Equipment Used / Tools: Sign design software, fabrication machinery, lighting systems, installation equipment
Team: Professional crew

The Challenge
Replacing a community entrance sign isn’t just about picking something pretty. Chris needed guidance through design options, coordination with his HOA board, and someone who could handle permits, fabrication, and installation without dropping the ball.
Main Challenges
- Picking a design residents would love that stayed within budget.
- Managing permits and installation logistics without headaches.
- Making sure the new sign increased property value and visibility.
“Our Condominium Association in Michigan City, IN wanted to replace our old worn out wood sign with a new monument sign that also lit up at night. As President of our HOA I met with many sign companies and received quotes and sign designs. One of the companies was Legacy Sign located in Westville, IN. My contact person was Larry Yurko. We decided to move forward with Legacy Signs, not because off price, but because they seem to provide a full service experience during the whole process. From start to final installation we had a great experience with this company and they provided everything they said they would do. Our sign was delivered and installed a few weeks ago and everyone loves it!!! The new sign looks great and adds value to our owners and property values. I highly recommend Legacy Signs.”
— Chris, Michigan City HOA President
Good to Know
Here’s a stat worth knowing. 48% of shoppers walk into a business because of its sign. And 88% make unplanned purchases thanks to effective signage. Monument signs aren’t decorative fluff… they pull visibility and boost property appeal in real, measurable ways.
Our Solution
Step 1
We met with Chris and the HOA board. Talked through their vision. Then we presented several monument sign designs with different lighting options.
Step 2
Our team engineered the chosen design for durability, knocked out all the permitting paperwork, and scheduled installation around their timeline.
Step 3
We fabricated the sign using quality materials and integrated energy-efficient lighting so it'd look sharp at night without running up electric bills.
Step 4
Our crew installed the sign on schedule. Made sure it was anchored securely. Then we gave the HOA maintenance guidance so they'd know how to keep it looking fresh.
