Where Lit Signs Stand in Bayonet Point

On highways, the split is between a sign on the building and one at the road. A freestanding retail building on US 19 in Bayonet Point comes with a pylon sign out front, and Pasco's sign submittal treats the two types separately. For a wall sign, the site plan places it on the building's elevation and shows any signs already on that wall, and the drawings detail how it connects to a raceway or to the wall. For a sign at the road, a monument sign, or a ground sign, they cover the footer and the connection between the base and the cabinet. The drawings are digitally signed and sealed, and the electrical work is planned from what they show.

Beacon Woods' deed restrictions keep signs off its residential lots. Apart from one for-sale or for-rent sign of no more than five square feet, and a small no-solicitation or security-company sign, nothing else may be displayed to public view on a lot. So inside the community, the lit signs are its own, at its entrances, and business signs stand on commercial frontage such as US 19 and State Road 52. The community's entrance monuments at State Road 52 and Fivay Road got their floodlights in 1986, by the association's own timeline, so where the association owns an entrance and its lights, a dark monument is a repair its board arranges.

How it runs

Two Kinds of Signs, Two Kinds of Runs

  1. 1

    Wall or road

    Which kind of sign it is decides where the feed has to end up: at a point on the building's wall, or at a base somewhere across the lot. For a repair, it also decides where testing starts.

  2. 2

    On the building

    For a wall sign, the measured path is from the panel to the point on the wall where the sign connects.

  3. 3

    Out at the road

    For a business's monument, the feed starts at a panel in the building with room for the sign's circuit and runs underground to the base, so the location of that panel determines the length of the trench. On an existing pylon, the run already in the ground is traced and tested first.

  4. 4

    Permit, then switched on

    Where the job calls for a permit, its inspection is part of the schedule. Once the sign company has mounted the face, the circuit is energized, and the sign is tested lit.

What we cover

On the Building or Out by the Curb

Channel letters on a raceway: The feed brought to the raceway behind the letters, and the power supplies inside it are repaired or replaced when a run of letters goes dark.

Cabinet signs on a storefront fascia: The LED drivers, fluorescent ballasts, and connections inside the box are repaired or replaced when the cabinet is switched over to LED, with whatever permits that change needs, when the old lamps keep failing.

Existing pylons on US 19 and State Road 52: The circuit that already runs out to the pole and up to its cabinets, and the lighting in each tenant's cabinet.

Monument and ground signs: The buried feed out to the base, the shut-off there, and the internal lighting or the floods aimed at the face.

Community entrance monuments: Floodlights, the photocell or timer that switches them, and the circuit that feeds the entrance.

Digital and message-board signs: we bring them power, and the screen and its programming stay with the sign company.

Pricing

Sign Work and Its Price

01

Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.

02

Repair and troubleshooting visits are billed by the hour from arrival: $100 residential, $150 commercial, one-hour minimum, then half-hour increments, plus materials. No trip charge and no service fee. No hidden fees: the 3.5% surcharge on card and ACH payments is listed in our terms.

03

We don't do upfront pricing. No job has a standard price with us: each one is tailored to the property and the work you've asked for, and priced once we've seen it.

We offer free estimates on installs, upgrades, and replacements in our service area. Estimates aren't free when the job needs troubleshooting or testing to price, falls after hours or outside our service area, needs several meetings to gather information, or is new construction or a custom remodel with multi-party walk-throughs. For most jobs, estimates arrive by email by the end of the next business day, and quotes are good for 30 days.

Our warranty

04

If something we installed fails because of our workmanship within 30 days of completion, we waive the hourly labor to put it right. Materials Kennedy Electric purchases for your job carry the manufacturer's one-year warranty. To replace defective materials we supplied, or materials damaged by storm, flood, fire, or other acts of God, we charge a reduced warranty labor rate of $50 an hour residential and $75 an hour commercial. The warranty does not cover materials not purchased by Kennedy Electric, work performed by the customer, or materials the customer purchased or damaged. Our warranty terms are printed on the estimate, the invoice, and the receipt, and the product boxes stay with you so you can register each product with its manufacturer.

Common questions

Signs Along the Highways and at the Entrances

The floodlights on our community's entrance monument on State Road 52 stopped coming on. Where does the repair start?

Where the power does. When the community owns the monument, its board arranges the repair, and the testing runs from the breaker that feeds the entrance, to the photocell or timer that switches it, to the floods and the wiring out to them. Fixtures that have failed are replaced.

We're leasing a freestanding building on US 19 with a pylon sign out front. Can our sign run on the power that's already there?

Often the pylon already has a circuit out to it, and the question is whether that circuit can carry the lighting in your cabinet once your sign company has put your face in it. The cabinet's label gives its load, and the existing circuit and the run out to the pole are checked against it. If the circuit can't carry the load or the run has failed, the circuit must be repaired or upgraded.

Our storefront is in a plaza on State Road 52, and our new sign goes on a wall that already has other tenants' signs. Does that change the electrical?

It sets where the feed comes through. Your sign takes its own spot among the others on that wall, on a raceway or straight to the wall, and the feed is brought out behind that spot. The run inside the building, from the panel to that point, is the part that changes from one storefront to the next.

Our community's entrance floods are the old kind. Can they be changed to LED?

Yes, once the county's permit desk has confirmed which permits, if any, the change needs. Floods on a monument stand in the sun and rain year-round, and older floods are good candidates for LED. The new floods are aimed at the face, and they stay on the photocell or timer that already switches the entrance unless that control has failed too.

Where does the switch that shuts our sign off go?

That follows the kind of sign. Out at the road, it goes at the base of the monument or pylon. On a storefront, it goes where the person working on the sign can see it; otherwise, it has to be a switch that locks off. Either way, you're shown where it is once the sign is lit.
