Flagpoles in Cleveland

A hospital, university and manufacturing city on the lake, with an office downtown and a working river port cut through the middle of it. We cover Cleveland and the Cuyahoga County area, including Public Square and the Group Plan Mall, Playhouse Square, the Warehouse District, the Flats and the Cuyahoga riverfront, North Coast Harbor, Ohio City, Tremont and Detroit Shoreway, University Circle and the Case Western and Cleveland Clinic campuses.

Wind here. Cleveland sits in a lakefront and urban 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. Exterior work on a designated landmark, or anywhere inside one of the historic districts, goes to the Cleveland Landmarks Commission for a certificate of appropriateness, which is why Ohio City, Tremont and the Warehouse District take longer than the work itself suggests. Downtown carries a foundation problem of its own. Mall B and Mall C are the roof of the Huntington Convention Center, which was built underground beneath them, so a pole up there is fixed to a structure and becomes an engineer's drawing rather than an auger hole. Lakefront ground from Edgewater round to North Coast Harbor has nothing whatever in front of it and is sized as open exposure. The lake is fresh, so there is no salt in the air to design against; the February phone calls are about a frozen rope and a seized pulley instead, and that is the argument for stainless hardware and a rope run inside the shaft on anything near the water.

Most of the people who call us from Cleveland are hospital and university buildings, downtown offices and hotels, city and county facilities, manufacturers and port operations, union halls and churches, apartment associations and veterans posts.
