Surveys Removals, Installation
Evaluation of properties, reconnaissance surveys, sign recommendations, nationwide Installations are carried out using proven scientific methods and procedures with utmost care and caution to get the job done first time right . We have attached a few typical templates used in standard Signage program management for you to glance at. These will give you an idea of our experience and depth of understanding and competence in handling these programs for Exhibits or Signage to your delight.
Maintenance & Warranties
Color-Ad, Inc offers Warranty on our products and services or all signs manufactured for specific periods of time as mutually agreed. Color-Ad, Inc. also offers service contracts for Maintenance from thereon based on Volumes and mutually negotiated contract conditions
Notes
All above stages will be monitored and reviewed through periodical progress meetings chaired and coordinated by Program Director.
The above process is typically adopted for manufacturing for all new Multi Location Programs. This process is subject to change based on individual project needs and Project volumes.
For Installation beyond our geographical region (VA, D.C., Maryland, Delaware, PA, NJ, NY), we use pre qualified national companies who go through a similar process to handle simultaneous multi location installations as per the program Gantt charts (Timeline Charts)
