Flagpoles in Concord

The state capital, and most of what stands in it belongs to the state: the State House and the agency buildings around it, with a hospital, a technical college and a commercial strip east of the river on Concord Heights. We cover Concord and the Merrimack County area, including the State House and the gold dome above it, Main Street and Eagle Square, the Merrimack River, Concord Hospital, NHTI, St. Paul's School, the granite quarries on Rattlesnake Hill at the north end of the city and the Loudon Road corridor on Concord Heights.

Wind here. Concord sits in an inland, low-lying and 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. Concord carries the gentlest figure on this page, so on most sites the pole is the easy half of the job and the ground is not. The granite that built the State House, and the granite that built the first Library of Congress building, came off Rattlesnake Hill at the north end of town, and the same rock sits close to the surface across a good deal of the city: an auger can refuse well above the depth the frost line needs, and the last of the hole then has to be drilled and split. That is worth establishing before a foundation price is written down. Downtown work also passes the planning board's design review committee, whose comments tend to arrive as conditions on the approval. Main Street was rebuilt ten years ago with wider walkways and new planting, so a pole on that stretch is placed to keep the flag clear of the young trees as well as of the awnings.

Most of the people who call us from Concord are state agency and county buildings, city facilities, the hospital and medical offices, schools, churches, veterans posts and Main Street businesses.
