Flagpoles in Milwaukee

The largest city in the state and its business centre, with a downtown office core, a brewing and manufacturing past that still owns the riverbanks, and a working port on the lake. We cover Milwaukee and the Milwaukee County area, including the Historic Third Ward, the East Side and Brady Street, Walker's Point and Bay View, the Menomonee Valley, the Marquette and UW-Milwaukee campuses, and the Harbor District at the river mouth.

Wind here. Milwaukee sits in a lakefront urban area, which works out to roughly 105 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. Permits and inspections go through the Department of Neighborhood Services. If the building is a designated Milwaukee landmark or stands in a local historic district, the Historic Preservation Commission issues a certificate of appropriateness and the permit follows that. The Menomonee Valley is the ground to watch. It was marsh until fill came down off the bluffs and raised the floor an average of 22 ft, so what sits under a spot down there is made ground, and the footing gets designed rather than assumed. North of downtown the lake bluff begins, and anything on the water side of it is sized as open exposure whatever the street looks like.

Most of the people who call us from Milwaukee are downtown offices and hotels, manufacturers and breweries along the valley, hospitals and university buildings, parishes and funeral homes, veterans posts, and harbour and industrial properties.
