Business Signs in Airdrie
Airdrie is just north of Calgary along Highway 2, and we make and install signs for businesses there. One company handles the whole job: the design, the build in our Calgary workshop and the installation on your building.

What Airdrie Businesses Usually Order
A storefront facing a busy road and a unit inside a plaza need different signs. These are the ones we are asked about most:
Channel letter signs
Individual 3D letters, front-lit, halo-lit or non-illuminated. Standard front-lit letters start from CAD $12 per inch of letter height, per letter, plus GST. See channel letter signs.
Light boxes (cabinet signs)
A full logo on one evenly lit face. If your unit already has a cabinet, we can renew it instead of building a new one. See light boxes.
Interior logos
Reception and office logo signs for the wall behind the front desk. See interior logo signs.
Reading Distance on Wider Roads
Customers often see Airdrie businesses from a car, not from the sidewalk. Letters that look large on a drawing can be hard to read from a passing car on the far side of a parking lot.
Before the design is approved, we check the letter height against the distance your customers will read it from. The guide how to choose letter height explains the rule we use.
Sign Rules in Airdrie
Airdrie sets its own sign rules in its Land Use Bylaw; Calgary’s rules do not apply. The City’s sign regulations page says the rules cover “how to get a sign permit, types of signs that do and don’t need a permit” (checked 2026-10-30). The same page notes that work on a proposed update of the sign regulations has been suspended, so the current bylaw still applies.
We handle all the sign permit paperwork: we prepare the drawings, specifications and documents and submit the application on your behalf. If you prefer to apply yourself, you get the complete package from us, ready to submit. The documents follow Airdrie’s requirements, and in a plaza they also follow the landlord’s sign criteria.

Send your logo, a photo of the building and the address. We will propose the sign and the size that read well from the road.
Travel, Timeline and Installation
Outside Calgary, a site visit before the contract is signed costs CAD $100 plus GST, and we credit it toward your order if you go ahead. Visits after the contract is signed are free. Tell us the address up front and the site visit and installation day are planned around it.
Production takes about two weeks. Installation of a new sign is quoted separately, at about CAD $100 per hour plus GST, and can be done outside your opening hours. Every new sign carries a 2-year warranty, in Airdrie the same as in Calgary.
Airdrie Sign Questions
Yes. We design and build the sign in our Calgary workshop and install it in Airdrie with our own team.
It depends on the sign. Airdrie’s Land Use Bylaw sets which signs need a permit. We check this for your sign and handle all the permit paperwork.
