Installation FAQs

Whether your project calls for large-scale wall graphics, intricate ADA signage, or eye-catching dimensional letters, our team installs signage with precision and care. We work across industries—corporate, healthcare, education, retail, and more.

How are installations scheduled?

We schedule installations only after final design proofs are approved by the client—this ensures accuracy and alignment before production begins. The timing of your install depends on our production schedule and project complexity.

To streamline the process, we’ll need a few key details:
• Installation location
• Site access information
• On-site contact person
• Preferred dates and availability

Please note: For exterior graphic installations, weather can impact scheduling—we’ll work closely with you to choose an optimal day.

How does weather impact my exterior graphic installation?

Weather plays an important role in exterior vinyl and signage installations. For safety and quality reasons, we are unable to install outdoor vinyl graphics or film in rainy conditions.

In colder weather, installation is typically not possible when temperatures fall below 50°F. Adhesives used for outdoor signage require mild temperatures to bond properly—installing in the cold can compromise both appearance and longevity.

We’ll monitor the forecast closely and work with you to find the best window for your installation.

Special Requirements

Are there special steps that need to followed prior to union installation?

No, there are no special requirements. Please keep in mind Cushing can still complete a site survey and take measurements on your job or work site, WITHOUT being union labor. You don’t need union labor to visit a site prior to installation and make recommendations.

It comes down to this: Once a hammer or drill is picked up, or graphics are being installed on a job site that is 80,000K square feet or above, you need union labor.
