Flagpoles in Flagstaff

A mountain university and tourism town at about 7,000 feet, and the commercial centre for the whole of northern Arizona. We cover Flagstaff and the Coconino County area, including downtown and the Townsite and Railroad Addition historic districts, Northern Arizona University, Lowell Observatory, Route 66 and Milton Road, the Flagstaff Medical Center, Fort Tuthill and the Pulliam Airport area.

Wind here. Flagstaff sits in a high-elevation, snow-loaded 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. Flagstaff is nothing like the Valley and should not be priced like it. The footing goes below a real frost line here, which no job in the desert has to allow for, and it is snow and ice rather than wind that break things: a frozen flag hangs its whole weight on the rope and the pulley at the top of the pole, where nobody can reach either of them, so stainless hardware and a wall heavier than the mapped speed alone would ask for are the sensible specification. The other constraint is light. Flagstaff was recognized as the world's first International Dark Sky City in 2001, and the lighting code that earned it is the strictest we work under: a fixture for the flag has to be shielded and aimed, so it is designed with the pole rather than bought afterwards. If the flag is not going to be lit, it comes down at dusk.

Most of the people who call us from Flagstaff are university and school buildings, hotels and inns, the hospital and its medical offices, county and city facilities, churches, veterans posts and downtown retail.
