Purchasing custom signage isn’t something most people do every day. For many, it can feel like navigating a new language—what’s a flat cutout or a channel letter? It might even seem as challenging as climbing Mount Everest. At Schlosser, we make the signage process easy. Whether it’s your first sign or your hundredth, our team of signage experts turns confusion into clarity, creating a smooth (and maybe even enjoyable) experience.

While our process may look similar to others in the industry, we pride ourselves on challenging the norm in everything we do, from the people we hire to how we operate. Our team and approach set us apart.

Every member of our team is chosen for their expertise and experience, whether that background is rooted in signage or something entirely different. We believe potential goes beyond ticking the usual boxes. What matters most to us is expertise, growth potential, and a drive to share knowledge. Our team thrives on collaboration, continuous learning, and always supporting each other and our customers. The goal is simple: to make your signage experience seamless from start to finish.

Let’s break down how our departments work together to turn a potentially complex signage project into a smooth, successful journey.

Step 1: Design – Turning “Kinda Like This” Into “Exactly That!”

Whether you’ve got detailed plans in hand or a vague idea that’s “kinda like this,” our design team of signage experts is here to make your vision a reality. With over 60 years of combined experience, our designers have trained under top designers from some of the nation’s best sign manufacturers. They’ve won national and international awards and bring exceptional expertise to every project. From graphic design and fine art to hands-on work with engineers and fabricators, they’ve got the skills to ensure your project is off to a strong start.

Working with Schlosser means more than just buying a sign. You’re tapping into decades of creativity, detail obsession, and problem-solving know-how. Our designers’ knowledge and experience streamline the process, making your sign-buying journey faster, easier, and more efficient. They’re here to set your project up for success right from the beginning.

Step 2: Sales – Where Your Vision Meets People Who Get It

Think of our sales team as signage sommeliers, minus the wine, but with an expertise in pairing you with the right signage solution. Your project is more than just a transaction to us. Our sales team’s role is to guide you by asking the right questions, offering insightful advice, and helping you stay on track toward the best solution for your signage needs.

With decades of experience across design, manufacturing, construction, and even marketing, our sales team has a unique perspective. They can anticipate challenges, offer practical solutions, and create strategic plans that align with your project’s goals. Whether you’re a national brand or a local business, we’re here to provide clarity, confidence, and an experience that’s as smooth as it is successful.

Step 3: Project Management – Your Very Own Sign Sherpa

Once the project kicks off, your sign journey is handed over to one of our seasoned Project Managers, your personal guide up “Signage Everest.” Our PMs come from construction and land development backgrounds, where managing timelines and overcoming complex challenges is the norm. They’ve worked with municipalities, major developers, and both national and local businesses, ensuring smooth execution from start to finish.

These professionals know how to manage multiple projects, stay on schedule, and protect your budget while navigating permitting, contractors, and vendors. Their experience means that no matter how complex your project, it’s in safe hands.

Step 4: Permitting – The Paperwork Nobody Wants to Do (But We Weirdly Love)

Permitting may not be glamorous, but it’s critical to a smooth project. Fortunately, our permitting experts are here to handle the paperwork so you don’t have to. Over the past 25 years, we’ve processed over 10,000 permits across Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, and beyond.

Our team is well-versed in compliance and enjoys tackling the fine print, forms, and back-and-forth with local authorities. With this team on your side, you can focus on running your business while we take care of the bureaucracy.

Step 5: Manufacturing – Where Signs Are Made and Magic Happens

Quality is at the core of what we do. Our fabrication team has years of experience, but we also bring talent from outside the signage world; auto painters, metal sculptors, and even haunted house designers. Why? Because precision, creativity, and craftsmanship are found in many industries. These diverse backgrounds bring a wealth of knowledge and new techniques to every project.

This unique mix of experience allows us to create signage solutions that go beyond the ordinary. Whether you need one sign or 1,000, we ensure they’re durable, impactful, and help your business shine. The result? A stress-free process for you and signage that stands out.

Step 6: Installation – The Big Moment (Cue the Applause)

A sign is only truly complete once it’s installed with precision and care. And while experienced installers are hard to find, we’ve got a team full of them. We seek out individuals with diverse skills; welding, construction, heavy equipment, and electronics, because great installers solve problems on the fly.

We invest in training and certifications to ensure our installers are equipped for any challenge. This means fewer surprises, efficient installations, and a hassle-free experience for you. By the end, you’ll get to enjoy seeing your sign shine without worrying about the details.
