Since 1991, Pro-Care Sign & Electric has been a family-owned, full-service sign company based in Chicago, IL. We design, manufacture and install custom business signage for companies of all sizes, from single storefront signs to multi-location rollouts across the Chicago area, managing every project from initial survey through final installation.
Serving Chicago, Skokie, Niles, Palatine, Northbrook, Schaumburg, Downers Grove, Arlington Heights and surrounding suburbs.
One licensed team handling design, fabrication, permitting, installation and electrical work — from your first call to the final switch-on.
We are not a national franchise or a print shop that handles signs on the side. Pro-Care Sign & Electric has served the Chicago business community since 1991, with deep knowledge of local permitting requirements, city building codes and landlord approval processes. We also bring in-house electrical capability to the table, so illuminated signs and lighting projects stay with one team instead of requiring a separate electrician.
From site survey and permit filing to custom fabrication, installation and ongoing service, we manage your entire sign project. You work with one team from the first call to the final installation, with no handoffs to outside contractors or vendors.
Over three decades we have completed sign projects for businesses across retail, healthcare, food and beverage, banking, real estate and property management throughout Chicago and the suburbs. Whether you need a single storefront sign or a coordinated signage program across multiple locations, we have the capability and the crew to deliver.
We are a full-service commercial sign company serving businesses throughout Chicago and the surrounding area. Below is an overview of what we offer. Click through to each service page for full details.
Custom illuminated channel letters are the most visible way to identify your business day and night. We design, fabricate and install front-lit, back-lit and halo-lit channel letters for storefronts, shopping centers and commercial buildings across Chicago.
Cabinet signs, also called lightbox signs, provide high-visibility illuminated signage for retail, hospitality and healthcare facilities. We fabricate single-sided and double-sided cabinet signs in a range of sizes and configurations.
Pylon and monument signs give your business maximum visibility from the road. We handle the full project including structural requirements, city permitting and professional installation for both pole-mounted pylon signs and ground-set monument signs throughout Chicago and the suburbs.
LED electronic message centers let you display dynamic, changeable content around the clock. Ideal for businesses that want to promote daily specials, events or announcements. We supply, install and program EMCs for a wide range of commercial applications.
Dimensional letters add depth and a premium look to any facade, lobby or interior wall. Available in acrylic, aluminum and foam. We custom fabricate dimensional letters to your exact brand specifications.
From reception signage and wayfinding systems to ADA-compliant room identification signs, we design and install interior signage that guides your customers and meets federal accessibility requirements.
Turn your vehicles into mobile advertising with custom graphics and full or partial wraps. We design, print and install vehicle graphics and wraps that keep your branding consistent and visible everywhere your business goes.
Vinyl lettering and window graphics are a cost-effective way to brand your storefront, display business hours or promote seasonal offers. We cut and install precision vinyl graphics for storefronts, walls and windows.
Custom-printed banners are a fast, affordable option for grand openings, promotions and events. We print in a variety of sizes and materials, finished and ready to hang.
Flickering, dimming or completely dark? Our service team diagnoses and repairs LED signs, illuminated cabinet signs and channel letters throughout Chicago. We also offer LED retrofitting to upgrade older signs for better brightness and lower energy costs.
We handle professional sign installation for all sign types including rooftop signs, facade-mounted signs and ground-set pylons. Our crew conducts pre-installation site surveys to confirm measurements, assess conditions and identify permitting requirements before work begins.
Chicago's sign permitting process involves multiple city departments and, in many cases, landlord approval. We manage permit applications, city coordination and documentation on your behalf so your project stays on schedule.
We design and install parking lot lighting for commercial properties as part of our full-service offering. Proper lot lighting improves safety and visibility for your customers and staff.

Yes. We manage every stage in-house: design, custom fabrication, permitting, installation and ongoing service. We also bring in-house electrical capability for illuminated signs and lighting, so you do not need to bring in a separate electrician for those projects.
Most permanent exterior signs in Chicago require a permit from the Department of Buildings, and many locations also require landlord or property manager approval. Pro-Care Sign manages this entire process for you: preparing drawings, submitting the application, coordinating with the city and handling landlord documentation, so your project stays on schedule without you having to navigate city departments yourself.
There is no single price, because cost depends on several factors: the type of sign, its size, the materials, whether it is illuminated, the complexity of the installation and any permitting required. A vinyl banner sits at the low end, while a large illuminated pylon or a full set of channel letters sits at the higher end. The most accurate way to budget is to request a free quote and we will provide a detailed estimate for your specific project.
Most custom sign projects take about 3 to 6 weeks from approval to installation, though every project is different. Timelines depend on the type of sign, the permitting requirements and the fabrication involved. Once we understand your project, we provide a clear schedule covering design, permitting, fabrication and installation so you know what to expect at each stage.
Yes. We regularly work with businesses and property managers that need consistent signage across several locations. We coordinate surveys, permitting and installation at each site, and can act as the local fabrication and installation partner for regional or national rollout programs in the Chicago area.
The right sign depends on a few things: where your business is located, how much visibility you need from the road, your branding and budget, and the sign code restrictions that apply to your specific address in Chicago. Whether an illuminated exterior sign or interior signage makes more sense comes down to your goals and foot traffic. We are happy to assess your location and recommend the best approach before you commit to anything.
Businesses choose Pro-Care Sign because we have been family-owned and Chicago-based for over 35 years, not a national franchise, and we manage the complete sign project from survey and permitting through fabrication, installation and service, with a single point of contact from start to finish. Our team brings hands-on expertise across a wide range of sign types, from channel letters and cabinet signs to pylon signs, monument signs and electronic message centers, so you get the right solution for your specific business.
