display real-time updates, rotating promotions, and images right on the sign. EMCs are typically integrated into the monument cabinet and controlled remotely so your team can update content without a service call. Pricing varies with EMC size and whether the display is single- or double-sided, generally ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 on top of the base monument. Wisconsin municipalities have specific rules on EMC brightness, dwell time, and animation, which we design around as part of the project.

What materials do you use for monument signs?

We build monument signs in three common configurations: aluminum cabinet construction (most cost-effective and weather-durable), EIFS-clad foam core (allows architectural detailing at a lower cost than masonry), and full masonry with stone, brick, or stucco veneer (highest-end). The choice depends on budget, design intent, and how the monument needs to relate visually to the building.

What’s the foundation and installation process for a monument sign?

Most monument signs require a poured concrete footing extending below the frost line — typically 4 feet deep in Wisconsin to prevent heaving. The sign cabinet or structure is anchored to the footing, electrical service is trenched in if illumination is included, and the surrounding area is restored. Installation usually takes 1 to 3 days on-site after the footing has cured.

Can a monument sign include multiple businesses (multi-tenant)?

Yes. Multi-tenant monument signs are designed with a primary identifier (the property name) and individual tenant panels that can be replaced as tenants change. We design the panels for easy swap-out so leasing turnover doesn’t require modifying the entire sign. This is one of the most common monument sign formats for office parks and retail strips.

How much do monument signs cost?

Most monument sign projects in Greater Milwaukee fall between $8,000 and $40,000 fully installed, depending on size, materials, illumination, and foundation requirements. A simple aluminum cabinet monument is at the lower end; a fully masonry-clad multi-tenant monument with engineered illumination is at the upper end. We provide itemized quotes after a site visit.
