Ground-mounted monument signs anchor your property identity at the curb. We design, fabricate, and install monuments in stone, stucco, and aluminum across Colorado.
A monument sign is a low-profile, ground-mounted business sign — typically 4 to 8 feet tall — that sits at the entrance to a property or development. Because monuments are read by drivers from the street rather than by pedestrians at the door, they're the right sign type whenever your building is set back from the road, behind a parking lot, or part of a multi-tenant development where individual storefronts can't be seen from the curb. Office parks, medical complexes, churches, schools, dealerships, and retail centers across Denver and Colorado rely on monument signs as their primary identifier.
We build monuments three ways. (1) Fabricated aluminum — the fastest, lightest, and most affordable option, with a powder-coated or painted finish that holds up well in Colorado weather. (2) Stucco-over-frame — gives you a substantial masonry look at a lower cost than real stone, with the freedom to color-match your building. (3) Stone or brick veneer — the premium choice, hand-laid to match your campus architecture, used for class-A office parks, high-end retail, and signature corporate addresses. Each style can be internally illuminated with LED-backlit panels, push-through acrylic letters, or external goose-neck fixtures.
If you operate or own a retail center, medical campus, or multi-tenant office building, a tenant-panel monument lets every tenant get visible exposure from the street while keeping a single cohesive structure. We design panel inserts that can be swapped as tenants change without rebuilding the monument — typically 4 to 12 tenant slots depending on the size of the cabinet. This is the most cost-effective long-term solution for property managers across the Denver metro.
Monuments require both a sign permit and a building permit in most Colorado jurisdictions because they include a concrete footing and an electrical service. We handle both. Our engineered drawings include structural calcs for wind load (typically 90 mph in the Front Range), foundation specs sized to your soil report, and electrical schematics for the LED system. The whole approval cycle typically runs 4–8 weeks depending on the city.

Aluminum monuments start around $8,000–$15,000 installed; stucco monuments $15,000–$30,000; stone-veneer monuments $25,000–$60,000+. Cost drivers are size, illumination, foundation work, and trenching distance for power.
Yes — we're a turnkey contractor. We pour the engineered footing, trench in conduit, pull a licensed electrician for the service tie-in, and commission the lighting. You don't manage multiple trades.
Absolutely. We can site-measure an existing monument, replicate the construction, colors, and lighting, and produce a matched companion sign for a new location.
From contract to lit-and-final, expect 6–10 weeks. Most of that is permitting and footing cure time; the on-site install itself is usually 1–2 days.
