Monument Signs are one of the highest-impact upgrades a Wheat Ridge business can make, and we install them every week across 38th Avenue, Wadsworth Boulevard, and the rest of Wheat Ridge. Wheat Ridge businesses benefit from LED signage that enhances visibility along major streets like Wadsworth and 38th Avenue. We help Wheat Ridge companies attract customers with professional signs.
From our Arvada shop we design, fabricate, permit, and install monument signs for Wheat Ridge — covering Wheat Ridge, Mountain View, Clear Creek, and every other Wheat Ridge neighborhood. Every install is backed by our 2-year materials-and-workmanship warranty.

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.

Yes — Monument Signs are a core service we install across Wheat Ridge and the surrounding Front Range, including Wheat Ridge, Mountain View, Clear Creek, Applewood. Crews are based in Arvada and travel daily to Wheat Ridge job sites.
Yes. We produce sealed drawings, submit the permit package to the appropriate Wheat Ridge jurisdiction, manage corrections, and pay the permit fee — it's included in every monument signs quote.
Most monument signs projects in Wheat Ridge run 3–6 weeks from approved design to final install — most of that timeline is permit review, not fabrication or install.
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.
