Custom Monument Signs in Vancouver, BC
There’s a reason so many businesses choose a monument sign for their property. Low to the ground, built solid, and impossible to miss — it’s the kind of sign that says a business is established, not passing through. If you’ve got a bit of frontage and want something that looks like it belongs there, this is usually the answer.
We design, build, and install custom monument signs for businesses across Surrey and the wider Lower Mainland. Like everything else we make, it’s handled start to finish by our own team — design, permits, fabrication, and install — so you’re not chasing three different companies to get one sign in the ground.
So What Exactly Is a Monument Sign?
A monument sign is a freestanding, ground-mounted sign, usually low profile and built on a solid base rather than raised up on a pole like a pylon sign. That base is often finished in stone, brick, stucco, or metal panelling to match the building it belongs to, which is part of why monument signage tends to feel more permanent and upscale than other exterior sign types.
You’ll typically see monument signs used for:
- Office parks, medical buildings, and professional services with a bit of setback from the road
- Multi-tenant properties needing a shared entrance sign for several businesses
- Residential developments and gated communities marking an entrance
- Schools, community centres, and municipal properties
- Retail plazas that want a lower, more landscaped look than a tall pylon sign
Most monument signs include illumination, either internally lit or ground-lit with spotlights, so the sign keeps working after the sun goes down.

Monument Signage
We Build It to Actually Look Permanent
A monument sign only does its job if it looks like it was built to last, not bolted together in a weekend. We take the base material seriously — matching it to your building’s finish where it makes sense — so the sign reads as part of the property, not an afterthought sitting in front of it.

One Team, From Footings to Final Coat
A monument sign involves more moving parts than most people expect — structural footings, masonry or panel work, electrical for illumination, and the sign face itself. Because our team handles all of it in-house, nothing gets lost in the handoff between a contractor, an electrician, and a separate sign shop. One team builds your commercial exterior signs, start to finish.

We Know What Surrey Actually Requires
Monument signs almost always need a permit, and often a structural sign-off too, since they’re a real built structure, not just a panel on a wall. Because we build outdoor business signs in Surrey regularly, we already know what the municipality is going to ask for, which saves you the back-and-forth that trips up businesses working with an out-of-town sign company.
