What installers publish elsewhere
Few Southern California installers post their prices; most quote by job. Published prices from installers in other markets give a sense of the range (checked October 19, 2026):
- Post install with removal: roughly $45 to $100. For example, $55 install with free removal in Sacramento (The Sign Post), $58 in Phoenix (Leading Lister), $49 in the Chicago area (Oakley) and $100 in Reno (Up Down Sign Service).
- Open house sign placement: about $60 to $90 for 6 to 10 signs. For example, $60–$90 per weekend for up to 6 signs in the Bay Area (ProppedUp), and about $70 for 10 signs in Las Vegas (Rapid Sign Service) and from a national service (Place My Signs).
- A California statewide supplier lists $139 for a standard post installation (Real Estate Signs and Supplies).
