"Our electronic-message-centers were nightmares. Even though they were only 2 years old the manufacturer refused to service them."
Major Vincent, Salvation Army
"Our LED electronic-message-center which cost us over $28,000 failed when it was 2 weeks old. The company that installed it refuses to repair it - saying it can't be fixed. The manufacturer refuses to fix it also. Please repair or replace it."
Mark McCarthy, Harvest Christian Fellowship (We had to replace it, they had to sue the manufacturer and installer.)

Cost Information
"How much money should I budget for a new sign?"
The following estimates are based on information on the Pricing page that proceeded this page and includes all features. It is a ball-park "budget" estimate of the general cost of an installed sign.

One-color interior 12" x 80" wall or window signs are about $4,000.
One-color exterior wall 4' x 8' signs are approximately $12,000.
One-color double-faced 15" x 8' exterior signs (one line of text) for a pole, pylon, or monument sign add approximately $11,000.
One-color exterior double-faced 3' x 8' signs (two or three lines of text) for a pole, pylon, or monument sign add about $17,500.

Signs on Time™ Lease
Signs Manufacturing does not lease signs, but we do work with leasing companies that do!
How would you like to get a $10,000 sign for only $214 a month, or a $50,000 sign for $1,121 a month?
If you want to lease or lease/purchase, rather than purchase your signage outright, and need help in arranging a lease, please let us know.
Our leasing companies can combine our signage with other equipment you need in one lease or lease/purchase package. Equipment such as point-of-sale computerized cash-register systems, telephone systems, security systems, manufacturing machinery, etc. can all be leased.

Our invoices are the controlling part of a “Separated Contract.” In the instances above we will provide you with an invoice which is written to reflect Texas Sales/Use Taxes for the materials only.
Because of the 2008 Economic Stimulus Act the Federal Government allows businesses to directly deduct up to $250,000 from their income for capital investment; only amounts over this must be depreciated, and under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) the depreciation deduction can be as high as 1/3 of the cost.
These deductions apply to purchases of assets that are used to operate your business. Things like SIGNS!
At a 28% income tax rate you could reduce your tax bill by up to $70,000!
The full cost of applicable items is deductible whether-or-not the item has been fully paid for.
If you finance, or lease/purchase a sign you could write off the full purchase price this year while only paying 12 (or fewer) payments. This year your sign payments may be entirely reimbursed by the government thru reduced taxes, possibly with money left over.
We are obviously not tax consultants, this is what our CPAs tell us. Check with your tax professional or visit the Internal Revenue Service website at www.irs.gov.
