Some of the oldest surviving frame buildings in the city, narrow lots, and a compact commercial strip along Wells Street.
Old Town has building stock that predates the modern code entirely, including frame structures that survived the 1871 fire. Narrow lots and tight party walls mean egress routes are often a single stair, which puts real weight on emergency lighting and exit signage — if that one route is dark, there is no second option.
The Wells Street commercial strip is mostly small operators in small footprints: restaurants, bars and retail in converted ground floors. Compact kitchens with a single hood are the norm, and so is a hood system that was sized for whatever the previous tenant cooked.
We cover every service across Old Town — these are the three that come up most. See all services →
Yes. Old Town is inside our regular service area and we cover it for extinguisher inspection, recharge and sales, hood suppression systems, fire alarms and emergency lighting. Call 312-877-2355 to get on the schedule — we work Mon–Fri 9AM–4PM · Sat 10AM–12PM.
We work across 60610, 60614 in Old Town, and throughout Chicago and the surrounding Cook County suburbs. If you are close to the edge of that, call and ask — the answer is usually yes.
We are based at 1840 N Clybourn Ave in Lincoln Park, so most of the North Side is a short trip. Scheduling depends on the week, but we work Monday to Friday 9AM to 4PM and Saturday mornings — call 312-877-2355 and we will tell you honestly when we can be there.
Yes, both. Commercial work is the larger part of what we do — restaurants, offices, retail, apartment and condo buildings — but we also supply and service extinguishers for homeowners.
Call 312-877-2355 during business hours, or send us the details and we'll come back with a quote and a service window.
