Flagpoles in Harrisburg

The state capital, and a government town first: the Capitol complex, the agencies around it, and the offices and associations that follow them. We cover Harrisburg and the Dauphin County area, including the Capitol complex, Front Street and Riverfront Park, City Island, Midtown and the Broad Street Market, Camp Hill and Mechanicsburg across the river, and the I-83 and I-81 corridors.

Wind here. Harrisburg sits in an inland, Susquehanna riverfront 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. Two different jobs in one city. The Capitol is a National Historic Landmark and the Department of General Services runs the complex around it, which is a separate process from a city permit and wants starting early. Everything else goes through Harrisburg, where the Architectural Review Board looks at exterior work in the municipal historic districts before a permit follows. Front Street and the riverfront look sheltered and are not: the Susquehanna is very wide here and there is nothing upwind, so those sites get sized as exposed. The West Shore across the river, Camp Hill and Mechanicsburg and the Cumberland Valley behind them, is limestone country, and limestone can be voided under ground that looks perfectly sound, so we want to see what the auger finds before the concrete is ordered.

Most of the people who call us from Harrisburg are state government buildings, associations and government-affairs offices, county and municipal facilities, hospitals, schools, veterans posts and churches.
