Custom Channel Letter Signs in Salt Lake City, UT
Elevate your storefront with premium front-lit, reverse halo-lit, and custom 3D illuminated channel letters. Engineered for Salt Lake Valley's extreme weather swings, fabricated locally in our shop with automated return benders, and installed with turnkey city permitting.
How We Build It: In-House Precision Manufacturing
Unlike brokerages that outsource letter manufacturing overseas or out-of-state, we build your channel letters inside our Salt Lake facility with computer-controlled automation and master craftsmen assembly.
Automated Return Benders
Our computerized flanging and return-bending machines shape 0.040" to 0.063" aluminum coils into flawless typographical curves and sharp corner notches, guaranteeing structural rigidity and clean letter returns.
CNC Aluminum Routing
High-precision multi-axis CNC routers cut 0.063" and 0.090" heavy-gauge aluminum letter backs and acrylic faces with microscopic accuracy, ensuring tight weather seals and seamless face attachment.
UL 48 Listed LED Architecture
We populate each letter with high-output, wide-angle optical lens LEDs rated for 100,000+ hours. Coupled with Mean Well IP67 power supplies, our letters emit zero dark spots and reduce energy draw by 70%.
Cast Acrylic & Trim-Cap Sealing
3/16" impact-modified UV-stabilized cast acrylic faces bonded with heavy-duty 1" UV-stable trim cap and silicone weather barriers, preventing water, dust, and spider infiltration during Wasatch winters.
Certified MIG/TIG Welding
Raceways, wireways, and custom mounting brackets are fabricated from structural extruded aluminum and certified TIG-welded in our shop, ensuring compliance with Utah seismic and high-wind structural requirements.
In-House Master Crane Installation
Our licensed crane operators and bucket truck fleet erect letters on high-rise parapets, multi-story facades, and shopping center raceways with precision electrical tie-in and final city inspection approval.
Illumination Styles & Mounting Methods

Navigating Salt Lake City Title 21A Sign Permitting
Salt Lake City's zoning code (Title 21A) regulates wall sign square footage based on your building's linear frontage, zoning district (Commercial, Manufacturing, Mixed-Use), and historical preservation guidelines.
1. Frontage & Square Footage Calculation
Under SLC Title 21A.46, wall signage is generally allocated at 1.5 to 2 sq ft of sign area per linear foot of building frontage. We calculate the exact mathematical maximum so your brand achieves the largest compliant display.
2. Structural & Electrical Wet Stamps
Our in-house design team produces structural mounting details, wind load engineering, and electrical load schematics stamped by a licensed Utah professional engineer.
3. Historical District Approvals
Special design standards apply in Sugar House, Capitol Hill, and Central City. We prepare historical review packages and present to the SLC Historic Landmark Commission when required.
4. Turnkey City Submission & Inspection
We submit directly through the Salt Lake City Citizen Access Portal to the Salt Lake City Planning and Zoning Division, coordinate with city plan checkers, schedule building/electrical inspections, and secure the final sign-off.
