Signage That Follows a Project From Blueprint to Move-In
Shea Singer of My Sign Station
Construction projects generate signage requirements long before a building opens.
The relationship often starts with blueprint printing. My Sign Station provides plan printing in-house, and contractors reach out early — before signage is on anyone’s radar. That involvement continues through every phase.
Safety signs go up as work begins. Required postings appear on the green construction fences that line New York City job sites. As projects progress, additional notices follow: crane warnings, neighbor notifications, street closures. When the building is complete, apartment numbers, directories, and management signage must meet code before occupancy.
My Sign Station works across that entire sequence.
Led by Shea Singer, the company serves contractors and management companies throughout the New York City and tristate area. It specializes in signage for construction and property management — from planning through final installation.
Shea started as a salesman… and six years ago, he bought the company. The previous owner had several businesses and couldn’t give this one the focus it needed. By that point, Shea was handling more sales than he could keep up with, and the owner offered him the company. He has run it since.
Under his ownership, the company expanded from basic sign supply to managing full blueprint-based takeoffs and coordinating signage across entire buildings. Contractors send in plans. Required signage is identified per code, organized into coordinated packages, and produced and installed as projects near completion.
“Once we’re their signage provider for all their signage needs… he has one place where he comes.” Shea said.
Signage requirements don’t stay fixed. Codes evolve, violations get introduced, and what a property needs to remain compliant shifts over time. My Sign Station maintains a stocked, easy-to-order website for required signage and sends updates when regulations change. It also handles custom work — including large construction banners and full-building installations — through its in-house team.
Today, the company runs with seven people: production staff, installers, and office support.
This is Shea’s fourth year exhibiting at OJBA. Each year, the show translates into follow-up work. A contractor mentions a building nearing completion, sends over plans… and a signage takeoff gets done.
“Right after the show,” Shea said, “they send in the plans, we do the takeoff — and we get it done. Every year.”
