Flagpoles in Houston

The largest city in Texas, with no zoning code, a deep energy and petrochemical base and a working ship channel through the middle of it. We cover Houston and the Harris County area, including downtown and the Theater District, the Texas Medical Center, Uptown and the Galleria, the Energy Corridor, Midtown, the Heights, Clear Lake and the Ship Channel industrial belt.

Wind here. Houston sits in a Gulf coastal plain area, which works out to roughly 135 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. Houston has no zoning, so what governs a pole is usually the deed restrictions on the property rather than a city district. The design wind speed is around 135 mph across most of Harris County and it climbs as you move east and south toward Galveston Bay. The towns east of Highway 146 – La Porte, Morgan's Point, Pasadena, Seabrook and Shore Acres – sit inside the Texas Department of Insurance designated catastrophe area, which brings windstorm-certified construction and an inspection certificate with it. The ground is heavy shrink-swell clay that moves with the season, so foundations go deeper here than the load alone would ask. Give us the street address rather than the city, because the gap between the Energy Corridor and Seabrook is a different shaft and a different piece of paperwork.

Most of the people who call us from Houston are medical and research buildings, energy and engineering offices, petrochemical and industrial plants, hotels, schools, churches and municipal facilities.
