Chicago possesses many admirable traits. Anthropomorphized by Carl Sandburg (or was it legendary Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg?) as the "City of Broad Shoulders, " the city offers nearly inexhaustible cultural diversions on par with New York City. However, the city pairs urbane tastes with an unassuming, Midwestern aura that makes it fertile ground for traditional craftsmanship.
For over forty years, The Wooden Sign Company has specialized in the design and fabrication of signs for the hospitality industry. We are proud to have played a role in shaping the way many of our neighborhood bars and restaurants are perceived by the general public.

For nearly 50 years, we have refined our craft to offer our clients high quality workmanship using the finest gold leaf available. With gold leaf, you truly get what you pay for as the alternatives lack the brilliance inherent to 23k gold. The leaf is applied to the surface once it has been sanded, primed, enameled and varnished with gold size.
Willows of Wadsworth - Wadsworth, IL - We created two of these monument signs to grace the entryways of the Willows neighborhood. These sandblasted Cedar signs feature cnc carved willow trees, 23k Gold leaf lettering. Wiltgen Residence Sign - Lake Geneva, Wiscosnin - The Wiltgen family commissioned us to create this custom sandblasted, Cedar sign for their new home in the historic Black Point neighborhood in Lake Geneva.
HDU or High Density Urethane offers many benefits to interior and exterior signage. HDU is a closed cell foam material that does not absorb moisture making it extremely stable and relatively unaffected by temperature. HDU will not warp, rot, crack, or decompose. It is lightweight and very easy to machine or carve.

We had the wooden sign company make us a custom sign for our coffee shop and it turned out way better then expected! He met with us a few times and gave us a few different sketches and choices to pick from. After deciding on which one we wanted to go with he kept us informed during the whole process and even let us come to the shop and check the progress a few times. Wouldn't ever want anyone else to make a sign for our company as I know they put in so much time and effort into making our one of a kind sign. It was done on time and as i said we were kept up to date during the whole process.

I was in the process of looking for a unique one of a kind sign for a buisness and I stumbled across wooden sign company. I went to the work shop where I saw some of the most amazing pieces of work.. it totally blew my mind. The signs are all hand done, multi-denominational. I didn't even realize something like this was out there. Wonderful small business, I recommend anyone looking for something truly unique to check them out.
