Flagpoles in Mesa

The third-largest city in the state and the working centre of the East Valley, running from a wide old townsite out to two airports and the aerospace shops around them. We cover Mesa and the Maricopa County area, including downtown Main Street and the Mesa Arizona Temple grounds, the Evergreen and West Second Street historic districts, Falcon Field and the aerospace corridor, Riverview, Superstition Springs, Eastmark and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway.

Wind here. Mesa sits in an open East Valley desert area, which works out to roughly 100 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. Mesa has a run of locally designated historic districts around Main Street and the old townsite, and exterior work inside one goes to the Historic Preservation Board for a Certificate of Appropriateness before the permit follows. At the eastern end of the city the ground is the problem instead. The Arizona Geological Survey maps earth fissures for the Apache Junction study area, where the basin has settled as groundwater was drawn out of it and the surface has cracked open, and those maps are drawn parcel by parcel. The city owns Falcon Field and shares Phoenix-Mesa Gateway, so on frontage near either one the height is checked against the airport overlay before the order goes in. Mesa also runs the largest school district in Arizona, and on a school ground the flag goes up and down every day of the week, so the cleat, the rope and the pulley wear out long before the shaft does.

Most of the people who call us from Mesa are school district buildings, aerospace and maintenance hangars, hospitals and medical offices, community college campuses, churches and temples, retail centres and city facilities.
