About the Company

Built in Chicago. Made to glow.

JLE Led Signs is an American signage manufacturer and installer headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. We work with small and medium businesses, franchises, restaurants, retail stores, salons, gyms and offices — helping them turn a storefront into a landmark.

Who we are

The company was founded by Bryan Yarbrough with a simple idea: a sign is not decoration — it is the first salesperson a customer ever meets. That idea still drives every project we take on. We combine in-house design, CNC fabrication, LED engineering and certified electrical installation under one roof, so our clients deal with one team instead of five vendors.

Our workshop handles everything from a single illuminated window sign to full multi-location storefront rollouts. Every unit is built with UL-listed LED modules and drivers, weather-rated housings, and finishes that hold up to Midwest winters and coastal humidity alike.

  • In-house design and 3D rendering before production
  • UL-listed LED modules, drivers and wiring
  • Permit assistance for Chicago and surrounding municipalities
  • Licensed and insured installation crews
  • Service and repair for signs we did not originally build

How We Work

A clear path from idea to install.

No vague timelines and no surprise invoices. Every project moves through the same five stages, and you see exactly what is happening at each one.

01

Consultation & Site Survey

We talk through your goals, brand, budget and location. For local clients we visit the site to measure, photograph and check electrical access.

02

Design & 3D Mockup

You receive scaled drawings and a photoreal mockup of the sign on your actual storefront, along with a written quote and lead-time estimate.

03

Permits & Approvals

If your city or landlord requires a sign permit, we prepare and submit the paperwork and coordinate with the local sign code office on your behalf.

04

Fabrication

Your sign is built in our Chicago shop: CNC cutting, welding, painting, LED assembly and a full electrical burn-in test before it ever leaves the building.

05

Installation & Handover

Our licensed crew installs, wires and tests the sign on site, cleans up, and walks you through warranty coverage and maintenance basics.

Questions

Frequently asked.

How long does a custom LED sign take?

Most standard channel-letter and storefront projects ship in 7 to 14 business days after design approval and deposit. Larger monument, pylon or multi-location orders typically run 3 to 6 weeks depending on permit timelines.

Do you handle sign permits in Chicago?

Yes. We prepare drawings and submit permit paperwork to the City of Chicago Department of Buildings and surrounding municipalities. Permit fees are paid directly to the city and are separate from your sign invoice.

Do you ship outside of Illinois?

Yes. We ship signage to all 48 contiguous states. Signs are crated and freight-shipped, with installation either performed by our traveling crew or by a vetted local installer we coordinate with.

What warranty comes with your signs?

All new signs carry a 5-year limited warranty on LED modules and drivers, and a 2-year warranty on finish and structural workmanship. Warranty terms are provided in writing with every quote.

Can you repair a sign you did not build?

Absolutely. A large part of our service work is LED retrofits and repairs on signs originally installed by other companies. We diagnose on site, quote the fix, and can usually complete the repair within one or two visits.

What information do you need for a quote?

Send us your logo or design files, the approximate sign size, the install address, and a photo of the storefront or wall. That is usually enough for us to return a detailed quote within one business day.
