We don’t make signs. We install them and fix them. That split works well for Rangely businesses, because you can pick any sign maker you like and still have a local crew handle the part that involves posts, anchors, ladders, and hardware. A well built sign mounted poorly is still a problem waiting for the next windy afternoon.
Our signage work covers post signs, wall mounted signs, monument faces, directional and parking signs, and property or yard identification signs. On repair calls, we straighten leaning posts, replace broken brackets, refasten loose panels, and reset signs that got clipped by a truck or a plow. Every installation is planned around Rangely’s wind and winters, so the sign stays level and readable from the road.
We know which Rangely corners get the strongest wind and the most traffic, and we place and anchor signs with that in mind.
We bring post hole equipment, ladders, anchors, and mounting hardware, so most sign installs and repairs happen in a single visit.
If a sign location won't get seen or a mount won't hold, we tell you before anything goes in the ground.
Crates, wrapping, extra concrete, and old hardware leave with us, and the area around your new sign is left neat.
Basin Sealcoat & Striping doesn’t design, print, or fabricate signs. Your sign shop handles the graphics and the build. We handle the install and any repairs down the road. That means you can order a sign from whichever maker you trust, and we’ll coordinate on size, weight, and mounting details before it ships. Knowing the weight and the mounting points ahead of time lets us bring the right posts, brackets, and anchors on day one instead of improvising on site.
If your sign maker supplies a mounting kit or drawings, we follow them. If they don’t, we’ll work out a mounting plan that fits the sign and the surface it’s going on. Brick, block, metal siding, and wood framing all take different anchors, and choosing the wrong one is the most common reason wall signs sag after a winter or two.
Colorado Highway 64 runs right through town as Main Street, and Colorado 139 comes in from the south. Those two roads carry most of the traffic that will ever see your sign, including oilfield trucks, college students, locals, and travelers heading for Douglas Pass or Kenney Reservoir. Where the sign stands is just as important as how it looks. We look at sight lines from both directions, how far back drivers can read it, and whether trees, poles, or parked trucks will block it. A few feet of adjustment can make a big difference in how many people actually notice you.
A post sign is basically a flat panel on a stick, and Rangely’s open, windy terrain pushes on it constantly. Post size, footing size, and depth all have to match the sign’s surface area. We set post footings to meet local building requirements, and for larger freestanding signs, the Rio Blanco County building department or the Town of Rangely may need to review the plan, so it’s worth checking early. Since every post hole means digging, we contact Colorado 811 at least two full business days before we start so buried lines get marked. If your sign is going in where the ground needs leveling first, grading gives the base a flat, well drained start.
Most Rangely signage calls fall into one of these groups:
For parking areas, signs work best alongside clear pavement markings, and our parking lot striping service can handle both on the same project.
Strong sun fades faces and dries out plastic, cold snaps make panels brittle, and wind slowly works fasteners loose. On top of that, signs near driveways and parking lots get bumped by trucks and buried by plowed snow. Typical repairs include straightening or replacing bent posts, swapping cracked brackets, refastening panels that rattle, and reseating wall signs that have pulled away from the building. If your sign face itself is cracked or faded, your sign maker builds the new one and we swap it in. We also check lighting brackets, conduit covers, and mounting plates while we’re up there, since one loose part often means others are close behind. Fixing a leaning post early is far cheaper than replacing a sign that finally went over in a windstorm and cracked on the pavement.
Once a sign is up, a little maintenance keeps it working for you. Check it after big wind events and after the first heavy snow. Keep shrubs and weeds trimmed away from the base so it stays visible. Wash off the dust and road grime that collects on faces and posts, and if the surrounding walls and walkways look dingy, pressure washing freshens up the whole entrance. A clean, level sign tells customers you pay attention to details before they ever walk in the door.
We look at the spot, sight lines, mounting surface, and ground conditions, and we talk with your sign maker about weight and hardware.
You receive a free quote for posts, footings, anchors, and labor, with any permit or 811 steps noted clearly.
We set posts plumb, mount panels level and tight, and make sure every fastener is rated for the load and weather.
We check the sign from the road with you, confirm it reads clearly, and tighten anything that needs a final adjustment.
