Monument Signs That Define Your Property’s Entrance
Ground-level, freestanding, and built to last decades. Designed, permitted, fabricated, and installed by one team — so you never have to coordinate multiple vendors.
What Are Monument Signs
The Gold Standard for Property Identification
Monument signs are ground-level, freestanding structures typically placed at building entrances, property lines, or roadside locations. Unlike pole signs or wall-mounted signage, monument signs sit close to the ground — creating a permanent, substantial presence that conveys stability and professionalism.
Built from durable materials like stone, brick, aluminum, foam with stucco finish, and concrete, monument signs are designed to complement your building’s architecture while providing clear identification for visitors, tenants, and customers. They work equally well for single businesses and multi-tenant properties.
At AVI Design, every monument sign is custom-designed and built to match your property’s aesthetic. From material selection and structural engineering to municipal permitting and installation — we handle the entire process so you don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors.

Types
Monument Sign Styles We Build
Every property has different needs. We design and fabricate monument signs in multiple styles to match your building and brand.
Illuminated
LED-illuminated monument signs with channel letters, push-through graphics, or external spotlights. Maximum visibility day and night — the most popular choice for commercial properties.
Non-Illuminated
Elegant freestanding signs in stone, brick, or stucco without lighting. A cost-effective option favored by HOA communities, churches, and properties where illumination isn’t required or permitted.
Multi-Tenant Directory
Directory monuments with interchangeable tenant panels for shopping centers, office parks, and mixed-use developments. Designed for easy updates when tenants change.
Digital / LED
Monument signs with integrated LED message boards or full-color digital displays. Perfect for churches, schools, and businesses that need to update messaging frequently.

Monument Sign FAQ
How much do monument signs cost?
Pricing depends on size, materials (stone, brick, aluminum, stucco), illumination type, structural requirements, and permitting. Every project is custom-quoted. Contact us for a free site visit and detailed proposal — no obligation.
Do I need a permit for a monument sign in NJ?
Yes — most NJ municipalities require sign permits for monument signs. Requirements vary by town, sign size, setback from the property line, height, and zoning district. We handle the entire permitting process for you, including drawings, applications, and any required variances.
What are the size regulations for monument signs?
Size regulations vary by municipality and zoning district. Most towns regulate height, width, total square footage, and setback from the property line. We review your local sign code and design within the allowable parameters — or apply for a variance when needed.
How long does the monument sign process take?
Typical turnaround from approved design to installation is 6–10 weeks depending on materials and complexity. Permitting timelines vary by municipality and can add 2–8 weeks. We provide a clear timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout.
What materials are used and how durable are they?
Monument signs are built with stone, brick, aluminum, foam with stucco finish, or concrete. All materials are weather-resistant and built to withstand New Jersey’s climate. With proper construction, a monument sign lasts 15–20+ years with minimal maintenance.
What illumination options are available?
Options include internally illuminated channel letters, LED-lit push-through graphics, external ground-mounted spotlights, backlit halo letters, and full-color digital LED displays. We help you choose the best option based on your budget, location, and local regulations.
