Storefront & Exterior Business Signs in Chicago
Illuminated channel letters, lightboxes, dimensional letters, blade signs, awnings and full storefront identities. One vendor, from design to install.
Done right, the first time.
Illuminated Channel Letter Signs
Custom front-lit, halo-lit and combination-lit channel letters provide clear visibility during the day and after dark. Letter shape, depth, face color, returns, trim caps and mounting method can be adapted to your logo and storefront.
LED Storefront Signs
Energy-efficient LED lighting can be incorporated into channel letters, cabinet signs and illuminated logo signs. We plan the lighting, power supply, mounting and service access as part of the complete exterior sign system.
Cabinet and Lightbox Signs
Illuminated sign cabinets are a practical choice for retail stores, restaurants and service businesses that need a large, highly visible sign face. New cabinets can be fabricated from scratch, while suitable existing cabinets may be refaced or converted to LED lighting.
Dimensional Letters and Logos
Non-illuminated dimensional letters create a clean, professional appearance for offices, clinics, salons, retail locations and commercial buildings. Available materials may include acrylic, aluminum, PVC and other exterior-rated substrates.
Blade and Projecting Signs
Blade signs project outward from the building, making the business easier to identify for pedestrians and drivers approaching from either direction. They are especially useful on busy commercial streets and multi-tenant storefronts.
Awning Signs
Custom awnings combine storefront identification with practical protection around entrances and windows. Graphics, lettering and colors can be coordinated with the primary exterior sign.
Monument and Pylon Signs
Freestanding monument and pylon signs improve visibility for shopping centers, standalone businesses and commercial properties located farther from the road.
Storefront Window Graphics
Window lettering, logo graphics, business hours, promotional displays and perforated window film can extend your storefront branding across the glass.

Common questions.
- What types of storefront signs do you make?
- We fabricate and install channel letters, lightboxes, dimensional letters, blade signs, awning signs, monument signs, pylon signs, and storefront window graphics.
- Can you design a storefront sign from my existing logo?
- Yes. We can adapt your logo into a sign-ready design, choosing the right materials, lighting, and mounting to match your brand and building.
- What is the best exterior sign for a retail store?
- It depends on your location and visibility. Channel letters and illuminated cabinets are the most popular retail choices because they stand out day and night.
- Do you make illuminated and LED storefront signs?
- Yes. We build front-lit, halo-lit, and combination-lit channel letters, plus LED lightboxes and illuminated logo signs.
- Can you reface or relight an existing sign cabinet?
- Often yes — if the cabinet is structurally sound, we can replace the face and convert the lighting to LED for a fraction of the cost of a new sign.
- Do you handle storefront sign permits?
- Yes. We prepare drawings, submit applications, and coordinate inspections with the local village or city.
- How long does a custom storefront sign take?
- Most projects take 2–4 weeks from approved design to installation, depending on permitting, fabrication, and scheduling.
- Can you install window graphics with the main storefront sign?
- Yes. We can design, produce, and install window lettering, perforated film, and promotional graphics as part of the same project.
- What materials are used for exterior business signs?
- We use aluminum, acrylic, polycarbonate, PVC, and other exterior-rated substrates built to handle Chicago weather year-round.
- Do you install storefront signs throughout the Chicago suburbs?
- Yes. We serve Chicago and the surrounding suburbs with in-house fabrication and our own install crews.
