Flagpoles in Jersey City

A wall of towers facing Lower Manhattan across the water, with older brownstone districts directly behind it. We cover Jersey City and the Hudson County, New Jersey area, including Exchange Place and the Hudson waterfront, Newport, Journal Square, the Powerhouse Arts District, Paulus Hook, Van Vorst Park, Hamilton Park, Liberty State Park and Bergen-Lafayette.

Wind here. Jersey City sits in a dense urban on the Hudson 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. The waterfront is the exposed part. Nothing stands between Exchange Place and open harbour, and the towers behind it channel wind down the cross streets, so a waterfront pole is sized as open exposure rather than sheltered urban. Salt off the harbour is real, so we quote stainless hardware and usually an anodized finish. Paulus Hook, Van Vorst Park and Hamilton Park are designated historic districts, and exterior work in them needs a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission before a permit is issued. Much of the waterfront is built on fill and over parking decks, which makes the foundation an engineered detail instead of an auger hole.

Most of the people who call us from Jersey City are waterfront offices and hotels, condominium and apartment associations, brownstone conversions, schools, churches and restaurants.
