Signs for Businesses in Lombard
Lombard's commercial base spreads across the downtown district near the Metra station, retail and restaurant frontage on Roosevelt Road and Butterfield Road, the Yorktown area, a strong medical and dental presence, professional offices, and industrial and flex buildings on the north side of town. Downtown storefronts are pedestrian-scaled while Roosevelt and Butterfield are high-speed corridors, and a sign that works on one will fail on the other.
Downtown projects are usually dimensional or halo-lit letters, blade and awning signs, and window lettering. Corridor projects are larger illuminated channel letters, cabinet signs, LED retrofits and monument or pylon tenant panels. Medical and office tenants get monument signs, lobby logos, suite identification, ADA signage and privacy film. We handle the field survey, prepare permit drawings and submit to the village — useful if you're applying for a facade or signage improvement program, since the documentation is already prepared — then fabricate in-house and install with our own crew.
Popular Sign Options in Lombard
The most requested storefront sign in Lombard. Individually fabricated aluminum letters with LED modules, face-lit or halo-lit, mounted directly to the facade or on a raceway. Bright at night, clean in daylight, and built to survive Chicago-area winters.
A cost-effective option for Lombard strip centers and multi-tenant buildings. An aluminum cabinet with a printed or routed translucent face, lit evenly from inside. Faces can be reprinted later without replacing the whole cabinet.
Ground-level signs for Lombard buildings set back from the road: masonry or aluminum structures, push-through or lit panels, and multi-tenant layouts. We handle the footing details, drawings and tenant panel replacements later on.
Cut vinyl lettering, hours and logo decals, frosted privacy film and full-coverage promo graphics for Lombard storefronts. Fast to produce, easy to update seasonally, and often the quickest way to add branding while a larger sign is in permitting.
Reception logos, dimensional letters, acrylic standoff panels, neon-style LED and wall graphics for Lombard offices, clinics, salons and showrooms. Printed and fabricated in our shop, installed with laser-leveled layout so it looks right up close.

Sign Permits in Lombard, IL
Permitting is usually the longest part of a sign project in Lombard, and it starts with matching the design to what the local code and your property allow.
Sign size and height, whether the sign is illuminated, how it is mounted, how far it projects from the wall, the zoning district and the property or tenancy type can all affect what is permitted and what documentation is required. Landlord or shopping-center criteria may add another layer on top of the village or city review.
We prepare the sign drawings and technical documentation — dimensions, materials, mounting details and electrical information where illumination is involved — and submit the application on your behalf. If the reviewer asks for revisions, we make the changes and resubmit, then coordinate the install and any required inspection. We don't guess at requirements: we confirm them with the reviewing department before your project moves forward.
From Sign Design to Installation in Lombard
Site Survey & Measurements
We visit the property to measure the sign band or wall, check mounting surfaces, existing raceways and available power, and take reference photos.
Design & Digital Mockup
You get a to-scale mockup on a photo of your own building, with materials, letter heights and illumination clearly specified before anything is built.
Permit Coordination
We prepare the drawings the municipality asks for, submit the sign permit application and follow up with the building department until it is approved.
In-House Fabrication
Aluminum, acrylic, LED assembly, paint and vinyl are all produced in our own shop, so schedule and quality stay under our control.
Professional Installation
Our own crew installs and wires the sign, cleans the site and photographs the finished result. No subcontracted installers.
Lombard Sign Company FAQs
- Do you install storefront signs in Lombard?
- Yes. Lombard is inside our regular Chicagoland service area, and our own installation crew handles the work — channel letters, lightbox cabinets, blade signs, panel signs and dimensional letters. We do not subcontract installation.
- What types of business signs do you make?
- Storefront and exterior signs, channel letters, illuminated lightbox cabinets, interior and lobby signage, dimensional letters, window graphics and lettering, vehicle wraps and fleet graphics, plus LED illumination and retrofits.
- Do you install illuminated storefront signs?
- Yes. We fabricate and install front-lit and halo-lit channel letters, LED lightbox cabinets and backlit panels, and we also convert older fluorescent or neon signs to LED.
- Can you help with sign permits in Lombard?
- Yes. We prepare the drawings and documentation the village or city requires and submit the sign permit application on your behalf, then coordinate with the building department until it is approved. Landlord or property-manager approval is usually needed as well, and we can package the drawings for that too.
- Where are signs for Lombard businesses fabricated?
- In our own Chicago-area shop. Fabrication, paint, vinyl and LED assembly are done in house, which keeps lead times and quality under our control rather than a third-party vendor's.
- Do you provide site surveys in Lombard?
- Yes. Before fabrication we visit the property to measure the sign band or wall, check mounting conditions and available power, and photograph the site so the mockup and permit drawings reflect the real building.
- How long does a custom sign project take?
- Most storefront sign projects run about two to four weeks from approved design to installation. Simple window graphics and lettering are usually faster; permit review time is set by the municipality and is the most common cause of a longer schedule.
- Do you provide installation, or design and fabrication only?
- We handle the whole project — site survey, design and digital mockup, permit coordination, in-house fabrication and professional installation — so there is one point of contact from start to finish.
