Trust the Experience of Swift Signs – Our Process
Free Consultation
The first step towards your unique sign is a free consultation with one of our knowledgeable experts. We come to you, take a few photos and measurements and really get to understand what it is you are looking for to promote your business and attract customers. We then help with suggestions that suit your business, the application/building and your budget.
Sign Design – We Create Detailed Proofs for Your Review
With acceptance of our quote, it is onto the next step! This is where your ideas are in the hands of our graphic design team who will study your requirements and any files you may have sent over for ideas. This will give them a feel for your company’s branding, allowing them to create a design that captures the tone of your business and best utilizes the space available. Once our designers have something they are happy with, we provide a detailed proof for you to review.
This step not only creates a visual representation of the work to be completed and what the signage will look like when installed, it also allows you the opportunity to make changes to the final design prior to manufacturing.
Permits – We Will Apply for You
Every municipality has specific signage bylaws, and most require a permit before installation. Our team is well-versed in these bylaws and can assist you in determining if a permit is necessary. If a permit is needed, we fill out the application form, create all renderings and the required elevations drawings, and submit or apply in person on your behalf. This eliminates your time commitment and frustration that can sometimes be associated with obtaining municipal approval for your signage. Once we receive confirmation that your permit application has been approved, we will notify you promptly and then get started with production.

Manufacturing
Sign fabrication is completed in our local facility so we can oversee your project from start to finish. We pride ourselves on our quick turnaround time and producing products that are manufactured to the highest of standards. CSA certification is available on all of our illuminated sign products.
SIGN INSTALLATION – SAFE INSTALLATIONS BY CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS
Having a sign that looks great is one thing, but for a sign to really make a great first impression of your business, it must be installed properly. We have a dedicated sign installation team that ensures the end product reflects the quality of the design, with attractive finishing. Our certified technicians have years of experience and will effectively survey your site and building, determine the appropriate hardware that is needed and then complete the installation correctly and safely.
Repairs & Sign Service – Sign Not Lighting Up?
The first impression your customers have of your company is your outdoor signage. Ensuring your signs are properly lit is important in maintaining a professional image. Our technicians are trained to quickly diagnose any problem and deliver ‘swift’, accurate service. We can replace fluorescent lamps, failed ballasts, most LED lighting as well as LED power supplies. We can even retro-fit your old sign cabinet with new energy efficient, bright LED lighting.
