Pollitt Signs and Graphics — Harford County
Custom building-mounted wall signs — flat panels, dimensional letters, and illuminated channel letters — fabricated and wired in-house by our own licensed electricians. Serving businesses in Havre de Grace and Harford County since 1947.
Wall signs mount directly to your building and are the most direct way to put your name on your storefront — flat panels, dimensional letters, channel letters, and raceway-mounted systems, built to match your brand and your building's construction. Every sign is fabricated in-house at our Havre de Grace, MD shop, in aluminum, acrylic, PVC, HDU, wood, or metal, with mounting matched to your wall surface — brick, EIFS, stucco, or metal panel. Because we have licensed electricians on staff, illuminated wall signs — channel letters, backlit letters, and lightbox panels — are wired, permitted, and installed entirely in-house, with no outside electrician to schedule around. Our in-house permit department handles the applications, zoning variances, and landlord approvals that wall sign projects often require.
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 wall 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 wall signs here. Wall signs on waterfront storefronts need mounting hardware and materials that hold up to salt air and humidity, so we favor aluminum and marine-grade fasteners over standard steel hardware even for a modestly sized building sign.
