713-662-3123
Houston Sign Company makes interior signs for Houston businesses: lobby signs and dimensional letters, ADA room signs, wayfinding and directional signs, office and suite signs, and wall graphics. We design, fabricate and install them in-house from our shop at 5801 Chimney Rock Rd, and we have made signs in Houston since 1946.
Simple printed and foam board signs can be ready in two to three business days. Dimensional acrylic, metal and engraved signs typically take seven to ten business days. Call 713-662-3123 or request a free quote online, and tell us what the signs are for, where they go and when you need them.
Interior Business Signs for Houston Offices, Clinics and Retail
Interior business signs are the signs inside your building: the logo in the lobby, the suite and room signs, the ADA signs on permanent rooms, the directional signs in the halls and the graphics on the walls. Which ones you need depends on who comes through the door.
- Offices. A lobby logo wall, suite and conference room signs, and interior office signs with slide-in inserts that change when your team does.
- Clinics and medical offices. ADA room signs with raised characters and Braille, patient-facing directional signs, and wall graphics for waiting areas.
- Retail and restaurants. Floor decals for queue lines and promotions, point-of-purchase displays at the counter, and wall murals on the sales floor or in the dining room.
- Property managers. Suite identification signs and lobby directory boards built with frames and inserts, so a new tenant does not mean a new sign.
Houston humidity and hard-running air conditioning can loosen adhesives and warp some substrates, so we factor climate into every material recommendation for commercial interior signage. Whether you need one sign or custom indoor business signs for a whole floor, we design the set as one family so every sign looks like it belongs in your building.
Custom Interior Signs We Make in Houston
We make custom interior signs to order, not from a fixed catalog, so you can combine materials and sign types in one project. Most indoor business signs fall into the types below.
Lobby Signs and Dimensional Letters
Lobby signs and dimensional letters put your logo on the wall behind reception. We make them in acrylic (clear, frosted or colored) and in brushed aluminum with laser-cut lettering, mounted on standoffs or with adhesive.
A logo wall can be a single panel of custom acrylic with printed or painted graphics, or individual dimensional letters in acrylic or brushed aluminum. We install office lobby signs ourselves, including the standoffs and surface preparation. Dimensional acrylic and metal signs typically take seven to ten business days.
Office and Suite Signs
Interior office signs cover nameplates, suite numbers, room labels, conference room signs and lobby directory boards. They take daily handling and have to change when your team does, so we build them as slide-in frames, engraved plaques or printed inserts, depending on how often the names change. See custom office signs for more, or our guide to the six types of interior signs every office needs.
ADA Room Signs
Signs that identify permanent rooms and spaces, such as restrooms, room numbers and exit stairs, need raised characters duplicated in Braille under section 216.2 of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Our ADA-compliant signs are made to those standards for tactile characters, Braille, contrast and mounting height, and we match them to the rest of your interior signage.
Wayfinding and Directional Signs
Wayfinding signs get visitors from the front door to the right suite without stopping to ask. In multi-floor offices, clinics and shopping centers, we plan directional and wayfinding signs as one family, from the lobby directory to the arrow at the end of the hall. Our wayfinding signage guide explains how to plan a system for your building.
Wall Graphics and Environmental Graphics
Wall graphics turn a blank wall into branding: full-wall murals, branded hallways, mission statements and conference room feature walls. They install clean and come off when your lease ends or your brand changes. See wall graphics and environmental graphics for examples.
Floor Decals
Floor decals mark queue lines, direct foot traffic and carry promotions on retail floors. We print them on laminated vinyl that is slip-resistant and made for high-traffic floors.
Laser-Engraved Signs
Laser engraving gives executive nameplates, award plaques and architectural door signs a permanent finish on metal, acrylic or wood.
Foam Board Signs
Foam board signs are for short-term needs: a seasonal promotion, an event display or a sign that will change within six months. They are light and easy to move. Keep them away from moisture and HVAC vents.
Displays, Posters and Trade Show Graphics
We also make point-of-purchase displays (countertop signs, shelf talkers and freestanding displays), posters and canvas prints framed or mounted ready to hang, and portable trade show displays for shows at the George R. Brown Convention Center.
How Much Do Interior Signs Cost in Houston?
The cost of an interior sign comes down to six things: size, material, mounting, ADA requirements, installation and quantity. We quote each project once we know those, and the quote is free.
- Size. A larger sign face uses more material and takes longer to make.
- Material. Foam board is the budget option for short-term signs. Brushed aluminum costs more than acrylic, but it outlasts almost everything else.
- Mounting. Standoffs, mounting hardware or adhesive, depending on the sign and the wall surface.
- ADA requirements. Room signs need raised characters and Braille, which a printed sign does not.
- Installation. Simple signs can ship ready to hang. Dimensional lobby signs, full-wall graphics and wayfinding systems are installed by our team.
- Quantity. A single nameplate and a matched set of signs for every room on a floor are priced as different jobs.
For a longer breakdown, read how much to budget for custom interior signage and custom vs. standard interior signage. To get a number for your project, send us the sign sizes, where they will hang and your logo file.
