Introduction
Andrew needed new signs. Interior and exterior both. But he had no clue which designs would actually fit his brand or budget. Plus there was Chicago’s permitting nightmare to deal with. Legacy Sign Group walked him through everything… patiently.

The Challenge
Andrew wanted cohesive signage that looked sharp and matched his business vibe. He needed to stay within budget while exploring different options. And then there was Chicago’s permitting process, which is brutal. He needed a partner who could handle all of it without making him feel lost.
Main Challenges
- Picking designs that actually matched his business aesthetics.
- Working within budget while looking at multiple versions.
- Managing permits in a city known for strict regulations.
“I worked with DJ for our interior and exterior signs. He was a pleasure to work with and very patient with me along the process. He helped me work through several versions to pick one I was most comfortable with in my budget. Permit process took a bit, but that’s just what it is when you want to get work done properly in Chicago. Super happy with the final product.”
— Andrew, Chicago Business Owner

Step 3
We tackled all the permitting with Chicago authorities while fabricating the signs using quality materials. Andrew didn't have to chase paperwork.
