How much does signage cost?
Sign pricing depends on materials, size, installation requirements, and municipal regulations.
Here are some ballpark ranges:

• Monuments: $10K–$25K+

• Post and Panel Signs: $1.5K–$8K

• Full Sign Packages: $4K–$6K per 100 units (includes amenities, directionals, and required signage)

⚠️ These numbers are rough estimates. We’ll always scope your property and provide transparent pricing before you commit.

Probably. Most exterior signage including banners, flags, and entry signs - requires a permit.
Each municipality is different, so we always do a code check.

If a sign type should be permitted, we’ll recommend it. If you're on a tight deadline and want to move forward without a permit, you can do so by signing a waiver. We'll always guide you on the risks.

Multifamily teams often juggle dozens of properties and vendors and signage becomes a logistical headache. Different installers. Different rules. Different results.

Resident changes that.

We act as your single signage partner, no matter the property, location, or scope. From branding to permitting to install, we handle it all behind the scenes so you don’t have to chase vendors or manage bids.

Think of us like a signage brokerage with a multifamily marketing brain. Here’s what that means:

• One point of contact for every signage need across your portfolio

• Access to our pre-qualified vendor network, all carrying proper insurance and warranties

• Full project management from survey and design to fabrication and install

• Solutions that are fast, compliant, and built to scale — whether it’s one property or twenty

We advocate for your brand, your budget, and your bandwidth so signage finally becomes one less thing to manage.

Yes, with transparency.

If you plan to bid out the project, we simply ask to be informed upfront. In these cases, we charge for the initial scoping, design, or code research work. Once that’s complete, you’re free to take the deliverables to any vendor you choose.

That said, if you end up awarding the project to Resident, we’ll waive or credit part (or all) of the initial fee depending on the scope and size of the final contract.

We always appreciate the opportunity for a “last look” and will do everything we can to match or beat competitive bids. More than anything, we want to be a partner that respects your process while delivering serious value.

Yes. We coordinate full-service installs nationwide through our vetted installer network. All vendors we work with are properly insured and carry workmanship warranties. We also ensure the install matches approved designs and code requirements.

Absolutely but we need the right files. For accurate color matching and logo reproduction, we recommend providing vector files (AI, EPS, SVG) and brand guidelines. We’ll work with you to align with both print and paint specs, including PMS, CMYK, or custom paint codes.

You can pay directly by credit card or ACH. We’re also set up on systems like NetVendor and RealPage so you can upload invoices through your property ops platform. For larger projects, we can offer phased payments or flexible terms.

Yes. That’s our specialty. Whether you need a one-time lease-up kit or full signage for a new development, we’ll guide you from code checks and surveys to install. For multi-property portfolios, we also offer standardized solutions and custom packages.

Yes — signage is a process. Here's what helps:

• Timelines are estimates. Nothing is final until payment and approval are in.

• Branding files: We need vector files (not just PNGs or screenshots) to ensure quality.

• Color Matching: Marketing, paint, and print use different systems. We'll guide you on what’s possible and always get as close as possible.

• Payment Options: Credit card, check, or ops system upload. We’re approved on NetVendor, RealPage, and more.
