Metro Sign & Awning

09/15/2026

Architects and developers don't need another vendor. They need a signage partner whose work holds up next to the building it's on.

That's the standard behind every project in our portfolio. Across the Boston metro area, the consistent them is the same: signage designed to read as part of the architecture, not bolted onto it, delivered by one team that owns design, permitting, fabrication, and installation from concept through install.

Award-winning signage isn't a tagline for us. It's what happens when the people specifying and building your signs all work under one roof to create spectacular solutions to our client's needs.

ADA signage has a real bar clear. Raised characters, Braille, contrast, placement, all of it to code. But meeting the standard and elevating the space are two different things.

That gap is what our newest capability closes. We've brought 3D printing into our Greater Boston area shop, and one of the first things it's producing is ADA signage with a level of tactile detail and design flexibility that's hard to achieve any other way.

For architects and developers, that means accessible signage that fits the space you designed, produced by the same team already handling your permitting, fabrication, and installation.

Swipe through to see it come together.

The Schlott Tire sign is officially back in action!
After being taken out by a reckless driver, Tewksbury has definitely been missing the clever, creative messages that have become part of the community over the past 20+ years.
We're proud to have repaired and restored this local landmark so it can get back to doing what it does best—putting smiles on faces every day.
A big thank you to the team at Schlott Tire for the shout-out on the sign. We truly appreciate it!
In our opinion, it's one of the best uses of a manual readerboard anywhere. Your daily messages brighten everyone's day, and we're happy to have helped bring them back.

Campus signage does more than direct traffic. It expresses hospitality.

It sets the tone for students, parents, faculty, vendors, and visitors before they ever walk into a building.

When parking areas, entrances, event spaces, and campus buildings are difficult to navigate, the experience quickly becomes frustrating — especially during move-in weekends, orientation, athletic events, and open houses.

Strong wayfinding signage helps educational facilities improve:
• Visitor navigation
• Parking clarity
• Campus safety
• Traffic flow
• Overall school reputation

For schools preparing for the fall semester, now is the time to evaluate what’s working — and what’s creating confusion.

Summer is the window for educational facilities to complete installations with minimal disruption before students return.

The challenge is that signage timelines involve much more than installation alone. Design approvals, permitting, fabrication, material selection, and campus coordination all need to align long before move-in season begins.

That’s why early planning matters.

Metro Sign works with schools, colleges, and universities across the Boston metro area to help signage projects move forward smoothly — from planning through installation.

This custom trailer wrap was designed, printed, and professionally installed by the Metro Sign & Awning team for Lakes Region Design Group.

A signage project can look great on paper — and still run into delays before fabrication even begins.

Why?

Because many issues start long before installation:
🔹 Local permitting requirements
🔹 Visibility restrictions
🔹 Material limitations
🔹 Electrical planning
🔹 Site line challenges
🔹 Zoning compliance

When these details are addressed early, projects move faster and avoid unnecessary redesigns later in the process.

Metro Sign works with architects, developers, and commercial property teams throughout the Boston metro area to help exterior signage projects stay aligned from concept through installation.

Exterior signage is one of the first things people notice about a property — but visibility isn’t just about size.

Placement, lighting, materials, viewing distance, and surrounding architecture all affect how signage performs in the real world.

A sign that looks impressive up close may still fail to communicate clearly from the road, parking lot, or pedestrian approach.

That’s why successful exterior signage projects require more than good design alone. They require planning for how people actually experience the space.

Metro Sign helps commercial teams throughout the Boston metro area design exterior signage systems that balance visibility, durability, and long-term performance.

Another exciting project in the books! ⚾🎳

We were proud to partner with Wamesit Lanes of Tewksbury and The Lowell Spinners to bring this signage project to life. From concept to installation, our team worked to create bold, eye-catching graphics that enhance the guest experience and celebrate the strong connection between two iconic local entertainment destinations.
Seeing these brands come together in a space that brings families, friends, and fans together makes this project especially rewarding.
Thank you to Wamesit Lanes and The Lowell Spinners for trusting us with your vision!
