Monument Signs

Make Your Entrance Unforgettable

Monument signs are ground-mounted freestanding structures placed at business entrances, shopping centers, business parks, and roadways. They establish a strong street presence, improve wayfinding, and lend credibility to any organization — from medical offices and churches to apartment complexes and corporate campuses.

Types We Fabricate

Illuminated Monument Signs

Internal LED or fluorescent lighting makes your monument sign visible around the clock — essential for high-traffic areas and roadside visibility.

Multi-Tenant Directory Signs

Accommodate multiple businesses or tenants in a single display — perfect for office parks, medical plazas, and strip centers. Individual panels can be updated independently.

Foam & Stone Veneer Monuments

High-density foam with masonry or stone finishes creates an upscale, architectural look at a fraction of the cost of real masonry construction.

Electronic Message Centers

Changeable LED reader boards allow real-time messaging — promotions, hours, announcements, and more. Full-color or single-color options available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a monument sign and a pylon sign?

A monument sign sits at or near ground level and is typically wider than it is tall — ideal for business parks, churches, and office complexes. A pylon sign is elevated on one or two poles, designed for maximum highway or roadway visibility. Both can be illuminated and customized to your branding.

How much does a monument sign cost in Orange County?

Monument sign pricing varies significantly based on size, material (foam veneer vs. masonry vs. aluminum), illumination, and foundation requirements. A basic single-tenant monument can start around $3,000–$5,000; larger multi-tenant or architecturally complex monuments can run $10,000–$30,000+. We provide free detailed quotes.

Do I need a permit for a monument sign?

Yes — monument signs almost always require permits from the city's planning and building departments. Some locations also require HOA or landlord approval, and illuminated signs require electrical permits. Anaheim Signs handles all permit applications and engineering submittals.

How long does monument sign installation take?

Fabrication takes 4–8 weeks depending on complexity. Permit approval varies by city — typically 2–6 weeks. Foundation work requires cure time before the sign is installed. We'll give you a complete project timeline upfront.

Can you update the tenant panels on my existing monument sign?

In most cases, yes. If your monument has a standard cabinet or insert system, we can update individual panels without replacing the entire structure. Contact us with photos of your existing sign for a quick assessment.

How do I know what size monument sign my city allows?

Sign size is governed by your city's municipal code — typically based on lot frontage, zoning class, and street type. In most Orange County cities, freestanding signs range from 6–25 feet tall with 20–80 sq. ft. of copy area. We research your specific zoning restrictions before design begins.
