Window Graphics & Lettering
Your storefront glass is prime real estate — hours, phone number, logo, a seasonal promotion, all visible to anyone walking or driving by before they ever step inside. We design, cut, print, and install window graphics and vinyl lettering right here in our Burleson shop, which makes it one of the fastest and most affordable signage upgrades we offer, and one where we control every step from first proof to final squeegee pass.
What Window Graphics & Lettering Are Best For
Window lettering works for almost any storefront: hours and contact info in cut vinyl, your logo centered on the front door, frosted privacy film for offices and treatment rooms, or a full-color printed graphic that turns an entire window into a promotion.
It's meant to pair with your other signage, not replace it — a set of channel letters or a lit cabinet sign gets you noticed from the street, while window graphics do the close-range work once someone's at your door.
There's no permit, no survey, and no fabrication partner in the way, which is part of why it's such an easy add-on to almost any other project. See the full lineup on our custom signs page.
If you also brand vehicles, the same cut-vinyl skill set carries over — check our
vehicle wraps page for wraps and vehicle lettering.
Options, Materials & What Varies
Cost depends mostly on square footage and whether it's cut lettering or full-color print: basic hours-and-logo lettering typically runs $150 to $400, while larger frosted coverage or full-color print jobs covering most of a storefront window run more, priced by square footage and how much prep the glass needs.
Cut Vinyl Lettering
Opaque letters and logos for hours, addresses, and phone numbers. This is the most common storefront window sign and usually the least expensive option per job.
Frosted / Etched-Look Vinyl
Full-Color Printed Graphics
Perforated Window Film
Static Cling Vs. Adhesive Vinyl
Cling material removes cleanly with no residue, suiting short-run seasonal promotions, while adhesive vinyl is the better call for anything meant to stay up a year or more.
ADA & Suite Signage
Door and directional vinyl or raised-character panels for offices and medical suites with mounting-height and tactile-lettering requirements, often added to the same install visit.
Removable Vs. Long-Term Vinyl
Removable vs. long-term vinyl matters if you're a tenant who may move, or update messaging seasonally and don't want a redesign every time.
Installation & Timeline
Most jobs start with a quick design proof — send your hours, logo, or message and we'll lay it out to fit your actual window dimensions. Once you approve it, we cut or print the vinyl in-house and schedule the install, which for most storefronts takes an hour or two, not a full day.
A clean install starts with prep: we wash and dry the glass thoroughly and check for old adhesive residue, since a rushed application on a dirty window is the single biggest cause of early peeling.
Standard window lettering and film generally don't require a city permit; a larger installation that functions as your primary signage occasionally needs a look at local code, and we'll flag that if it applies.
Why Sign Shop of Burleson
Window graphics and vinyl lettering are one of the jobs our own team designs, cuts, and installs start to finish — no fabrication partner, no added markup for a middleman.
That keeps turnaround short and pricing straightforward, and if your hours or logo change down the road, updating it is a quick job, not a full sign replacement. We've cut enough storefront lettering over 20+ years to know how to lay it out so it reads well from the sidewalk and the street, not just up close.

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Graphics & Lettering
How much does storefront window lettering cost?
Basic cut vinyl lettering — hours, logo, phone number — typically runs $150 to $400 installed, with the low end covering a single door and the high end covering multiple panes or a larger logo. Larger coverage like frosted film or a full-color printed graphic costs more, generally priced by square footage plus a bit more for detailed art or one-way perforated film. Send us your window dimensions and what you want on it and we'll give you a straight number, usually same day.Frosted/privacy vinyl vs. full-color window graphics — which do I need?
Frosted (etched-look) vinyl is the right call when you need privacy without blocking all the light — treatment rooms, offices, conference rooms behind glass — and it holds up for years without yellowing. Full-color printed graphics are the pick when you want a promotion, a photo, or brand imagery that actually catches someone's eye from the sidewalk, though direct sun exposure will fade a printed graphic faster than solid frosted film over time. Some storefronts use both: frosted lower panels for privacy, full-color upper panels for branding. Tell us the goal and we'll recommend the mix.Will window vinyl damage the glass or peel in the heat?
No — properly installed vinyl doesn't damage the glass, and quality material is rated for Texas heat without bubbling or peeling prematurely, typically holding up for 3 to 5 years or more depending on sun exposure and whether it's adhesive or removable cling. The most common cause of early peeling is a rushed install on a dirty or improperly prepped window, which is why we clean and prep every surface before anything goes on and won't cut corners on that step even for a small job.Can you do vehicle window perf and hours-of-operation lettering too?
Yes. Perforated window film for vehicle back glass is the same one-way-vision material we use on storefronts, letting the driver see out while the graphic reads solid from behind, and hours-of-operation lettering is one of the most common single-item jobs we run — quick to design, quick to install, and easy to update later if your hours change or you move locations.How long does window lettering take?
Most jobs go from approved design to installed graphic in a few business days, since everything is produced in-house rather than sent out to a fabricator. Simple lettering — hours, phone number, a logo — can often be done same-week if you call ahead with your window size and content, and a straightforward install itself usually takes under two hours on-site.
