Sign Repair & Maintenance for Towson Businesses

A sign that's dark, flickering, or falling apart costs you customers every day it stays that way. Pollitt Signs and Graphics has repaired and maintained commercial signs throughout Harford County, Cecil County, and the greater Baltimore/Wilmington region since 1947 — regardless of who built the sign originally. Our licensed electricians handle every electrical repair in-house, from bulb and LED driver replacement to full rewiring, and as an authorized Watchfire LED distributor we also service and troubleshoot LED message centers. When a sign face, cabinet, or structure needs rebuilding, we fabricate the replacement parts ourselves at our Havre de Grace shop instead of special-ordering from an outside supplier.

Towson's status as the Baltimore County seat brings a dense mix of law offices, government contractors, retail, and Towson University-adjacent businesses along York Road, Joppa Road, and the Towson Town Center complex. Baltimore County's sign ordinances govern everything from the center's pylon directory signs to the York Road storefront channel letters, and the review process for new signs in Towson's established commercial districts runs 4–8 weeks. Our permit team manages Baltimore County submissions and coordinates with shopping center management for tenant signage packages — letter size standards, cabinet specifications, and landlord approval requirements.

All sign repair & maintenance installations in Towson require sign permits through the Baltimore County Office of Planning. As a Baltimore County sign company with over seven decades of permitting experience, our dedicated permit department handles the application, setback compliance review, and any variance requests. Baltimore County's Office of Planning typically reviews standard sign permit applications in about 4–8 weeks. Larger freestanding and pylon signs, digital message centers, and any sign that exceeds the county's standard height or setback allowances usually require a variance hearing, and tenant signage in shopping centers must also match the property's approved sign criteria on file with the county. You focus on your business; we handle the paperwork.

Towson's shopping-center retail environment shapes how we approach sign repair & maintenance here. Shopping-center signage failures affect not just one business but the property's overall image, so landlords and center management often want repairs scheduled fast and coordinated with the property's tenant sign criteria rather than handled ad hoc.

Sign Repair & Maintenance — Frequently Asked Questions

Do you repair signs your company didn't build?: Yes. We repair, maintain, and refurbish signs regardless of who built them or what brand they are. Our licensed electricians and in-house fabrication shop mean we can diagnose the problem, source or build the replacement part, and get your sign working again without contracting the work out.
What are the most common sign problems you fix?: The calls we get most often are burned-out bulbs and LED modules, failed ballasts and LED drivers, flickering or dark sections, storm and wind damage to cabinets and pole structures, faded or cracked sign faces, and wiring or electrical failures. Because we have licensed electricians on staff, we can handle the electrical diagnosis and the repair in the same visit.
Do you offer sign maintenance contracts or scheduled inspections?: Yes. A scheduled inspection catches small problems — a loose panel, a failing driver, corroding wiring — before they turn into a dark sign or a safety hazard. Ask us about setting up a regular maintenance schedule for your sign.
How fast can you get to a broken or dark sign?: A broken or dark sign costs you business every day it's down, so we treat repair calls as a priority and work to get to them promptly. Call us with what you're seeing and we'll give you a straight answer on timing before we schedule the visit.
