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.

What We Build in Alachua 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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between channel letters and cabinet signs?
Channel letters are 3D letters mounted individually, often lit, and read as a higher-end treatment for Gainesville businesses. Cabinet signs are a single boxed unit with a translucent face, generally cheaper to build and simpler to update later.
How long does it take to design and install a custom sign in Gainesville?
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 Gainesville?
Yes. Our shop is based in Daytona Beach and we serve Gainesville, approximately 100 miles west via SR-40 and I-75, along with the rest of Alachua County and across Florida, contact us with your site address for a scope-specific answer.
