Flagpoles in Ann Arbor

A university and hospital town with a compact, expensive downtown, a research and technology ring around it and almost no heavy industry. We cover Ann Arbor and the Washtenaw County area, including the University of Michigan central campus and the Diag, the Michigan Medicine hospital campus, State Street and Main Street, Kerrytown, the Old West Side and Old Fourth Ward, Briarwood, the Huron River and Nichols Arboretum, and Michigan Stadium.

Wind here. Ann Arbor sits in an inland, wooded and rolling area, which works out to roughly 105 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. The first thing to settle in Ann Arbor is whose rules you are under. The University of Michigan is not subject to city zoning and reviews its own construction, so a pole on central campus goes through the university and one across the street goes through the city. In town, the Old West Side and the Old Fourth Ward are local historic districts, and anything visible from the street in them has to clear the Historic District Commission, which sits once a month. The ground is a relief after the lake plain: glacial moraine, gravel and till, and it usually augers clean. The calendar is the catch. We will not book an Ann Arbor install on a home football Saturday, because nothing on wheels gets near the stadium side of town that day.

Most of the people who call us from Ann Arbor are hospital and university buildings, research and technology offices, private and public schools, churches and synagogues, downtown restaurants and retail frontage, and condominium and neighbourhood associations.
