You could have the best LED sign on the planet, but if your installation isn’t on-point, nobody’s going to see it—and it could even end up costing you money.

As per Section 24-212 of the Gaithersburg Code of Ordinances, “it is unlawful for any person to post, display, structurally alter, install, or erect a sign in the city without first having obtained a sign permit.”
And if your sign requires a permit, you’re also responsible for ensuring that it is built according to the Design Guidelines in Section 24-210(3).
Finally, if you’re using an LED sign, you must meet all of the sign lighting requirements listed in Section 24-210A, which state that:
If you fall short of these responsibilities, it could cost you. Not only will you be fined, but you’ll also be forced to pay for sign removal and remediation.
But when you work with the Rockville Sign Company, you’ve got nothing to worry about. We’ll take care of your LED sign permit, and we’ll keep your design, illumination, and installation on-track, too, every step of the way.
Even the most incredible LED sign design will fall flat if it’s not properly installed. Our team can help you find the right viewing angle, setback, height, and position for optimal visibility.
Of course, poor visibility is not the only risk of amateur installation. Improper installation can be dangerous for passing pedestrians and motorists, too. What’s more, many LED sign installations require electrification. Unless you’re a trained electrician or sign installer, do not D.I.Y. It’s not worth getting zapped or putting your community at risk, especially when we offer full installation with every LED sign order.
Your LED sign does not exist in a vacuum; local audiences will read it in the context of the larger signscape, which comprises both the signage used by the competition and the rest of your own sign system.
For best results with your LED sign display, consider the surrounding signscape as you scout out potential sites for your installation, and remember: the less visual clutter there is around your LED sign, the more passing audiences will engage with your marketing message.
