Monument Signs in Havre de Grace, MD

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.

Located at 718 Girard St, we're part of this community — we've installed channel letters, monument signs, and LED displays for businesses along Washington Street, the waterfront district near Tydings Memorial Park, and the Route 40 commercial corridor for more than 75 years. Businesses from the Tidewater Grille to retailers near the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum and the Susquehanna Museum at Lock House have relied on Pollitt for signage. The town's mix of waterfront tourism, Main Street retail, and highway commercial traffic means signs must perform in very different environments — we design for all of them, and we know which sign types earn approval in each zone.

All monument signs installations in Havre de Grace 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.

Havre de Grace's waterfront tourism economy shapes how we approach monument signs here. Monument signs hold up better than internally lit cabinets against salt air, so we favor aluminum or engineered stone construction with corrosion-resistant hardware and a finish that fits the coastal town's aesthetic rather than a highway-style illuminated box.
