In-house, start to finish
Your channel letters never leave our hands
Many Edmonton sign companies order letters from an out-of-province manufacturer and mark them up. We do all five stages ourselves at 9828 44 Ave NW, Edmonton — design, fabrication, LED wiring, assembly and installation. That means tighter quality control, honest timelines and one shop responsible for the finished sign.
We design it
Our designers set the letterforms, depth and colours, then mock the sign onto a photo of your building so you see it before anything is cut.
We fabricate it
Aluminum returns are formed, welded and painted and acrylic faces are trimmed to your letterforms on our own benches in Edmonton.
We wire it
LED modules and Alberta-rated power supplies are laid out and wired by our own electricians' bench for even light and easy servicing.
We assemble it
Every set is fully assembled, powered up and inspected in the shop before it ever goes on a truck.
We install it
Our own crew installs with lift equipment, makes the connections and confirms the whole sign lights evenly at night.
We service it
The shop that built your sign is minutes away — not in another province — if a module or power supply ever needs attention.
Options
Illuminated channel letter styles we build
02
Halo-lit (backlit) channel letters
A soft glow thrown behind each letter for an upscale look. Popular with boutiques, clinics, restaurants and professional offices across Edmonton.
03
Raceway-mounted & flush-mounted channel letters
We match the mounting to your building and your landlord's sign criteria — raceway-mounted channel letters on a backer or raceway, flush-mounted letters with concealed wiring, or individual letter mounts.
04
Custom logos and shapes
Your logo can be built as a channel letter too. We form custom shapes, push-through acrylic and combination face-lit and halo-lit sets.
Every set above is built, wired and assembled in our Edmonton shop — whether you need face-lit channel letters, halo-lit channel letters, raceway-mounted sets or flush-mounted letters. Not sure a channel letter set is the right fit? Our custom signs in Edmonton page covers pylon signs, illuminated cabinets, building signage and interior office signs — all built in the same shop. For flat-mounted work, see our building signs in Edmonton page.

Questions
Channel letter signs: common questions
- How much do channel letter signs cost in Edmonton?
- Price depends on letter height, return depth, illumination and how the set mounts to your building. A small face-lit storefront set is a different job from a large halo-lit sign that needs engineering, a permit and a lift crew. Send your logo and the wall dimensions and we will quote the exact build — and we beat any comparable written quote by 5%.
- Do I need a permit for a channel letter sign in Edmonton?
- Almost always. Illuminated exterior signage in Edmonton needs a development or sign permit, and most landlords have their own sign criteria on top of that. We prepare the scaled drawing package, submit it to the City of Edmonton on your behalf and book installation once approval comes back.
- What is the difference between face-lit and halo-lit channel letters?
- Face-lit (front-lit) channel letters glow through an acrylic face — the classic bright storefront look with the best visibility from the road. Halo-lit (backlit or reverse-lit) letters have solid metal faces and throw a soft glow onto the wall behind them, which reads as more upscale. We build both, and combination sets that do each at once.
- How long does a channel letter sign take?
- Fabrication in our Edmonton shop typically runs a couple of weeks once artwork is approved. The overall timeline usually depends on permit approval rather than manufacturing, because we build in-house instead of waiting on an out-of-province supplier.
- Do you install the signs yourselves?
- Yes. Our own crew installs with lift equipment, makes the electrical connections and confirms every module lights evenly before leaving. Because we designed, fabricated and wired the sign, any future service call comes back to the same shop.
- Can you repair or reface channel letters you did not build?
- Yes. We retrofit old fluorescent letters to LED, replace faded or cracked acrylic faces, repaint returns and repair wiring and power supplies for buildings across Edmonton and the surrounding region.
