What commercial signage costs in Canada, by sign type
Most commercial signage in Canada runs between $300 and $40,000 installed. Vinyl window graphics start around $300, illuminated channel letters typically land between $6,000 and $18,000, and pylon or monument signs run $8,000 to $40,000 and up.
The spread is wide because cost tracks sign type, size, materials, illumination, installation complexity, and permit requirements. The ranges below reflect typical project costs, not manufacturer list prices.

These ranges include design, fabrication, permitting, and installation. The single biggest cost variable in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario is structural complexity: how the sign is mounted, what equipment is required, and whether a structural engineer's stamp is needed for the permit.
