Address Signs

Cape Coral and Lee County typically require address numbers to be at least 4 inches tall for residential properties and 6 inches or more for commercial buildings, with contrasting color so they are legible from the street. Larger setbacks and multi-building properties may require taller numbers. We design every address sign to meet the applicable code for your specific property type and location.

Illumination is not always required, but it is often recommended (and sometimes mandated) for commercial properties, multi-family communities, and properties set back from the road. Illuminated address signs help emergency services find your location at night, which can be the difference of a few critical minutes. Common options include front-lit faces, halo backlighting, and reflective vinyl that activates under headlights.

Yes. Adding address numbers to a monument sign is one of the most common combinations we build, especially for multi-family communities and commercial plazas. We can integrate dimensional metal or acrylic numbers into a new monument design or retrofit numbers onto an existing monument structure.

For freestanding and building-mounted address signs, we use marine-grade aluminum, UV-stable acrylic, HDU foam with weatherproof coatings, and stainless steel hardware. These materials handle Cape Coral's sun, humidity, salt air, and storm exposure without rusting or fading. Cast bronze and aluminum are also excellent for upscale properties that want a permanent, distinguished look.

For most residential and small commercial address signs, no permit is needed. Larger monument-style address signs, illuminated address signs, and signs in HOA communities or commercial zoning districts often do require a permit. As a family-owned, full-service Cape Coral sign company, we handle the permitting process for you when one is required.
