Custom Post and Panel Signs for Business & Real Estate In Milwaukee
Whether you need a permanent entrance marker for your business or a temporary site sign for a construction project, post and panel signs offer the perfect balance of visibility and affordability. We design, fabricate, and install custom systems that withstand Milwaukee’s weather while elevating your brand.
Versatile Signage for Every Industry
The Workhorse of Exterior Branding: Post and panel signs are one of the most versatile and cost-effective forms of exterior signage available. They are the ideal solution for business identification, commercial real estate signs, and campus wayfinding. Unlike monument signs that require a large masonry foundation, sign posts can be installed quickly and often without heavy excavation, making them a favorite for businesses that need high visibility on a tighter timeline.
Built to Last in Wisconsin: As your local experts for “post and panel signs in Milwaukee,” we understand the local climate. We design systems using rust-proof aluminum, rot-resistant woods, and UV-stable vinyls that maintain their color and structural integrity through freezing winters and humid summers.
Choose the Right System for Your Project
Aluminum & Metal Systems
The gold standard for long-term business signs. We use rust-proof aluminum sign posts and panels that can be laser-cut for precision or powder-coated to match your brand colors. These are ideal for corporate offices, banks, and hospitals where a sleek, maintenance-free look is required.
MDO & Wood Signs
The go-to choice for commercial real estate signs and construction site signs. We use durable MDO (Medium Density Overlay) plywood or PVC, mounted on pressure-treated wood posts, to create large, double-sided displays that advertise “For Lease,” “Coming Soon,” or project details.
PVC & Vinyl Panel Signs
A cost-effective, weather-resistant option. We apply high-quality vinyl graphics to a rigid sign panel, creating a clean look that is more durable than wood but less expensive than metal.
Wayfinding & Directional Series
Perfect for hospitals, schools, and business parks. We design cohesive wayfinding post signs to direct traffic to parking, main entrances, and deliveries, ensuring a smooth visitor experience.

FAQs About Custom Post & Panel Signs
What is the difference between a post and panel sign and a monument sign?
A post and panel sign typically consists of two posts holding a visible sign panel between them, leaving open space underneath. They are generally more cost-effective and faster to install than a monument sign, which is a solid, low-profile structure built from masonry or foam that sits directly on the ground.
Are your post and panel signs weather-resistant?
Absolutely. For permanent signs, we use aluminum or composite materials that are rust-proof and rot-resistant. For temporary posted signs or real estate signs, we use durable MDO wood or PVC that is sealed to withstand Milwaukee’s rain, snow, and wind.
Can post and panel signs be double-sided?
Yes, in fact, most post and panel signs are designed to be double-sided. Because they are typically installed perpendicular to the road (like a blade sign), a double-sided panel ensures you capture the attention of traffic moving in both directions.
Can I replace just the sign panel if my information changes?
Yes! This is one of the biggest advantages of post & panel signs. If your tenant changes or you rebrand, we can often remove the old sign panel and install a new one on your existing sign posts, making it a budget-friendly option for updates.
Do I need a permit for a post and panel sign?
In most cases, yes. Permanent sign posts installed in the ground typically require a permit to ensure they meet setback and height regulations. As your local sign partner, we handle the permitting process for you to ensure your custom post and panel signs are fully compliant.
How are these signs installed?
Proper installation is critical for safety and wind resistance. We dig post holes to the required depth (often below the frost line) and secure the posts with concrete. For construction site signs or temporary needs, we can use direct burial or specialized ground stakes depending on the soil conditions and duration of the project.
