Like any other signage product, channel letters, too, may require maintenance or repair. In the past, many SoCal business owners thought that busted signage meant costly replacements. However, with All Star Signs’ channel letter sign repair in San Diego, CA, you can keep your product looking great while saving money.
Understanding the Makeup of a Channel Letter
The typical channel letter consists of an aluminum body and polycarbonate or acrylic facing. Inside, there are LEDs that provide illumination. We might install these signs flush to a building’s wall, with standoffs for a halo effect, or on a raceway to store the electrical components.
How Do Channel Letters Break?
San Diego is famous for its sunshine. However, this very sunshine contributes to fading colors. The continued UV exposure may leave your facings looking a little lackluster after several years. Our team can repaint the facings and letter bodies. It gives the sign a new lease on life.
Occasionally, a facing breaks. This may be due to vandalism or bad weather. If you ignore the problem, sand and water enter the letter and affect the welded seams. At this point, the facing discolors and eventually breaks completely. We recommend replacing the affected facing. If the rest of the channel letters could benefit from maintenance, we would perform it at that time.
Perhaps the most common reason why our technicians are called to local businesses has to do with electrical issues. Although they are long-lasting, LEDs can go bad. Recently, we assisted the Highlands Ranch Animal Hospital with the replacement of old transformers, the addition of a new one, and the change-out of LEDs. It took a sign that did not light up properly to once again start advertising and branding the clinic’s location.
