Flagpoles in Appleton

The commercial hub of the Fox Cities, with fabrication and paper on the river, a large hospital and insurance workforce, and a downtown that serves half a dozen towns which run into one another. We cover Appleton and the Outagamie County area, including College Avenue and its historic district, Lawrence University, the Fox River locks and the old mill frontage, the Hearthstone and Vulcan Street hydro sites, the St. Elizabeth hospital campus, and the Fox River Mall corridor out in Grand Chute.

Wind here. Appleton sits in a sheltered inland river-valley 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. Appleton is one city in three counties. Most of it is Outagamie, but it reaches into Calumet and Winnebago as well, and the Fox Cities run together so tightly that a job people describe as Appleton often turns out to be in Grand Chute, Menasha, Kimberly or Little Chute, each with its own inspector. Give us the street and we will tell you whose desk it lands on. The river is the other thing. The Fox drops about 164 ft between Lake Winnebago and the bay, a good deal of it in short steps through here, and the mill and lock frontage on those steps has been built on since the middle of the nineteenth century, so a riverside footing gets looked at rather than assumed. Away from the river there is no open water to speak of – the rare Wisconsin address where the mild mapped figure is honest and the winter is the only real load.

Most of the people who call us from Appleton are manufacturers and fabricators, hospitals and medical offices, insurance and financial offices, school districts and parishes, municipal buildings, funeral homes and downtown businesses.
