Channel Letters That Own the Street
The classic storefront sign, done right — custom channel letters designed for your building, built to last, and installed by our own in-house crew across NJ and NYC.
Types of Channel Letters
Pick the look that fits your brand — we'll engineer the rest.
Halo-Lit (Reverse Channel)
Light washes backward onto the wall for an upscale halo effect — popular with offices, hotels and restaurants.
Front + Back Lit Combo
Maximum impact: illuminated faces with a halo behind them. Your sign becomes a landmark.
Non-Illuminated Letters
Dimensional letters without lighting — clean daytime branding for interiors and buildings with strong facade lighting.
From Idea to Installed
One team handles the whole project.
Design & layout
We design your letters to fit the building — size, font, colors and illumination matched to your brand and facade.
Fabrication
Letters are built from aluminum returns with acrylic faces and commercial LED modules, wired for years of service.
Permits & installation
We handle the paperwork and install with proper structural mounting and code-compliant electrical connections.
Service for life
Your sign stays lit with our repair and maintenance service — one call, same team.
What Affects Pricing
Honest guidance before you call.
Channel letter pricing comes down to a handful of factors: letter height and count, illumination type (front-lit vs. halo), raceway vs. individual mounting, installation height and access, and local permit requirements.
As a rough market reference — not a Power NYC quote — small storefront sets in our region commonly run a few thousand dollars, while large multi-letter building installations reach five figures. Every project we do is quoted individually and itemized, and quotes are always free: (718) 769-3769.

Channel Letter FAQ
Straight answers about channel letter signs.
What are channel letter signs?
Three-dimensional letters mounted on your storefront — each letter is its own illuminated (or non-illuminated) unit. They're the most common sign type for retail, restaurants and offices because they read clearly day and night.
What's the difference between front-lit and halo-lit letters?
Front-lit (face-lit) letters shine out of the face toward the street — brightest and most common. Halo-lit (reverse channel) letters glow from behind, creating a refined halo effect on the wall. Combination letters do both.
How long does a channel letter project take?
Design and fabrication typically take a few weeks, then installation is usually done in a day or two depending on size and access. Permits can add time in some municipalities — we handle that part for you.
How much do channel letter signs cost?
Every project is different — letter size, count, illumination type and installation complexity all matter. As a rough market reference (not a Power NYC quote), small storefront sets in our region commonly run a few thousand dollars, while large multi-letter building signs reach five figures. Our quotes are free and itemized.
Do you service the channel letters you install?
Yes — and we service ones we didn't install, too. See our sign repair page for troubleshooting, LED module replacement and maintenance plans.
