            which led them to choose a franchisee that was a
            woman, veteran, and disabled-owned business.

            letters and logos, vertically mounted on the side
            of the building . Exterior plank siding required
            FASTSIGNS to think creatively in how to hang the
            heavy dimensional sign for long-term stability. They
            also had to ensure that no drilled holes would allow
            moisture inside the building .


            The team also managed the permitting process and
            paid careful attention to the municipality formula
            to ensure the sign permits would be fully approved .
            FASTSIGNS also had to be precise in finding a color
            that would match the building’s exterior . For the
            headquarters’ monument sign, the team
            manufactured and installed a DiNoc exterior wrap
            around the base, complemented by dimensional letters,
            providing a striking entrance to the new facility. Inside
