How We Work

Four Services. One Seamless Pipeline.

Most sign companies hand off pieces of your project to different vendors — one for design, another for permits, a third for installation. That means delays, miscommunication, and finger pointing when something goes wrong.

At AVI Design, one team handles everything. Design, permitting, fabrication, installation, and ongoing maintenance all happen under one roof. When Rodrigo says “yes, we can do it,” he means his team will do it — start to finish, no exceptions.

This is how we’ve operated for over 22 years, and it’s why businesses across New Jersey trust us with their most visible investment — the sign that represents their brand every single day.

Custom Design

Collaborative Design That Gets It Right the First Time

Your sign is the face of your business — it deserves more than a template. Rodrigo and the design team work directly with every customer to understand your brand, your vision, and the physical space your sign will occupy.

Visit the AVI Design showroom in Nutley, NJ to see materials up close — aluminum finishes, acrylic colors, LED lighting options, fabric samples for awnings. Touch it, compare it, and make an informed decision before a single dollar is committed.

Before fabrication begins, you’ll receive detailed digital renderings and mockups showing exactly how your sign will look on your building. We handle Pantone color matching, custom font reproduction, and precise logo recreation to ensure your brand is represented exactly as intended.

  • In-person showroom consultations
  • Digital renderings before fabrication
  • Pantone color matching & brand accuracy
  • Custom fonts and logo reproduction
  • Material and LED option selection

Professional Installation

Installed Right. Every Time.

A sign is only as good as its installation. AVI Design’s licensed, insured crews handle every type of installation — from storefront channel letters to large-scale monument signs and structural awnings.

Our teams manage electrical connections for illuminated signs, structural mounting for monument signs and heavy awnings, and use crane and lift equipment for large installations that demand precision and safety.

When the job is done, we don’t just walk away. Every installation includes a clean site and a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything looks and functions exactly as planned.

Permitting & Compliance

We Handle the Permits So You Don’t Have To

Sign permits in New Jersey vary wildly from one town to the next. Different forms, different requirements, different timelines — and a mistake on the application can cost you weeks. Most business owners dread this part of the process.

AVI Design takes it off your plate entirely. We prepare permit applications and technical drawings, handle zoning compliance review, file for variances when needed, and follow up with the municipality until your permit is approved and inspections are passed.

With 22+ years of experience, we’ve worked with every major NJ municipality. We know the rules, we know the people, and we know how to get your permit approved without delays. This is one of the biggest reasons customers choose AVI Design over competitors.

  • Full permit applications and technical drawings
  • Zoning compliance review
  • Variance filing when required
  • Municipal follow-ups and inspections
  • Experience with every major NJ municipality

*Zoning compliance review and variance filing may incur additional charges.

Maintenance & Repairs

Keep Your Sign Looking Its Best

Signs and awnings take a beating from New Jersey weather — sun, rain, wind, snow, and salt air. Without regular maintenance, even the best sign will start to fade, flicker, or deteriorate. AVI Design offers comprehensive maintenance programs to protect your investment.

From LED module replacement and awning fabric re-covering to storm damage repair and complete sign refurbishment — we handle it all. We also retrofit older fluorescent signs with energy-efficient LED, saving you money on electricity while giving your sign a modern, bright look.

Whether we built your sign or someone else did, our team can diagnose the issue and get it fixed fast. Your sign is working for you 24/7 — it deserves a maintenance partner that responds just as quickly.

  • LED module replacement
  • Awning fabric replacement & re-covering

Reviews

The Service Experience

Real feedback from customers who experienced our end-to-end process firsthand.

The design process was incredibly collaborative. Rodrigo sat with us, understood our brand, and created something we're genuinely proud of. It wasn't a sales pitch, it was a creative partnership from start to finish.

Angela R.
Business Owner · Montclair, NJ

We manage multiple properties and need sign installations done on time, every time. AVI Design has never missed a deadline. Their crews show up when they say they will, and the work is always clean and professional.

Thomas G.
Property Manager · Paramus, NJ

The permit process in Hoboken is notoriously difficult. AVI Design handled everything, the application, the variance, the follow-ups with the city. We didn't have to step foot in city hall. Worth every penny.

Marco P.
Restaurant Owner · Hoboken, NJ

As a GC, I need subcontractors who communicate and hit their dates. AVI Design coordinated with our construction schedule perfectly. Permits pulled independently, installed on the exact day we agreed. They're my permanent sign vendor now.

Steven H.
General Contractor · Hackensack, NJ

Walking into their showroom sold me immediately. Being able to see materials, touch the finishes, and compare LED options in person made the decision so much easier. The final sign looks exactly like what we picked out together.

Priya K.
Dentist · Nutley, NJ

Two of our sign letters went dark after a storm. I called AVI Design on a Monday morning and they had a crew out by Wednesday. Fast, professional, and they explained exactly what happened so we could prevent it. Great maintenance response.

Michelle V.
Retail Store Owner · Clifton, NJ

Running multiple franchise locations means I don't have time to manage separate vendors for design, permits, and installation. AVI Design handles it all. One call, one team, one invoice. That end-to-end service is invaluable.

Carlos M.
Franchise Operator · Bloomfield, NJ

We hired AVI Design for a residential awning installation. The crew was incredibly professional. They protected our landscaping, worked efficiently, and the finished product looks like it was always part of the house. Highly recommend.

Jennifer L.
Homeowner · Wayne, NJ

We needed a full vehicle wrap for our tow truck and new channel letters for the shop. AVI Design handled both projects at the same time and the results were outstanding. Our phone started ringing more the week the sign went up.

David N.
Auto Shop Owner · Newark, NJ

Rodrigo came to my space, took measurements, and walked me through every option from LED neon to dimensional letters. No pressure at all. The final piece is beautiful and my clients photograph it constantly.

Karen W.
Salon Owner · Morristown, NJ

Our building needed updated lobby signage across three floors. AVI Design delivered clean, modern dimensional letters that match our brand guidelines perfectly. The installation crew was in and out with zero disruption to our tenants.

Raymond F.
Office Manager · Jersey City, NJ

From the custom awning over our entrance to the window graphics with our hours, AVI Design made our little bakery look like a destination. Neighbors who walked past for years started coming in because the new storefront caught their eye.
