Residential Work In Progress Signs

Description

On a residential job in New York City, a Work In Progress sign is one of the first things a DOB inspector looks for at the fence line. This sign is made to NYC Department of Buildings requirements for residential projects — correct size, correct layout, and clearly organized fields for your permit number, contractor name, and emergency contact information.

We print every sign in-house at our NYC facility at the full 36.5″ × 55″ DOB format. Choose coroplast for shorter jobs, or aluminum when the sign needs to survive multiple seasons mounted to a fence or sidewalk shed. Both are printed with UV- and weather-resistant inks rated for year-round outdoor exposure.

Send us your project details and we typeset them before printing, so the sign arrives ready to mount — no stencils, no hand lettering. Standard delivery across the five boroughs and Long Island runs 2–3 business days, with rush production available on most orders.

Running multiple sites? Ask about contractor accounts and volume pricing — we keep your details on file so re-orders take one phone call. Pair it with our DOB Informational Panel to cover your full posting requirements.
