Installation & Repair
Who installs the sign is the difference between one that goes up clean and one that fails inspection — or fails in five years. Ours goes up in-house, lift-equipped, and local.
Overview
Every CorPro project we fabricate, we install. But we also install and service signs we didn't make — including channel letters, monument signs, pylons, and LED message centers from other vendors. If you've got a sign that's faded, damaged, out of date, or just needs to come off and be replaced, our crew handles it.
Being local means we don't ship your work to a regional contractor and wait for their schedule. We answer the phone, schedule the lift, and get on site — across the greater Rockford region and out to the Stateline.

Our process
From first measurement to final walkthrough.
- 01
Photo + location
Send us a photo and a street address — that's usually enough to quote a repair, refresh, or replacement.
- 02
Site visit if needed
For monument repair, structural damage, or any install over 12 ft, we come out and assess in person before committing to a schedule.
- 03
Quote
You get an itemized quote: parts, labor, lift time, travel. We don't bundle markup into a single line.
- 04
Schedule the lift
Our crew runs on a fixed weekly schedule — most repairs and refresh jobs are on the calendar within a week. Emergency response for storm or impact damage gets prioritized.
- 05
Cleanup & sign-off
We leave the site clean, document the work for your records, and (for LED message centers) confirm the schedule is running before we leave.

Common questions about installation & repair.
If you don't see your question here, the fastest way to get an answer is the quote form — we usually respond within a business day.
- Yes — channel letters, monument signs, pylons, and LED message centers from any vendor. Most of our service work is on signs other shops made. Send a photo and we'll quote.
- Yes. Damaged signs are a priority — both for safety and for your storefront. Call us with photos and we'll schedule the assessment that day if it's local.
- Depends on cabinet size and condition, but most channel-letter LED conversions land in the $400–$1,200 range per letter set; small illuminated cabinets are similar. You save the cost back in electricity and lamp replacement within 2–3 years.
- We work routinely across Winnebago, Boone, Stephenson, and McHenry counties — and travel into the Chicago suburbs for larger projects (see our work for Tinley Park, Clarendon Hills, and Arlington Heights). Travel is itemized on the quote.
