Flagpoles in Bangor

The commercial, medical and university hub for the whole northern half of the state, built at the head of tide on the Penobscot. We cover Bangor and the Penobscot County area, including West Market Square and the downtown blocks, the Penobscot River waterfront, the Broadway and Whitney Park historic districts, Husson University, the Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center campus, the Cross Insurance Center and Bangor International Airport.

Wind here. Bangor sits in an inland and river-sheltered area, which works out to roughly 110 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. Bangor publishes a frost depth of five feet, and that one number moves the price here more than the wind figure does. It is a deeper hole than anything we dig on the coast, and the concrete that fills it is most of what a foundation costs, so we confirm the depth with the city before we price it. Winter carries on after the hole is closed: a flag flies here through months of freezing rain and thaw, so the rope, the pulley and the cleat it ties to are specified to survive that rather than to save twenty dollars. Allow for review as well. Broadway and the Whitney Park blocks are historic districts under the city's own ordinance, and on those streets the Historic Preservation Commission settles what the pole looks like before the permit, not after it.

Most of the people who call us from Bangor are hospitals and medical offices, university and school buildings, city and county facilities, veterans posts and Legion halls, downtown offices and storefronts, and the airport and logistics tenants on Godfrey Boulevard.
