Flagpoles in Akron

A polymer and manufacturing city that grew up on rubber and now runs on the university, the hospitals and a research and distribution base spread across Summit County. We cover Akron and the Summit County area, including downtown and Lock 3, the University of Akron campus, the Goodyear headquarters and East Akron, Highland Square, Firestone Park, Stan Hywet, Cuyahoga Falls and the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath.

Wind here. Akron sits in an inland, sheltered and hilly area, which works out to roughly 115 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. What is under the hole decides an Akron job. The city sits on the Portage Escarpment, and the Sharon conglomerate that caps the ledges above Cuyahoga Falls lies near enough to the surface on the high ground that a drill can meet rock before it meets depth. That is a different day's work and a different price, so up on the ridges we would rather know what the last hole on the street found than guess at it. The winter is long here without being a snowbelt winter — Akron sees a little under fifty inches of snow in a normal year against more than twice that out in Geauga County — and it is the freeze and thaw rather than the depth of the snow that works on a footing.

Most of the people who call us from Akron are manufacturers and research campuses, university and hospital buildings, school districts, churches and community associations, city and county buildings and veterans posts.
