Letters Guarantee
When permanently installed by a Sign Professional, SIGN 2000 Letters are guaranteed for the life of the building they were originally put on.
Plastic Letters
If any letters break or fade, SIGN 2000 will replace the defective letters for free. Exterior letters will get dirty. Varied climatic conditions may impact the letter finish. Therefore, some regular cleaning may be required. A good dish soap and water will help return the letters to their original luster.
Metal Letters
Should any metal letter finish fade or corrode, SIGN 2000 will refinish at no charge. Some metal finishes do require regular maintenance to keep their original luster. Painted, satin and polished letters are clear coated with a hardened polyurethane, similar to your car finish. This can be cleaned with a good dish soap and water. If the face gets scratched, a good car polish will also help bring back the original luster. Painted metal letters are double coated with a hardened acrylic polyurethane, and then oven baked. This paint should retain its original luster and not crack for at least 10-15 years.
