Sign Company in Tampa, FL
Tampa, FL

Sign Company in Tampa, FL

Highmark is headquartered at 955 Orange Ave in Daytona Beach and serves Tampa, approximately 135 miles southwest via I-4, along with the rest of Hillsborough 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

A Tampa sign project runs smoother when one company handles design through installation. That’s how Highmark works in Hillsborough County: our own designers, our own fabrication shop, our own crews on site through final hookup.

We sit down with property owners and developers to design signage around each business’s brand and the building’s look, then manufacture and install it ourselves, no subcontracted crews in between.

Built for the Gulf Coast

Florida’s Gulf Coast brings the same UV exposure and salt spray as the Atlantic side. Outdoor signage in Tampa is built with marine-grade materials and stainless fasteners to resist corrosion over time.

Florida’s building codes are among the strictest in the country, and we engineer to the Miami-Dade and Broward County hurricane standard as our baseline, with heavier-gauge aluminum where coastal exposure calls for it.

What We Build in Hillsborough County

Channel Letters vs. Cabinet Signs

Channel letters are individual dimensional letters, frequently lit, built for a premium look on a storefront or tower in Tampa. 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 Tampa project takes depends on complexity and how fast Hillsborough 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between channel letters and cabinet signs?
For a Tampa storefront, channel letters give individual illuminated letters a premium, dimensional look. Cabinet signs use one translucent face over a boxed unit instead, usually the more affordable and easier-to-update choice.
How long does it take to design and install a custom sign in Tampa?
Timelines vary with complexity and permitting speed. Design and fabrication generally take 4 to 6 weeks; Florida’s municipal permitting process can add time on top of that.
Does Highmark serve areas outside Tampa?
Yes. Our shop is based in Daytona Beach and we serve Tampa, approximately 135 miles southwest via I-4, along with the rest of Hillsborough County and across Florida, contact us with your site address for a scope-specific answer.
