What drives the price up or down
- Number of floors.
Each floor needs a number, and big buildings mark both stairs and elevators.
- Building features.
Boiler rooms, stabilized units and enclosed stairs each add signs.
- Custom design.
Matching colors, logos or finishes cost more than standard signs. See custom lobby signs.
Cheap now vs cheap later
A $10 paper notice that falls down twice a year, plus a violation to fix and certify, ends up costing more than a durable sign that stays up for years. See which materials last and what's in a sign package.
