What Commercial Signage Actually Costs in Canada
Commercial signage costs vary enormously based on sign type, size, materials, illumination, installation complexity, and permit requirements. The ranges below reflect typical project costs — not manufacturer list prices.
Vinyl window graphics
$300 – $1,500
installed
Illuminated cabinet sign (single face)
$2,500 – $8,000
installed
Channel letter sign (non-illuminated)
$3,000 – $7,000
installed
Channel letter sign (illuminated)
$6,000 – $18,000

Pylon / monument sign
$8,000 – $40,000+
installed
Vehicle wrap (full)
$2,500 – $5,500

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.
