01. Consultation & Planning
We begin by understanding your goals, scope, and the context of each project. This phase typically includes reviewing existing conditions, discussing design intent, budgets, and timelines, and identifying site-specific considerations that may affect signage design, permitting, and installation.
02. Design & Engineering
Design intent is developed into engineered, buildable signage solutions. This phase includes layout refinement, material and finish selection, mounting and attachment methods, electrical coordination where required, prototyping when appropriate, and iterative revisions to align details before drawings are finalized for review, permitting, and fabrication.
03. Fabrication
Approved designs are fabricated using the materials, finishes, and methods best suited to the project requirements. Fabrication emphasizes accuracy, durability, and consistent color matching across individual signs or complete signage systems, with quality checks throughout the production process.
04. Installation
Installation is carried out by specialized teams suited to the scope and environment of each project. Interior, exterior, and 3M-certified environmental graphics installations are handled by experienced crews, including licensed electrical professionals where required, with safety certifications and union coordination supported as needed to ensure accurate, compliant execution.
05. Maintenance
Maintenance and ongoing support help extend the life and performance of installed signage. Services may include updates, repairs, lighting and LED support, rebranding assistance, or coordination for future changes as spaces, brands, or requirements evolve.

Reviews
What Our Customers Are Saying
Bailey Sign was attentive and professional throughout the entire process and provided high-quality wayfinding signs to help our visitors navigate our expansive campus. Highly recommend.
Cassie Rangel
Bailey Sign provided both internal and external signage for our corporate facility and delivered an excellent job from start to finish. The signage quality exceeded our expectations, and the team was responsive, collaborative, and easy to work with throughout the process. Their attention to detail, clear communication, and flexibility made the project smooth and successful. The final result looks fantastic, and the team was a true pleasure to partner with.
Kate Pooler
When WBRC Inc. moved to our new Portland location at 701 Forest Ave, Portland, ME 04103, United States, we sought signage that would bring our new brand identity to life.
Our updated logo, color palette, and overall aesthetic needed to be expressed clearly on the building.
Bailey Sign fabricated and installed our indigo ‘WBRC’ dimensional letters on two elevations, illuminated with tunable LED lighting that allows seasonal changes to the backlit logo.
What stands out most is the care they brought to the project. I watched an installer meticulously wipe every surface of the letters from the bucket of the lift. A small detail that reflects their broader commitment to quality. WBRC appreciated that level of care then and continue to recall it as we recommend Bailey to others.

WBRC
They were very conscious of what we were trying to achieve overall. Our mission became their mission. Bailey worked with us to develop a comprehensive donor recognition system that honored gifts of every size throughout the facility. They were always thinking about the big picture.

Bailey is an innovative and creative company. They helped us with the design process and their installation work is top notch. Bailey has gone above and beyond our expectations. They are the only company we go to for signage.

Bailey Sign reached out at a critical moment just as our local provider was closing, seamlessly stepping in to deliver a complex package that included custom exterior building and didactic signage, as well as interior ADA, wayfinding, and donor recognition.
Throughout the early design phases, their team was incredibly transparent about the manufacturing process, collaborating closely with us to refine shop drawings and perfect the details.
We were especially grateful for their flexibility when our construction schedule slipped; they adjusted their installation timeline without hesitation, proving to be an adaptable and reliable partner from start to finish.
