Banners for the site
A job-site fence banner carries the company name large, what you are building, and the phone number, with the license number underneath where the county asks for one. On a long fence, a 3 × 8 ft mesh banner is the usual choice: it stays readable from the street and lets the wind through.
- Another project by: for the finished house, while the dumpster is still there.
- Now scheduling: spring projects, fall work or snow plowing, with the season as its own line.
- Pool openings: booked in early spring, taken down by Memorial Day.
- Hiring: service technicians and carpenters, with the pay.
License lines and site rules
Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Nassau, Suffolk and New York City want your home improvement license number on advertising, and a banner on a fence is advertising. Commercial projects often have their own sign rules in the contract or the site plan approval; ask the general contractor before you hang one. Keep "licensed and insured" for when you are both.
Built to be reused
Leave the project address off and one banner moves from job to job for years. 13 oz vinyl is fine for a season; 18 oz heavy duty lasts longer in the sun and wind. Every banner is hemmed and grommeted, with grommets about every two feet so it pulls tight against the fence.
From the shop: Take a photo of the banner on every job. A gallery of banners on real sites is the best proof of how busy you are.