Choosing a Material for Indoor Signs
The right material depends on where the sign hangs, how long it needs to last and your budget. Here is how the four main options compare for custom indoor signage in Houston offices and shops.
Acrylic
Acrylic is the standard choice for lobbies, reception areas and suite signs. It is rigid, comes clear, frosted or colored, and holds printed or painted graphics. It handles Houston humidity without warping.
Aluminum and Metal
Metal and aluminum signs suit executive suites, law and financial offices, and lobby branding. Brushed aluminum with laser-cut lettering is a popular lobby choice. It is heavier and costs more than acrylic, and it outlasts almost everything else.
Vinyl
Vinyl goes on walls as full-color murals, on floors as wayfinding graphics, on glass as frosted privacy film and on rigid panels as printed overlays. It is removable, which suits leased space. In Houston humidity, surface preparation decides whether vinyl stays put, so our installers prep the surface first.
Foam Board
Foam board is for short timelines and tight budgets: temporary promotions, event signs and anything that will change within six months. Keep it out of high-moisture areas and away from HVAC vents and heavy contact.
Interior Signage for Houston Industries
We make commercial interior signs for offices, clinics, shops, schools, rental buildings and event venues across Houston. This is what each usually asks for.
Healthcare and Medical Offices
Medical offices and clinics near the Texas Medical Center and across Houston need ADA room signs, patient-facing directional signs and wall graphics for waiting areas. A patient who cannot find the right department is already stressed, so wayfinding comes first. See medical office signs.
Energy and Corporate Offices
Corporate offices downtown and along the Energy Corridor ask for lobby logo walls, executive nameplates, conference room signs and large-format environmental graphics. As corporate interior sign makers, we work from your brand standards: we color-match to Pantone and CMYK specifications and license or match your typefaces.
Retail and Restaurants
Retail and restaurant signs do sales work: point-of-purchase displays at checkout, promotional posters for seasonal items and wall murals that set the room. We make interior signage for Houston restaurants, boutiques and retail chains across the metro.
Education
Schools, community colleges and universities need classroom signs, department directories, safety signs and campus wayfinding that meet ADA requirements and hold up to a school day.
Property Management
Building owners and property managers need suite signs, lobby directory boards and tenant directories that change as tenants do. Our frame-and-insert systems let you update a name without ordering a new sign.
Events and Hospitality
Hotels, venues and event organizers need temporary branded signs, directional signs for multi-day events and trade show displays. We build the production schedule around your event date.
How an Interior Sign Project Works
- Consultation and quote. Tell us what you need, where it goes, and your timeline and budget. We ask about wall material, lighting and brand standards up front, so nothing changes during fabrication. Call 713-662-3123 or request a quote online.
- Design proof. Our design team sends a digital proof of the finished sign. Nothing is made until you approve it.
- Fabrication. We build every sign in our Houston shop on Chimney Rock Road.
- Delivery or installation. Simple signs ship ready to hang. Dimensional lobby signs, full-wall graphics and wayfinding systems are installed by our team, including standoffs, adhesive mounting and surface preparation.
Choosing an Interior Signage Company in Houston
Interior signage companies describe themselves the same way. These five questions have answers you can check before you sign anything.
- Who makes the sign? We fabricate in our own shop at 5801 Chimney Rock Rd, and we have made signs in Houston since 1946. Ask any company whether the work stays in house or gets brokered out.
- Who owns the ADA specification? Signs that identify permanent rooms and spaces have to meet the 2010 ADA Standards: raised characters, Braille, contrast and set mounting heights. We hold that spec on your job. Details are on our ADA and Braille signs page.
- Who installs, and what does installation cover? Our own team handles surface preparation, alignment, mounting and cleanup, with standoffs, wall clamps, drill holes or adhesive depending on the sign and the wall.
- Do you see a proof first? You get a digital proof of the finished sign, and nothing is cut or printed until you approve it.
- Is the lead time in writing? Two to three business days for printed and foam board work, seven to ten for dimensional acrylic, metal and engraved signs, and a scoped schedule for environmental graphics once we know square footage and site access.
We work across Houston and the metro, including Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Katy, Pearland, Pasadena and Missouri City. Put those questions to every company on your list. Ours come answered with the quote.
What to Send Us for an Interior Sign Quote
Six things let us price an interior sign project without coming back with questions.
- What each sign has to say, and what it is for: a lobby logo, a suite number, a room identification sign.
- Where it hangs, and what the wall is made of. Tell us if the space is leased, because removable vinyl may be the better answer there.
- Sizes, or a photo of the wall with something in the frame for scale.
- Your logo as a vector file, in AI, EPS or PDF. For raster artwork, check our print resolution guide first.
- Brand colors as Pantone or CMYK values, and the typeface. We color-match to those specifications.
- The date the signs have to be on the wall.
From there you get a quote with a realistic timeline, then a proof to approve before fabrication. Send the list through our quote form, or call 713-662-3123, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
If the same opening or event also needs signs outside, those need no quote. Choose size and quantity for coroplast yard signs or coroplast campaign signs on our store and the price shows before you order.
