Why Jefferson Parish businesses choose OPA

Built in New Orleans. Installed across the parish.

For more than five decades our team has helped businesses, organizations, architects and contractors turn ideas into finished signs.

Design, fabrication, printing and installation all happen under one roof in our New Orleans facility. That keeps quality in our hands and projects on time, whether the job is one storefront in Elmwood or a sign program for a multi-tenant development in Metairie.

How a Jefferson Parish sign project works

From napkin sketch to installed sign

Some clients bring us full drawings and specs. Others bring a napkin sketch or a problem to solve. We meet you where you are. See how our process works.

  • Tell us what the sign has to do. Pull drivers off Jefferson Highway? Name every tenant in a center? Mark the entrance to a park? Once we know the job, we can recommend the right kind of sign for the property.

  • We work from your logo, your colors and the building itself, on site or from your drawings. For a multi-tenant property we design one sign program, so every tenant panel looks like it belongs to the same center.

  • You see drawings and renderings before anything is built. We also confirm which office permits your address, the parish or a city, so the design you approve is one we can file.

  • CNC routing, laser cutting, metal fabrication, painting and large-format printing happen in our own New Orleans shop. One team is accountable for how your sign turns out.

  • Our crews install what we build on both the East Bank and the West Bank, and we stand behind the work with a 12-month warranty.

CONTACT US

Yes. We’re headquartered in New Orleans and install across Jefferson Parish, from Metairie and Kenner to Gretna.

Do you work on both the East Bank and the West Bank?

1

Does my sign need a parish permit or a city permit?

2

It depends on the address. Unincorporated areas like Metairie and Elmwood go through the parish. Kenner, Gretna and Harahan run their own permits. We check before we file.

What does your permitting charge cover?

3

Filing, an engineering stamp and the technical drawings, for projects we build. There is no commercial markup on permitting.

Do you work with architects and general contractors?

4

Yes. We often build to an architect’s specs and work with contractors on mounting, electrical and installation logistics.

Can you build a sign program for a multi-tenant center?

5

Yes. Because design, fabrication and installation are under one roof, every tenant sign in the program is built to the same standard.
