Your building sign is one of your most important first impressions. At Kona Impact, we specialize in building signs in Kailua-Kona and across the Big Island of Hawaiʻi — from exterior facade signs to interior lobby displays. Our signs are designed for durability in Hawaiʻi’s coastal climate, visibility from the street, and aligned with your brand identity and budget.
Local expertise. We understand the Big Island climate: salt air, sun exposure, wind — we build signs that last.
Material options for Hawaiʻi conditions. We offer aluminum, PVC, acrylic, cut vinyl, standoff panels and more — specially selected for island durability. (Example: “For outside business signs in Hawaii, we love to use aluminum and different types of PVC.”)
Tailored solutions. Whether you need large exterior building-mounted signage or window graphics for an interior space, we adapt to your needs and building type.
On-island convenience. Based in Kailua-Kona, we provide faster response, easier local coordination, and shorter lead times compared to mainland providers.
We deliver a wide array of building-sign solutions, including:
Exterior Building-Mounted Signs — mounted to walls or parapets, visible from the street.
Window & Door Graphics — including see-through perforated vinyl, full-color prints, and high-impact messaging.
Interior Lobby & Wayfinding Signs — e.g., standoff acrylic, PVC panels, wall vinyls for offices and commercial suites.
Cut-Vinyl Lettering & Logos for storefronts and doors.
Installation – We install window and interior signage only. We do not install exterior building-mounted signs.
Increased visibility & brand recognition. A strong exterior sign helps new customers find you and builds your presence in the community. According to industry data, a new or upgraded sign often boosts first-time visits.
Marketing 24/7. Your sign works full-time, even when you’re not open — unlike many other forms of advertising.
Durability for Hawaiʻi conditions. Using the right materials mitigates issues like corrosion, UV-fading, termite, and moisture damage.
Professional impression. When people drive by or walk into your building and see a well-crafted sign, it gives confidence in your business.
Location & visibility. How far is the sign from the street? Are there obstructions (trees, poles, parked vehicles)? Big Island wind or salt-air exposure can matter.
Material & finish. Aluminum, acrylic, PVC, and standoff hardware — each has pros/cons for durability and cost.
Design & branding alignment. Choose fonts, colors, logos, and lighting that match your brand and will be legible at a distance.
Budget & timing. Smaller window graphics or interior panels are fast to make and install and more budget-friendly–usually a matter of a few days. Larger signs, of coure, take more time.
Initial consultation & quote. We meet (onsite or remote) to discuss your building, frontage, business goals, budget and sign type. Or, if you have the measurements and know what you want, we can start there.
Design & proof. We develop your sign design — including size, materials, colors, and mounting details — and send you a visual proof.
Fabrication. Once approved, we build the sign in our workshop using materials suited for Kona conditions.
Installation. We can do interior and window graphic installs. We do not make or install exterior electrical signs.
After-care & maintenance guidance. We give you tips on cleaning and maintaining your sign so it stays vibrant for years.
Retail stores, restaurants and cafés in Kailua-Kona wanting an upgraded facade.
Commercial property owners and management companies looking for suite identification, way-finding or lobby signage.
Startup businesses in Hawaiʻi needing first-time signage that meets code and branding.
Visitor-facing brands and tourism operations that want to stand out in a competitive Kona market.
Local offices, medical clinics, service providers needing professional interior panels or exterior signage.
Q. What is the minimum size or budget for a building sign?
A. No one-size-fits-all — we work with everything from smaller window-mounted signs or lobby panels to much larger signs. We’ll provide options tailored to your comfort zone.
Q. How long does installation take?
A. Smaller signs (window graphics, interior panels) may take a few days.
Q. Will you handle the permit process?
A. Permits are the responsibility of the business.
Q. What materials work best for Hawaii’s climate?
A. We strongly recommend durable materials such as anodised aluminium, UV-rated acrylics or marine-grade PVC. These hold up better over years in sun, salt air and wind. We discourage the use of wood for exterior signs due to delamination, rot, termites and surface issues.
Whether you’re looking to refresh your facade, install directional signage or upgrade your interior identity signage, we’ve got you covered.

Let’s bring your brand into view and give your business the signage it deserves — right here in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island.
See-through windows – This is a great way to make your windows advertise your business without obscuring your view outside. The vinyl is perforated with small holes that allow one to look out the window—almost as if there is nothing on the window—while featuring a printed design on the street-facing side.
Cut-vinyl – Great for hours of operation, the name of the business, or contact information. We love to do business windows and doors because these are high-impact and eye-catching ways to guide and attract new customers.
Building-mounted signs – We have many options for signs mounted outside or inside a building. For outside business signs in Hawaii, we love to use aluminum and different types of PVC. These ensure durability and make a great investment for your business in Hawaii.
Note: We make no representations about compliance or non-compliance with the County of Hawaii sign code, or approval by building owners. Those are the buyer’s responsibility. Installation is typically the buyer’s responsibility.
