Highmark Lighting and Signage

Emergency & storm

Emergency Sign Repair & Storm Damage Response

When severe weather damages your commercial signage, Highmark deploys fast. Our own equipment fleet means we don't wait on rental trucks — we respond as soon as conditions are safe. Serving all of Florida.

Florida's storm season demands a sign company that can respond

When a hurricane, severe thunderstorm, or high-wind event damages commercial signage, the situation requires immediate attention. A damaged sign hanging from a building is a public safety hazard and a liability. Dark signs mean lost revenue for businesses trying to reopen. And insurance claims require prompt documentation of the damage before cleanup begins.

Highmark Lighting and Signage provides emergency sign response services across the entire state of Florida — the region most frequently affected by tropical storms and hurricanes. We have been doing this work since 2008, and we understand the unique challenges that come with post-storm sign recovery in ways that companies outside Florida simply don't.

The biggest advantage we bring to emergency situations is our own equipment fleet. After a major storm, every contractor in the region is scrambling for rental bucket trucks, aerial lifts, and crane access — and those trucks are unavailable. Our Elliott bucket trucks, crane semi, aerial lifts, and support vehicles are staged and ready to deploy. That is the difference between a 24-hour response and a two-week wait.

Our team has experience to handle complex jobs, such as the following

Damage assessment

Rapid on-site evaluation of storm damage to determine safety risk, repair scope, and insurance documentation needs

Emergency sign removal

When a damaged sign is a falling hazard, we remove or secure it fast to eliminate the safety risk

Sign stabilization

Temporary securing and bracing of partially damaged signs to prevent further damage until permanent repair

Temporary lighting

Keep your business visible during repairs with temporary sign lighting and illumination solutions

Insurance documentation

Detailed damage photography with dates, conditions, and repair scope — exactly what your insurance company needs

Emergency permitting

Expedited permit processing for emergency sign work — we know Florida's emergency permitting procedures

Permanent repair

Once conditions stabilize, we coordinate permanent sign repair or full replacement with fabrication partners

Pre-storm preparation

Scheduled inspections before hurricane season — tighten fasteners, document condition, simplify future claims

Before and after the strom - we help with both

Before hurricane season

  • Complete sign inventory and condition assessment
  • Fastener and anchor point inspection and tightening
  • Electrical connection check
  • Photograph current sign condition (simplifies insurance claims later)
  • Identify signs most vulnerable to wind damage
  • Temporary removal of lightweight banner signs and projecting elements

After storm damage

  • Emergency safety assessment — is the sign a falling hazard?
  • Immediate removal or securing of dangerous signs
  • Temporary lighting to keep your business visible
  • Detailed damage documentation for insurance filing
  • Emergency permit processing
  • Permanent repair or replacement coordination
  •  

For property management companies and national brands with multiple Florida locations, we offer pre-storm preparation contracts that cover all properties on a scheduled rotation before hurricane season. This proactive approach reduces damage, simplifies insurance claims, and gets your signs restored faster after an event.

Why Highmark responds faster

 After a hurricane, rental trucks disappear. Our Elliott bucket trucks, crane semi, and aerial lifts are staged and ready. We deploy when others are still waiting for equipment.

We have been working in hurricane-prone Florida since 2008. We understand post-storm logistics — blocked roads, intermittent power, emergency permitting schedules, and disrupted supply chains.

We work with municipal offices across Florida and know the emergency permitting procedures in each jurisdiction. Your paperwork doesn't stall the repair.

Our state of the art equipment which include LiDAR 3D Scanner, high definition cameras, Drone photography is detailed, dated, and organized exactly how insurance adjusters need it. This speeds up your claim process.

Daytona Beach to Miami, Jacksonville to Pensacola. Wherever your Florida locations are, we can get there.

One company, start to finish — Emergency removal, temporary lighting, permanent repair, permitting, and final inspection. You deal with one project manager, not five different vendors.
