Flagpoles in Lewiston

The second city in Maine, built on the Androscoggin as a textile town and now running on two hospitals, a college and the brick mills themselves. We cover Lewiston and the Androscoggin County area, including the Bates Mill complex and the canal system, Lisbon Street and Kennedy Park, Bates College, the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, Central Maine Medical Center, Saint Mary's, the riverfront and the bridges across to Auburn.

Wind here. Lewiston sits in an inland, canal-and-mill urban 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. The mills are the whole job here. Lewiston was laid out around a canal system that still runs under and between the brick, so before a hole is marked on Canal Street or anywhere on the Bates Mill land we want to know what is beneath the spot: canal wall, the foundation of a building that has gone, or a service nobody mapped. A good deal of that ground is paved yard that was never soil, which means saw and breaker before anything turns, and that shows on the quote before the pole does. The falls the town was built on are there because the ledge is there, so the closer to the river you work the sooner the hole finds rock. In the downtown preservation district the Historic Preservation Review Board looks at exterior work first, and it sits once a month, so its calendar is part of your schedule.

Most of the people who call us from Lewiston are hospitals and medical offices, college buildings, mill landlords and their tenants, parish churches and schools, city facilities, manufacturers and Lisbon Street businesses.
