Pylon Signs are one of the highest-impact upgrades a Littleton business can make, and we install them every week across Historic Downtown, Aspen Grove, and the rest of Littleton. Littleton businesses enjoy the benefits of custom LED signage that enhances Historic Downtown and Aspen Grove shopping areas. We create signs that respect Littleton's charm while driving business success.
From our Arvada shop we design, fabricate, permit, and install pylon signs for Littleton — covering Downtown Littleton, Ken Caryl, Columbine, and every other Littleton neighborhood. Every install is backed by our 2-year materials-and-workmanship warranty.
"Our LED sign maintains the historic character while being clearly visible. Perfect for our downtown location!"
Pylon signs are the tallest sign type most jurisdictions allow — typically 20 to 50 feet — and they exist for one reason: highway-speed visibility. If your customers find you from I-25, I-70, US-36, C-470, or any Front Range arterial, a pylon is the right call. Gas stations, fast food, hotels, dealerships, and large multi-tenant retail centers nearly always use pylons. If you're a destination business set back from a major road, a pylon is the difference between being found at 60 mph and being missed entirely.
Single-tenant pylons feature one large cabinet with your logo and brand — common for fast food, hotels, and dealerships. Multi-tenant pylons stack 3 to 8 tenant panels on a shared structure, ideal for shopping centers and retail strips where every tenant needs highway exposure. Multi-tenant designs include panel slots sized to your typical tenant, and panels can be removed and replaced individually as tenants turn over — no full sign replacement required.
A pylon's foundation is the most important and least visible part of the project. Colorado's Front Range has a 30–36 inch frost line and 90+ mph wind loads, which means every pylon needs a drilled-pier foundation engineered to local soils. Our engineered drawings include the pier diameter, depth, rebar cage, and concrete spec, sealed by a Colorado-licensed structural engineer. Skip this step and you'll either fail your permit review or — worse — see foundation movement after the first hard winter.
Many Colorado jurisdictions now allow a digital electronic message center (EMC) panel on a pylon, subject to local rules on brightness, transition speed, and dwell time. EMCs let you run rotating promotions — fuel prices, daily specials, hours, menu items — without sending a crew up the pole every time. We integrate full-color EMCs (10mm or 16mm pixel pitch is typical for highway viewing) into new pylons or retrofit them onto existing ones.

Yes — Pylon Signs are a core service we install across Littleton and the surrounding Front Range, including Downtown Littleton, Ken Caryl, Columbine, Roxborough. Crews are based in Arvada and travel daily to Littleton job sites.
Yes. We produce sealed drawings, submit the permit package to the appropriate Littleton jurisdiction, manage corrections, and pay the permit fee — it's included in every pylon signs quote.
Most pylon signs projects in Littleton run 3–6 weeks from approved design to final install — most of that timeline is permit review, not fabrication or install.
It varies by jurisdiction and zoning. Most Denver-metro cities allow 25–35 feet by right, with taller pylons (up to 50+ feet) along major highways with a variance. We research code for your exact address before designing.
Single-tenant pylons typically start around $25,000 installed and scale up based on height, cabinet size, and foundation depth. Large multi-tenant pylons with EMC panels can exceed $100,000. We provide itemized quotes that break out fabrication, foundation, install, and electrical separately.
Yes, if the existing structure can carry the additional load. We'll have our structural engineer review the original drawings, retrofit the EMC, and re-permit if required.
From contract to lit-and-final, 10–16 weeks is typical. Permits and engineering drive the timeline more than fabrication. The on-site work is usually 2–3 days with a crane.
