The front door of the neighborhood
Residents drive past the entrance sign every day, and buyers judge the neighborhood by it. When the letters fade or the wood rots, it shows. HOA boards usually need a sign that looks good for decades, a price the budget can carry, and a design the members will actually approve at the next meeting.
We have built entrance signs for River Park, Oxford Hills, Murphy's Ridge, Brittany Trace and Reynolds Mill, and a pool sign for Holiday House Pool. That includes brick and stone monuments, plaques set into stone pillars and hanging signs on timber frames. We give your board drawings to vote on and handle the permit.
Many neighborhoods have more than one entrance, plus signs at the pool, the clubhouse and the trails. Designing them together keeps every sign in the community looking like it belongs to the same place.
What HOAs usually need
Entrance monuments
Brick or stone monuments and wall plaques at the main entrance, built to last as long as the neighborhood.
Timber frame and hanging signs
A carved sign hung in a heavy timber frame. A warm look that suits many Triangle neighborhoods.
Brick and stone signs
Masonry signs with dimensional letters or a carved panel, often lit with ground spotlights.
Pool and amenity signs
Post and panel signs for the pool, clubhouse, trails and playground, plus rule signs.
Sign repair and refacing
New plaques or letters on a sound old wall, refinished panels and lighting upgrades.

HOA sign questions
Can you replace just the sign on our existing entrance wall?
Yes. If the wall or pillars are sound, we can replace the plaque or letters, refinish the panel and add or upgrade lighting. It usually costs much less than a new monument.
Do HOA entrance signs need a permit?
Usually, yes. Raleigh and most nearby towns require a permit for permanent ground signs. We handle the permit as part of the job.
How much does a new neighborhood entrance sign cost?
A simple post and panel sign can start around $1,500. A custom brick or stone monument usually runs $5,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on size and lighting. We can give your board options at different price points.
What lasts longest outdoors?
Stone and brick last as long as the neighborhood. Carved HDU looks like wood or stone but does not rot, and aluminum and bronze hold their finish for years.
The sign sits near the road. Who owns that land?
Entrance signs are often in an easement or near the road right of way, which affects what can be built there. Check your plat or HOA documents, and we will look at placement during the site visit.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in North Raleigh and work across the Triangle, including Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Holly Springs, Garner, Morrisville and Fuquay-Varina.
