What we build
Oversized boards like 4 x 4 and 4 x 8, V-shapes, 3-post builds and frames. For development and new build signs, commercial for lease and for sale, land for sale, and business signs. The drawings below show the shape of each build. They are drawings, not photos.
Plywood, coroplast or aluminum composite? Tell us how long the sign stays up and where it goes, and we will tell you which material fits.
Flat board on 3 posts
A third post in the middle for a long board. Good for wide development signs and open, windy sites.
V-shape
Two boards set in a V, so drivers coming both ways can read the sign. Made for corner lots and busy roads.
Frame
The board sits inside a frame with a top rail. A finished look for a sign that stays up a long time.
Fence mounts and other builds.We can fix a board to a fence, or talk through something that is not on this list. Pick "Something else" in the estimate below.

Large sign FAQ
- How much does a 4x8 sign cost?
- A 4x8 sign on posts starts from $400 installed, removal included. Printing is quoted separately.
- Do I need a permit for a large sign?
- It depends on the town and the size. On the sign rules pages we keep (last checked November 3, 2026), most towns let a for sale or lease sign go up without a permit up to a set size, usually 0.5 to 1.2 m² on a residential lot, with some allowing 2 to 4 m² on commercial land. A 4 x 4 board is about 1.5 m² and a 4 x 8 board is about 3 m². A board over the permit-free size may need a municipal permit. We help you check the by-law before we install. This is general information, not legal advice. The town has the final word.
- Do you get locates before you dig?
- Yes. We book a locate through Ontario Dig Authority (formerly Ontario One Call) before every dig, so buried lines are marked before a post goes in the ground.
- How long can a sign stay up?
- It depends on the town and on the permit, if the sign needs one. For for sale and lease signs, many towns set a deadline after the property sells or leases: 14 days in some, 30 days in others, and some set none. A permit for a larger sign can set its own dates. Tell us how long you need it and we will check the rules for that site.
- How long does a large sign take?
- Oversized and commercial installs take up to 3 business days. A permit or a locate can add time, and we tell you before we book.
- Can you put up a farm sign on a rural road?
- It depends on the road. Rules vary by township and by road authority, and a sign on the road allowance can need that authority's permission. We check the rules for that road before we install.
- Can you print the board too?
- Yes. We have our own print shop, so we can print the board and install it in one call. If you already have a board, we can install yours.
- Where do you install large signs?
- Across our coverage area, from Durham Region and the Kawarthas to Toronto and the GTA. Towns include Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Bowmanville, Courtice, Newcastle, Port Perry, Uxbridge, Blackstock, Sunderland, Beaverton, Scarborough, Markham, Stouffville, Richmond Hill, Toronto, North York, Etobicoke, Vaughan, Newmarket, Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, Milton, Burlington, Port Hope, Cobourg, Brighton, Campbellford, Millbrook, Lindsay, Peterborough, Lakefield, Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls.
