Hear from property managers and business owners across San Antonio.
They re-striped our entire shopping center lot in one weekend. The lines are sharp, the ADA spaces are perfect, and the price was very fair. Highly recommend!

Professional Parking Lot & Traffic Sign Installation
Proper parking lot signage is a critical component of any well-managed commercial property. Metal signage guides traffic flow, designates accessible parking spaces, marks fire lanes, enforces parking rules, and protects property owners from liability. Without clearly marked signs, you risk confused visitors, injured pedestrians, and fines up to $75,000 for safety violations. We supply and install a full range of parking lot signs and traffic signage for commercial properties throughout San Antonio.
All of our metal signs meet federal ADA standards, Texas Accessibility Standards, and local regulations. We use high-quality, weather-resistant materials built to withstand the harsh Texas climate, including aluminum sign faces, galvanized steel posts, and reflective sheeting that remains visible in low-light conditions. Every installation is secured with proper post depth and tamper-resistant mounting hardware.
Whether you need ADA handicap parking signs, fire lane signs, stop signs, directional and wayfinding signage, tow-away zone signs, or custom sign design and fabrication for a commercial development, our team handles the entire process from site assessment and compliance check to professional installation.
Metal Signage & Traffic Signs We Install
ADA Compliance: Metal Signage Requirements
Under the ADA and Texas Accessibility Standards, handicap parking signs must be metal signage mounted at least 48-60 inches above the ground. The number of required accessible parking spaces depends on your total lot capacity. Missing or improperly installed ADA signs can result in fines up to $75,000 and legal liability for property owners.
How Parking Lot Sign Installation Works
Site Assessment & Compliance Check
We evaluate your property to determine optimal sign placement for maximum visibility and effectiveness. We audit every existing sign for condition, compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, and proper placement. Missing signs, damaged or faded metal signage, improperly mounted signs, and code violations are all identified. You receive a written summary of what needs to be added, replaced, or relocated.
Sign Selection, Design & Ordering
Based on the assessment, we recommend the right traffic signs and parking lot signage for your property. All metal signs meet ADA standards, Texas Accessibility Standards, and San Antonio municipal codes. For custom sign design and fabrication, we work with you on branding and messaging. We source from commercial suppliers who use quality aluminum faces, reflective sheeting, and UV-resistant inks built to withstand the harsh Texas climate.
Professional Installation
Our experienced crew handles everything from concrete work to final positioning. Posts are set in concrete footings or driven to proper depth depending on the surface. Each sign is installed at the correct height, location, and orientation, then leveled, plumbed, and securely fastened with tamper-resistant hardware. We don't consider the job done until every sign is perfectly placed and secure.
Final Inspection & Documentation
After installation, we verify that every sign meets height requirements, is clearly visible from the parking space it serves, and matches the corresponding pavement markings. ADA handicap signs, fire lane signs, and traffic control signs are all checked against current regulations. We photograph the completed work for your records and compliance documentation.
ADA Parking Sign Requirements
The Americans with Disabilities Act sets specific requirements for signage at accessible parking spaces. These requirements are enforced at the federal level and supplemented by the Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) at the state level. Getting signage wrong is one of the most common ADA violations, and one of the easiest to fix.
Every accessible parking space in your lot must have a sign that includes the International Symbol of Accessibility. Van-accessible spaces need an additional "Van Accessible" designation. Signs must be mounted on posts high enough that they remain visible when a vehicle is parked in the space. Pavement-painted symbols alone do not meet the requirement.

Metal Sign Materials & Durability
We install commercial-grade metal signage built to last in outdoor conditions. Our standard signs feature .080-gauge aluminum faces, the same thickness used for road and traffic signs, with baked enamel and reflective sheeting that meets ASTM standards. These weather-resistant metal signs resist fading, rusting, and damage from the harsh Texas climate far better than cheap, lightweight alternatives.
Sign posts are galvanized steel, either square tube or U-channel depending on the application. Galvanized steel resists rust and corrosion, which is important in San Antonio where sprinkler systems and rain can cause standing water around post bases. Posts are either set in concrete footings or driven into the ground with a post driver, depending on the surface and soil conditions.
For high-traffic areas or locations prone to vehicle contact, we offer breakaway post systems that flex on impact rather than snapping. This protects both the vehicle and the sign installation, and the post can be reset without needing a full replacement. We also install bollard-mounted signs for locations where a standard post installation isn't practical.
Reflective sheeting is a key detail that's often overlooked. ADA handicap signs, fire lane signs, and traffic control signs need to be clearly visible in low-light conditions. We use engineer-grade or high-intensity reflective sheeting that meets DOT visibility standards, so your metal signage is readable at night under headlights or parking lot lighting. We also provide reflectivity checks and sign maintenance to keep your parking lot signage compliant as regulations change.
Common Questions About Parking Lot Signage
How long do parking lot signs last?
High-quality aluminum metal signage with reflective sheeting typically lasts 7-10 years or more in San Antonio's climate. The reflective coating may need replacement before the sign face itself, especially on south-facing signs that receive the most UV exposure. We use commercial-grade, weather-resistant materials designed for the harsh Texas climate. We also offer sign maintenance, reflectivity checks, and sign repair as needed.
Can I reuse my existing posts?
In many cases, yes. If your existing posts are galvanized steel, structurally sound, and set at the correct depth, we can mount new metal signs on them. During the site assessment, we evaluate every post and let you know which ones can be reused and which should be replaced.
Do I need signs if I have painted symbols on the pavement?
Yes. The ADA requires a mounted metal sign at every accessible parking space. Pavement markings alone do not satisfy the requirement. A vehicle parked in the space would block the pavement marking from view, which is why mounted metal signage at least 48 inches high is necessary. Missing ADA signage can result in fines up to $75,000.
What about fire lane signs?
San Antonio fire code requires fire lanes to be clearly marked with metal signs and/or painted curbs. Fire lane signs should be posted at regular intervals along the designated fire lane. We install standard fire lane signs that meet local fire department requirements and coordinate with our striping services for red curb painting to create a cohesive parking lot design.
Do you offer custom sign design and fabrication?
Yes. In addition to standard traffic signs and regulatory signage, we provide custom sign design and fabrication for commercial properties. This includes reserved parking signs, customer appreciation signs, curbside pickup signs, EV charging station signs, employee of the month signs, and branded wayfinding signage with your business logo. All custom metal signs use the same commercial-grade materials as our standard signage.
