Sign Company in Gainesville, FL
Highmark is headquartered at 955 Orange Ave in Daytona Beach and serves Gainesville, approximately 100 miles west via SR-40 and I-75, along with the rest of Alachua County, manufacturing, installing and permitting signage built to Florida’s hurricane wind-load standards, not a generic catalog product.
A Local Sign Company, Not a Regional Broker
Gainesville business owners and developers work directly with our design team, not a call center. Highmark manufactures and installs signage across Alachua County in-house, start to finish.
We collaborate with property owners and developers to design signage suited to each business and building, then handle manufacturing and installation ourselves with our own crews, not a subcontractor.
Built for North Florida’s Codes and Climate
Gainesville is approximately 100 miles west via SR-40 and I-75 of our Daytona Beach shop, in a part of the state that sees real seasonal swings alongside the same hurricane exposure that drives Florida’s building codes.
Every sign we build there still meets the Miami-Dade and Broward County wind-load standard as a baseline, regardless of how far inland the site sits.

Channel Letters vs. Cabinet Signs
Channel letters are individual dimensional letters, frequently lit, built for a premium look on a storefront or tower in Gainesville. Cabinet signs are a boxed unit with one translucent face, generally the more affordable option and simpler to update over time. Both come out of our own shop.
Project Timeline
How long a Gainesville project takes depends on complexity and how fast Alachua County’s permitting office moves. Expect roughly 4 to 6 weeks for design and fabrication, with municipal permitting adding more on top. We keep you updated from concept through the final electrical hookup.
