  • ✕ No banners or ads on fences, sheds or scaffolds
NJ Town rules

New Jersey Sets It Town by Town

  • ✓ Most towns allow a sign while work is active
  • ✓ Fence banners and coming soon signs are common
  • i Size and timing vary, so we check your town
LIC NYC + NJ

License Numbers on the Sign

  • i NJ: HIC registration number on all ads
  • i NYC: DCWP license number on all ads
  • ✓ We add your numbers to the layout

What to Put on a Contractor Sign

Keep it short. People read a yard sign in a few seconds from the sidewalk or a passing car.

contractor yard sign with six numbered parts
1
Parapet panel

Required on every shed: 6 x 3 ft, white with DOB blue text, one per frontage (BC 3301.9.2).

2
Logo and company name

The biggest thing on the sign after the headline.

3
What you do

One line, such as general contracting, renovations and roofing.

4
Phone number

Big and bold. Most calls come from people walking or driving past.

5
Website or QR code

A QR code lets neighbors pull up your work right from the sidewalk.

6
License or registration number

NJ HIC reg. # and NYC DCWP license number, where the rules ask for them.

Rule of thumb: about 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet of viewing distance.

Signs NYC exceeded expectations. Not only were they responsive and answered all of my concerns, they completed the order ahead of schedule and to perfection. They are an incredible vendor and reasonably priced. I wish all companies could be as informative and easy to work with. Truly a superb experience. Highly recommend.

These guys are amazing, quick, easy to communicate with and nothing is ever an issue, and send over photos of the job complicated. Easy to work with, they get the brand and signage we wish to do, and take that weight off your shoulders with Trust. I highly recommend them.

I used their rush service for same-day delivery, and they really delivered! It was for a large vinyl print for a private business window. Communication was fluid, specs were clear, and the print was high-quality. Installation was seamless and even earlier than expected, and they provided the COI in a timely manner. I'm so thankful for the great job; my client and boss were very happy!

Wonderful & seamless experience with SignsNY! From start to finish, they were super communicative & helpful explaining the process. They were thorough & professional, from coordinating logistics to the onsite team for installation. We had them install frosting on our conference rooms in our office & they look fabulous--just what we wanted! I would recommend them to anyone & if we ever need similar services, I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.

Needed urgent vinyl adhesive window clings for a branding project with a tight turnaround and SignsNY was the only place that didn't laugh at me when I told them we needed them in the same day. They executed quickly and communication was top notch throughout the process!

FAQs

Contractor Sign Questions, Answered

Most are 18 x 24 in or 24 x 36 in, printed on 4 mm Coroplast with H-stakes. Construction project signs run from 4 x 4 ft to 4 x 8 ft on ACM (Dibond) or aluminum.

No. NYC Building Code 3301.9.7 bans signs, ads and business messages on fences, sheds and scaffolds beyond the required ones. Your company name and phone go on the DOB project information panel instead.

It depends on the town. Newark lets signs at active construction sites go up without a permit, as long as they come down when work ends. Linden allows one temporary construction sign up to 4 sq ft per side in residential zones. Send us the address and we will check.

The project name, a rendering and the team: owner or developer, architect, general contractor and lender, plus a phone number or website. City and state jobs follow the agency’s template.

In New Jersey, home improvement contractors must show their HIC registration number on all advertising. In NYC, home improvement contractors must show their DCWP license number in advertising. We add it to your layout.

ACM (Dibond) and aluminum stay flat and hold up for long builds. Coroplast is lighter and costs less, so it suits shorter jobs and quick swaps.

On two or three 4×4 wood posts set in the ground, or fixed to a fence where the town allows it. Need posts set? Ask sales for crew dates.

Yard signs and banners are usually ready the same day, and ACM project signs in about 24 hours. Pick them up free in Linden, NJ or Brooklyn, or get hand delivery to your site for a small charge.

Yes. There is no minimum order, and the price per sign drops as the quantity goes up.
