Bold Outdoor Signs That Bring Customers to Your Door

Storefront, Monument & Channel Letter Signs in Wake Forest

Your outdoor sign is often the first thing people see before they ever walk through your door. A clear, well-built sign tells drivers and passersby who you are, helps new customers find you and keeps advertising for you day and night.



At Custom Signs Inc., our family-owned team designs and builds outdoor signs for businesses, churches, schools, construction sites and neighborhoods across Wake Forest and nearby communities. Projects range from small yard signs to illuminated channel letters and full monument signs, and our team handles installation so you don't have to coordinate with a separate contractor.

How to Choose the Right Outdoor Sign

Style, Lighting, Durability & Local Codes

The Right Sign Type for Your Property

A storefront might call for raceway channel letters, while an office park or neighborhood entrance is better suited to a monument sign. We'll help you pick a style that fits your building and your budget.

Illuminated or Non-Illuminated

Illuminated channel letters keep your name visible after dark, which matters if your customers drive by in the evening. Non-lit signs work well for daytime businesses and entrances.

Materials Built for the Elements

Outdoor signs face sun, heat, rain and wind year-round. We use durable materials so your sign holds its color and shape for years.

Designed With Local Codes in Mind

Most towns have rules about outdoor sign size and placement. We design with local signage codes in mind so your project moves forward smoothly.

Outdoor Sign Questions
