Frequently Asked Questions

Our premium vinyl lettering typically lasts 5-7 years under normal conditions. The longevity depends on factors like sun exposure, washing frequency, and vehicle usage. We use high-quality 3M and Avery materials that are designed to withstand Louisiana's climate, including intense sun, humidity, and frequent rain. With proper care and maintenance, many of our lettering jobs look excellent even after 8 years.

Absolutely! We can match virtually any color using our extensive vinyl color library and custom color matching services. If you have specific Pantone colors, brand guidelines, or existing materials to match, bring them during consultation. We also offer metallic, matte, gloss, and specialty finishes to perfectly complement your brand identity. Color matching is included in our standard service pricing.

Our pricing includes design consultation, material costs, professional installation, and a 5-year material warranty. We provide design mockups for approval, surface preparation, precise application, and post-installation care instructions. Additional services like rush orders, complex graphics, or specialty materials may have additional charges, which we'll discuss upfront during your consultation.

We regularly service customers within a 50-mile radius of Winnsboro, including Monroe, Ruston, West Monroe, and surrounding areas. For larger fleet projects (5+ vehicles), we travel throughout Louisiana and into neighboring states. Travel charges may apply for distances over 50 miles, but we often waive these fees for substantial projects. Contact us to discuss your specific location and project size.

We provide comprehensive design services as part of our standard offering. Our team can create everything from simple text layouts to complex custom graphics. If you have existing artwork, logos, or brand guidelines, we'll work with those. If not, we'll develop original designs that reflect your business professionally. Design consultation and initial mockups are included in all our service prices.

Yes, when properly installed and removed, our vinyl lettering should not damage your vehicle's paint. We use automotive-grade adhesives designed for clean removal. However, removal is easier within the first 5-7 years. For older applications or if removal is needed, we recommend professional removal to minimize any risk. We also offer removal services for lettering we've installed as well as work done by other shops.

We work on all types of commercial vehicles including pickup trucks, box trucks, trailers, semi-trucks, vans, service vehicles, and specialty equipment. Our experience covers everything from small contractor pickups to large tractor-trailers. We also work on boats, RVs, and other recreational vehicles. Each vehicle type may have specific considerations for material choice and application techniques.

Proper care is simple and will extend the life of your lettering. Wait 48-72 hours before washing after installation. Use gentle car wash soap and soft cloth or sponge. Avoid pressure washing directly on lettering edges, harsh chemicals, and abrasive materials. Regular washing actually helps maintain the appearance. We provide detailed care instructions with every completed project.

Yes, we understand that fleet projects represent significant investments. For projects over $2,000, we offer flexible payment arrangements including 50% down with completion balance, or extended terms for qualifying businesses. We accept cash, check, and major credit cards. Payment plans are designed to work with your business cash flow while ensuring project completion on schedule.

Lettering involves applying text, logos, and simple graphics directly to your vehicle's existing paint. Vehicle wraps cover larger areas or the entire vehicle with printed vinyl. Lettering is more cost-effective for basic company identification, while wraps allow for full-color graphics, photographs, and complete vehicle transformation. We'll help you choose the best option based on your budget, goals, and vehicle use.
