A sign shop, not a print broker

123 Signs is a fabrication shop in Chicago Ridge, Illinois. We route, weld, wire, print and install — and because all of that happens in Unit C rather than at three different subcontractors, we can tell you a real lead time and stand behind it.

We work mostly with businesses within about fifty miles: restaurants, clinics, auto shops, contractors, realtors, churches and schools across the south suburbs. Some of them we have re-signed twice as they have grown.

What we care about

Building it properly

Aluminum returns rather than plastic. Real welds. LEDs rated for ten Chicago winters. A sign is the only advertising you buy once and run forever, so it should be built like it.

Handling the permit

Municipal sign approval is the single scariest part of buying a sign, and it is the part most shops push back onto the customer. We file it. Here is how that works.

Telling you the truth about timing

Fabrication we control. Village plan review we do not. We quote both separately so you know which clock is ours.
