Richmond has established clear signage guidelines to maintain the city's visual appeal. For residential areas, we keep signs under 1.20 m² with height below 1.20 m, including window signs and plaques. When working with business properties, our team can install signs up to 3.50 m² while carefully following specific window and directional sign regulations. We ensure signs remain at 0.30 m² or smaller for construction sites, removing them promptly upon project completion.
Our team balances maximum visibility with Richmond’s regulations when positioning your signs. To meet local standards, we position all signs below roof levels, keeping them within one foot from walls and respecting street rights-of-way. Our installation process maintains ten feet of clearance from curbs and five feet from walkways. For your temporary signage needs, we ensure five-foot spacing from right-of-way while adhering to all height and size specifications.
Material Specifications
To ensure lasting quality, we select premium materials for every sign installation. Working with your preferences, our team incorporates sign faces using plastic, paint, or channel letters, all measured precisely in metric units. We provide detailed specifications covering sign boxes, pole supports, and bases for your peace of mind. Our specialists apply protective paint to all non-galvanized components to prevent rust and deterioration. Throughout the installation process, we maintain professional standards while meeting all BC Building Code 2025 requirements.
