ADA & Wayfinding Signs
Accessibility Meets Great Design.
ADA signage is an important part of creating an accessible environment — but required signage doesn’t have to feel like an afterthought.
SCA can integrate compliant signage into the overall visual identity of a facility while maintaining required accessibility features.
Sign types can include
- Room identification signs
- Restroom signs
- Exit identification
- Stairwell signs
- Directional signs
- Floor identification
- Accessible entrance signage
- Regulatory signage
- Wayfinding systems
Depending on the application, signs may incorporate tactile characters, Grade 2 Braille, required pictograms, appropriate contrast and compliant mounting locations.
Best for
- Office buildings
- Medical facilities
- Schools
- Hotels
- Multifamily properties
- Restaurants
- Retail

Benefits
A coordinated ADA and wayfinding system helps visitors navigate a property more easily while creating consistency throughout the space.
For larger projects, SCA can develop an entire family of signage so identification, directional and informational signs all share the same design language.
ADA & Wayfinding Signs: common questions
Do I need a permit for my business sign?
Many permanent exterior signs require permits, although requirements vary by city, county, property, and sign type. Some locations also have additional zoning, electrical, engineering, or property-specific requirements.
Does SCA Sign Group handle sign permits?
Yes. We can handle the permitting process for many projects, including preparing required documents, submitting applications, coordinating revisions, and working through the approval process with the appropriate jurisdiction.
Do you manufacture signs in-house?
Yes. SCA Sign Group provides commercial sign fabrication along with installation, allowing us to maintain greater control over quality and the production process.
How long does it take to make a commercial sign?
Timelines vary depending on the type and complexity of the sign. Design approval, landlord approval, permitting, engineering, material availability, fabrication, and installation scheduling can all affect the overall timeline.
How much does a commercial sign cost?
Sign pricing varies considerably based on size, materials, illumination, mounting method, engineering, permitting, installation conditions, equipment requirements, and design complexity. Because commercial signage is highly customized, we recommend requesting a project-specific quote.
Do your signs come with a warranty?
Yes. SCA Sign Group provides a five-year warranty on our workmanship. Certain manufactured components may also carry separate manufacturer warranties.
