HDU signs are the latest thing in, hardy but attractive replacements for those that are made of wood. A petroleum-based substance, “high density urethane” is used as a material for this for a variety of reasons. It hasn’t become so popular that it has replaced high quality woods completely in this respect, but it is gaining a strong foothold in the industry.

Baton Rouge Signs Company Prepares for 2009 Hurrican Season by Looking at 2008’s Gustav

A Baton Rouge signs company (http://www.greaterbatonrougesigns.com) prepares for the 2009 hurricane season with a look back at the damage done by 2008’s Hurricane Gustav to their customers’ signs, such as Ambrosia Bakery. As a local company, Greater Baton Rouge Signs, is able to respond quickly to customers with missing or broken signage after a storm.

Baton Rouge, LA (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 29, 2009 — Officially starting June 1, the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season is forecast at a normal level. Experts predict up to three major storms reaching as high as category five and up to 14 named tropical storms. However, as residents in the Gulf Coast region know, hurricanes are not predictable, and preparations should start now for the upcoming months.

John Kovalcik, owner of Greater Baton Rouge Signs, in Baton Rouge LA, has started to ready his customers and his staff now. Damage to signs from high winds and rough weather can have a big impact on business revenue at any time, but especially in the aftermath of a storm.

“We work hard to create a relationship with each of our customers. Hurricane Gustav from last August tested us on our response to getting our customers’ signs back up as quickly as possible,” comments Kovalcik.

Indeed, Hurricane Gustav blew through Baton Rouge on September 1, 2008, putting half of Baton Rouge residents without power for weeks, and caused roughly $4.5 billion to $10 billion in property damage, according to Louisiana Economic Development, with a heavy impact on business signage:

• $2 billion to $4.5 billion for homes, vehicles and personal property
• $1 billion to $2.5 billion for commercial structures, property and inventory
• $1.5 billion to $3 billion for other property (e.g., agriculture, fisheries, infrastructure)

Kovalcik illustrates his company’s efforts immediately after Gustav, “We had a sign that was installed days before Gustav. The sign was 98% complete on 8-22-08; then Gustav made landfall on September 1. Plus, we had a tornado that was a byproduct of the hurricane.”

The damage was done to a joint project for The Magma Group, which consists of Ambrosia Bakery, Yvonne Kelleher’s Rug Place, Lewy Physical Therapy. This project is a prime example of the damage potential from hurricanes. When the job was at the completion stage in late August, the hurricane destroyed the sign with over $10,000.00 of damage.

The signs collection affected included the most popular signage available with electronic message boards and lighted signs (flexible panels illuminated with fluorescent lights).

With business directly affected by the hurricane, Ambrosia Bakery, who provides cakes and baked good locally and ships Mardi Gras King cakes nationwide, understands the real economic impact of the sign damage. Kovalcik worked diligently with Felix Sherman Jr, of Ambrosia Bakery, who oversaw the sign project on behalf of The Magma Group, to get the sign replaced.

Kovalcik again, “Where we have completed the installation of Ambrosia’s new sign, there are businesses around Baton Rouge who still have not gotten a satisfactory response from their sign company for Gustav damage.” He continues, “As a local company we are able to be much more responsive to our customers with answers and on-site work.”

His advice to every business is to consider hiring a local, reputable sign company who will work with your business; you should not choose to be just the next customer to a large corporate sign shop. It is this personalized approach that Greater Baton Rouge Signs attributes to their credibility in the local market.

Electronic Message Boards - Find One to Suit Your Needs

Be Aware!! Baton Rouge enforcing section of the sign ordinance involving Banners!!

It appears that Baton Rouge is enforcing the section of the sign ordinance involving the displaying of Banners. The Section involved is: Chapter 16. 16.12 Temporary Signs. B3.Special event signs. It states, “Any one business, individual, or organization may display a Banner Sign on as many occasions as needed during a twelve (12) month period provided the sign is attached only to the building and shall drape in a manner parallel to and not perpendicular to the building.”

If you follow the above language you DO NOT need a permit. If you want to display Banners outside the above language YOU WILL need a permit and there are perimeters in their use.

One of my Clients receiving a Citation Letter in the mail along with a fine for $117.00 – thought you should know. It is my opinion that the city is finding a large amount of abuses with Banners and that is why they are doing this.

If you need to purchase a new banner to avoid citations, call us at (225) 937-3643.

St. John Baptist Church

I am writing this letter to say thank you for your response, diligence and overall support in completing the upgrade and transformation of our old manual sign to modern electronic message boards. The Church is highly pleased with the finished product and I have received numerous favorable comments from others who have seen it. The boards look good and the associated software is very easy to use.

Our Church is very active and the electronic boards allow us to quickly post events and activities. We offer an after-school tutoring program at the Church. Up until the installation of the electronic boards, we would usually see 5 - 6 children for the tutoring sessions. We posted the tutoring program with its times on the new electronic boards, and now we are consistently seeing more than 20 students per session. We now have so many students that we have had to bring on additional tutors and have added an additional day to the schedule. The increase that we are seeing is owed entirely to the new electronic boards. So again, I want to thank you an excellent job and for aiding our Church in its efforts to better serve the community.

Sincerely yours,
Reverend Donald R. Ruth, Pastor

The sign is definitely getting noticed as people all over town are coming up and complimenting us and we are already getting new business directly from the sign. I have also noticed an uptick on the website almost immediately after it was installed. Thanks again.

Dear Mr. Kovalcik, I wanted to take the time and thank you for the signs I ordered from you. I know it has been over 2 years since the signs have been installed. I wanted to tell you they still look new! When I ordered my signs, you talked about the different qualities of materials and explained to me about lettering that shrinks and cracks. Well at the time I didn’t truly understand what you were saying. Now I really appreciate the extra time you took explaining to me that quality materials really do make a difference. Thank you again! Sincerely, Ginger Murray, ABR, SRS Broker

The event went FANTASTIC! The banners you did looked GREAT! From where they were hung, no pixilation at all! The vendors featured said they looked awesome. I have a couple of photographers who took pictures and I’ll probably have those by the end of the week.
