Overview

Pylon signs are the largest, most engineered exterior signs we install. Tall pole-mounted cabinets with full-color LED message screens for retail centers, dealerships, healthcare campuses, and multi-tenant developments — they're the sign you read from the highway.

Our pylon work includes Maurer Real Estate Group (multi-tenant cabinet with Victorian-styled top and LED message screen), Crusader Community Health (health pylon with LED temperature display), Gustafson's (full-color LED message center on retail pylon), and Subway's drive-thru pylon. Every install is engineered for wind load, frost-line footing, and the right LED display class for the viewing distance.

We also offer service contracts for ongoing LED message-center content management — useful for retail centers and health campuses that need regular promotional or community-message updates.

Our process

How CorPro produces and installs pylon signs & led message centers.

  1. 01

    Site survey + utility locate

    We survey the site, locate utilities, check setbacks, and assess sight lines from the road. For drive-thrus, we also model traffic-flow visibility.

  2. 02

    Engineering + permit

    Pylon engineering covers pole structure, footing depth, wind load, and electrical service. We pull the permit and coordinate utility hookup.

  3. 03

    Footing + pole install

    Concrete footing is poured to the engineered depth (often 8–12 feet for tall pylons) and cured. Pole goes up with a crane.

  4. 04

    Cabinet + LED install

    Cabinet is mounted, faces are installed, LED message center is integrated and commissioned. Electrical hookup is coordinated with your utility.

  5. 05

    Training + handoff

    Content management software training, as-built drawings, warranty documentation, and (for service contract clients) a quarterly check-in schedule.

FAQ

Pylon Signs & LED Message Centers — common questions.

Not seeing your question? The fastest way to get an answer is the quote form — we usually respond within a business day.

What does an LED message center cost?
Full-color LED message centers vary widely with size and pixel pitch — a 4ft × 8ft full-color screen runs $25,000–$45,000 installed. Amber single-color is roughly half that. We'll size the right display for your viewing distance and budget.
Can you manage the LED content for us?
Yes — service contracts typically run monthly. We schedule promotional, seasonal, and community-message content and coordinate any urgent changes. Useful for retail centers and health campuses.
Permitting + lead time?
Pylon installs are 8–12 weeks from approved spec. Most of it is permitting (pylons trigger setback and engineered-drawing review) and footing cure. Weather affects scheduling November–March.
Do you service pylons you didn't install?
Yes. We service and repair pylon LED message centers from any manufacturer, including diagnostic work, module replacement, and content recovery. Send a photo and we'll quote.
