Pollitt Signs and Graphics — Harford County
Ground-mounted signs built from brick, stone, and aluminum in our own shop since 1947, giving your property lasting curb presence and prestige. Serving businesses in Edgewood and Harford County since 1947.
Monument signs sit low to the ground on a solid, engineered base — built from brick, stone, aluminum, or foam — and read as permanent and well cared for the moment someone pulls into your lot. We've designed, fabricated, and installed monument signs across Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania since 1947, and every sign leaves our Havre de Grace shop rather than a subcontractor's. If your monument includes illumination or a digital display, our own licensed electricians wire it in-house, and as an authorized Watchfire LED distributor we can build in a message center made to last. Our in-house permit department handles the zoning variances, HOA approvals, and municipal permits every ground-mounted sign requires, and our team manages structural engineering and foundation work from design through installation.
Edgewood's Route 40 corridor carries heavy commuter traffic between Aberdeen and the Baltimore area, making sign visibility especially valuable for businesses competing for pass-by customers. The Edgewood Road commercial area, the Route 40 strip near Hanson Road, and the industrial parks off Route 24 represent three different business environments that require different sign solutions. Auto dealerships and industrial tenants need large pylon signs readable at a distance; medical offices and retail along Edgewood Road need monument signs and channel letters that project professionalism at lower traffic speeds. We've served all three zones and understand what works in each.
All monument signs installations in Edgewood require sign permits through the Harford County Department of Planning and Zoning. As a Harford County sign company with over seven decades of permitting experience, our dedicated permit department handles the application, setback compliance review, and any variance requests. Harford County routes sign permit applications through its Planning and Zoning office, and most standard applications are reviewed within 2–4 weeks of submission. Illuminated signs and any request that exceeds the standard height, size, or setback limits for the property's zoning district typically require a variance hearing before the county's Board of Appeals. You focus on your business; we handle the paperwork.
Edgewood's high-speed commuter corridor shapes how we approach monument signs here. On a fast-moving corridor a monument sign needs a wider cabinet and larger letter height than one built for a slower street, since it has less time to register before the entrance, so we scale the base and cabinet to the road's speed rather than a standard size.
