It Happens..

| Tagged With Graffiti |
Whether it is a deliberate act of vandalism or an unexpected weather event, signs get damaged. There is nothing more frustrating than discovering that your business sign has been damaged beyond recognition. More than the frustration of receiving sign damage, is the expense of replacing the damaged sign with a new one. Frequently, we see business owners who did not even give much thought to establishing their first business sign, much less a replacement sign. Purchasing signs, whether at the beginning of a business or after a sign mishap, can be a pricey proposition.

The Good News
The good news is that most businesses will have insurance coverage of their sign(s) either through a Business Owners Policy, or from a policy which covers the building or business personal property/building contents. This coverage is typically between $5000.00 ~ $10,000, but can be increased as needed.
Prevention Of Damage
Depending upon the type of sign that we are fabricating, there are some preventative measures that will help to avoid having to replace a sign if the sign has been vandalized. For instance, one of our customers is a very large school district. As we all know, the combination of kids, free time and spray paint can yield an undesired outcome of "tagged" signage. For those environments, we frequently apply an anti-graffiti coating to most of the signs we install.

| Laminate Can Be Sprayed On or Applied As A Vinyl Laminate |
For certain types of signage we can apply an Anti-Graffitti laminate over the top of the sign-face. It looks no different than a sign that does not have a laminate finish. An anti-graffiti laminate allows the sign owner to simply wipe off the spray paint that was sprayed on top of the sign. There is an extra charge to apply this specialty laminate over the sign-face, but the added expense is far less than having to bear the cost of a full sign replacement. In certain locations that may be prone to a large amount of vandalism, it may be prudent to add an anti-graffiti laminate where possible.

Additionally, we can use tamper-proof hardware and sign covers when necessary. There is no full-proof way to ensure that a sign(s) will not be tagged or taken. Having insurance is the best way to ensure that you are able to replace a sign(s) if needed.
