More Than Just a Sign
Custom Office Signs in Chicago That Actually Work
First impressions in a Chicago office happen in the elevator lobby. Within seconds of stepping off the elevator, a visitor reads your brand whether that is a backlit logo on the reception wall, dimensional letters floating over the front desk, or something generic that a previous tenant left behind.
Ambees Signage designs and installs complete office sign packages for Chicago companies taking new space, rebranding, or expanding floors. Lobby signs, conference room identification, wayfinding, ADA, and interior branding all coordinated as one system.
We work with property managers on building standards and landlord approvals, and we install after hours or on weekends so your team never loses a workday.

Helpful Quick Answers
FAQs
Do I need landlord approval for an office sign in Chicago?
Almost always. Most Chicago office buildings require landlord or property-manager approval for any sign attached to walls, glass, or common areas even inside your leased suite. We prepare drawings and sample finishes for you to submit, and we coordinate directly with building management when helpful.
Can you install after business hours?
Yes. The majority of our Chicago office installs happen evenings or weekends so your team is not disrupted. We coordinate building access, freight elevator reservations, and certificates of insurance in advance.
What is a realistic timeline for a lobby sign?
A custom dimensional lobby sign typically takes four to six weeks from approved design to install. Illuminated lobby signs run closer to six to eight weeks due to fabrication and electrical coordination.
Do you handle ADA compliance for office suites?
Yes. We audit your suite for permanent rooms that require ADA signage, produce compliant tactile and Braille signs, and install at the correct height and location under current federal and Illinois accessibility standards.
Can you remove old signage from the previous tenant?
Yes. Most of our Chicago office projects include demo, wall patching, and disposal of legacy signage before we install the new program. We leave the wall paint-ready if your GC is finishing the space.
