01
What are monument signs and why are they a good choice for Tucson businesses?
Monument signs are ground-mounted, low-profile entrance signs built with durable materials such as aluminum and decorated with stone, stucco, brick and more. They are designed to clearly identify a property from the street. For businesses in Tucson, Marana, and Southern Arizona, monument signs provide strong visibility along busy roads, blend with local architecture and desert landscaping, and create a professional first impression at retail centers, office parks, industrial sites, and medical campuses.
02
How much does a custom monument sign cost in Arizona?
The cost of a custom monument sign in Tucson, Marana, and Southern Arizona depends on size, materials (brick, stone, stucco, aluminum), lighting (internal or external), structural engineering, and site conditions. Simple monument signs typically start in the high four-figure to low five‑figure range, while larger, illuminated, or multi‑tenant designs are higher. The most accurate way to estimate pricing is a site visit and a detailed proposal that accounts for city and county permit requirements, HOA or landlord guidelines, and installation access at your specific location.
03
Does Double T Signs handle permits and code requirements for monument signs?
Yes we do. Monument signs in Tucson, Marana, and other Southern Arizona communities must comply with local sign codes, zoning rules, and sometimes HOA or landlord criteria. We help guide the entire process, including site review, code checks, permit drawings, and submission to the City of Tucson, Town of Marana, Pima County or the appropriate jurisdiction. This reduces delays and helps ensure your new monument sign is approved, installed safely, and fully compliant.
04
How long does it take to design, permit, fabricate, and install a monument sign in Tucson & Southern Arizona?
Most monument sign projects in Tucson, Marana, and Southern Arizona take roughly 8–16 weeks from approved design to completed installation. While we strive to meet or beat those expectations whenever possible, actual timelines can vary based on customer response times and jurisdictional approval. The typical monument sign process includes concept design, client and landlord approvals, permitting and engineering, fabrication, and on‑site installation with proper footings and electrical work for lighting. Larger or more complex projects, as well as sites with longer city or HOA review times, may take additional time, while straightforward replacements or simple non‑illuminated monuments can sometimes be completed sooner.
