Signage
Storefront, wayfinding, window and wall, banners, and recognition walls. We walk the space, design it, produce it, and our own crew hangs it.
Most people find you by looking for your sign. If they cannot read it from the road, the rest of your marketing is doing extra work.
In Southeast Missouri the people who print it are the people who hang it. Nobody to schedule around and nobody to blame if it needs a redo.
We come measure the actual wall. Then a proof and a quote inside 24 to 48 hours.
Google reviews for tpc in Cape Girardeau. Read them before you call anybody.
Confirm 4.8 / 98 is still current before publish. That figure was captured in early August 2026 and review counts move.
Six kinds of
sign, one crew
Indoor and outdoor. New buildings, rebrands, and the sign that has been faded since 2019.
Storefront & building
The sign people use to find you. Faces, panels, and building graphics sized to be read from the road, not from the parking lot.
tabor · Storefront graphics
Wayfinding & directional
Room numbers, floor directories, exterior directionals. Built as a system so the twelfth sign matches the first one.
Lutheran Home · WayfindingPlaceholder image. Swap for the real Lutheran Home wayfinding photo. It is in the asset list but I could not find a live URL for it. Ask Makayla or Riley.
Dimensional letters
We design the letters and spec the material, finish, and depth. They get made to that spec, then our crew sets the pattern and installs them. You deal with us, not with three companies.
Needs a named pieceHARD RULE. tpc does not fabricate, and the fabrication partner is never named, on any page, ever. This copy says design, spec, install. Do not let anyone edit it back to "we build" or add a vendor name. Also: /solutions/signage/dimensional-lettering/ is a live indexed sub-page about this exact service and nobody has read it in this pass. Open it and check the same claim.
Banners & event signage
Vinyl, mesh, pull-up, step and repeat, feather flags. Printed here, so a reprint before a Friday event is a real option.
JSCAA · Pull-up banner
Window & wall graphics
Frosted privacy film, full wall murals, window perf. We print, laminate, cut, and weed the vinyl in the building.
SEMO · Residence Life wall art
Donor & recognition walls
Donor walls, halls of fame, timelines. The kind that gets a name added every year, so we plan them to be added to.
SEMO · Donor plaque wallSigns you have
already walked past
Six pieces. The spec wants 12 to 20 and this is the single biggest gap on the page. Still needed, with live URLs: Saxony monument, Lutheran Home wayfinding, Lutheran Home lobby, FLY wall graphic, Notre Dame Regional signage. Alan Wire mural and Alan Wire frosted window are shot and ready but stay out until the written approval lands. Four SEMO captions in a row also reads thin, so a mix is worth chasing.
Want yours in this grid?
Four steps,
no mystery
We walk the space
Same day or next. We measure the wall, photograph it, and check what we are mounting into. Templates guess. Measuring does not.
You see it on your building
The proof goes on a photo of your actual wall, at actual scale. Then a quote. Both inside 24 to 48 hours of the visit.
We produce it
Printed, laminated, and cut here. Dimensional letters are made to our spec and come back to us for install.
Our crew installs it
Our people, our ladders, our lift. We schedule around your hours, not ours.
Permits are missing from this process and every signage competitor addresses them. Ziglin sells permitting as a service. Answer needed: does tpc pull permits, coordinate them, or hand them to the client? Add it as step two or fold it into step one.
Ask them, not us
4.8 stars across 98 Google reviews. Read them all before you call anybody.Googletpc, Cape Girardeau
One cell on purpose. There is no named signage review cleared for use, and the spec forbids padding this grid with invented cells. This is the highest value missing asset on the page. Servpro, SEMO, or Lutheran Home would each carry it. One named signage quote beats another six portfolio tiles.
Signage FAQ
Do you come look at the space first?
Yes, and we try to be there the same day. Next day at the latest. We measure the wall, photograph it, and check the substrate we are mounting into. A proof and a quote follow inside 24 to 48 hours. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and we will tell you upfront if a job cannot hit it.
Do you install it, or do I hire somebody?
We install it. The crew is on tpc payroll, not subcontracted. Same people who printed the vinyl. That means one number to call, one schedule to coordinate, and nobody pointing at anybody else if a panel needs to come back down.
What about dimensional letters?
We design them and spec the material, finish, and depth, then have them made to that spec. We do not cut metal here. What we do is set the pattern and install them, so you deal with one company instead of three. One quote, one contact, one crew on site.
How long will an outdoor sign last?
Honest answer: it depends, and anyone who gives you one number for every sign is guessing. Material, sun exposure, and which direction it faces all move it. A south-facing wall in July is a different job than a covered entry.
Graphics run on Avery Dennison vinyl. Beyond that, the material gets picked for where the sign is going, not off a default list. We aim for the most durable option that still makes sense on price, because the cheapest material is rarely the cheapest sign once you count the second one.
So tell us at the site visit if lifespan matters more than cost on this one. That changes what we recommend, and it is a cheaper conversation to have before we quote than after you replace it.
Does this need a permit?
Sometimes. It depends on the city, the size, and whether it is lit. We check during the site visit and tell you before you commit to anything, so it is not a surprise after the sign is built.
If yours needs one, we will walk you through what it takes.
What happens if it gets damaged?
Call us. We keep your files, so a replacement panel matches the original instead of being a close guess. Most single-panel replacements do not require redoing the whole sign.
File retention CONFIRMED by Cap: files are kept after a job for reference and reorder consistency. Still open: the actual damage policy, meaning what is covered, for how long, and roughly what a single panel replacement runs. The wraps page now has Cap's framing on this ("if it failed because of our install we fix it") and the same framing may apply here.
The other five
Most clients came for one thing and stayed for six. Once your brand is set up here, the rest gets easier and cheaper.
Service area
Farmington: RESOLVED. Office closed, service area stays. Remove Farmington from every address block, the footer, and the Google Business listing. Keep this link and build the geo page. Still open: all eight of these pages are unbuilt. Do not publish this block until they exist or these are eight 404s.
Past that, we still install. Our crew travels for work in St. Louis, Carbondale, and Caruthersville. Farther out we set it up with installers we have worked with and manage the job from here. Either way you call one number.
Caruthersville and St. Louis are named here but are not in the eight links above. Decide whether the service area list is regional only, in which case travel work lives in this paragraph, or whether it grows. Do not grow it without real geo pages behind it. The brief already warns against thin geo pages and that gets worse at this radius, not better.
What is the sign you have been meaning to replace?
Tell us where it is and we will come look at it. Site visit same day or next. Proof and quote inside 24 to 48 hours.
